    firstly - it's not officially confirmed YET.

    If it does get made then I disagree and say the opposite - bad matchup

    Bradley schools him.


    Rios doesn't belong in the ring with the Bradleys or Pacquiao's of this world.


    Alexander would destroy him.
    Algieri would pick him apart

    Abril picked him apart

    Not a Top 10 welter.

    Go back to beating up smaller men like Broner...hell atleast Broner has SOME talent when it comes to boxing.

    Don't care if Bradley has shown a real tendency to have mental lapses.

    What about Ali...??? Is the WBO going to allow Bradley to sidestep his mandatory...???

    Ali already said he will not accept step-aside money, he wants the fight...!!!

    If Bradley decides to box, he schools Rios on the cards.

    Algieri would pick Rios apart? what? Algieri picked no one apart in his lifetime. His entire career is based on a single controversial SD win. How anyone can compare him to Rios is beyond me. I don't know why people underrate Rios so much. He's a solid top 10, if not better.

    Bradley dominated but almost got knocked out by a mediocre Vargas. Rios is a far better fighter than Vargas. Anything can happen in this fight. I think it will be either Bradley by decision or Rios by KO - and I'd not dismiss this possibility at all.

    Overall this is a great fight, a FOTY candidate.

    Bradley by easy decision-if he can come up with the idea to use his jab and movement.

    He'll accept step aside money... From the looks of it HBO doesnt want to pay for Bradley vs Ali, they dont feel its an attractive enough fight..I disagree.

    Did HBO say that, or did Arum just say he didn't like the fight?

    I like Sadam Ali, and I think Bradly-Ali is a good fight as well. It just seems strange that HBO not interested. Ali is a good boxer.

    I figured Ali would eventually accept the step aside money, but make it look like he is being forced to...!!!
