    pfttt!!! Rios, but I bet Broner won't ever fight Rios. That is unless Rios were to get beat first.

    Rios has far too many defensive holes.

    Broner has more power, more accuracy, and 20 times the handspeed of an Alvarado.

    Let's not forget, Rios was given problems and got hurt by Miguel Acosta.

    Broner, more power than Mike Alvarado?

    Not so sure about that.

    And besides, these X gave Y problems thus Z must also give him fits is not how this sport works. If you want to play that game, Broner was timid and looked gun shy vs Ponce De Leon, Rios is far more dangerous than he is.:smoke

    Yes, Broner has more power than Alvarado. Alvarado is not a puncher by any means.

    The styles in a Broner-Rios matchup are pretty terrible for Bam Bam.

    Rios knows only one way to fight, coming forward, and has no defense to speak of, only depending on his solid chin.

    He'll walk into Broner's uppercuts all night, and eventually they'll take a toll.

    It'd be a fun fight though, I'd love to see it, but the difference in skill would be brutal, brutal for Rios.

    Broner only fights bums, mark my words, he would NEVER fight Rios or any elite fighter

    Broner i think, would be a great fight. Matthyse is the only fighter at 140 I think beats Broner

    Broner's still too green for me to picture this. I have Rios right now. BTW I lean toward Ponce De Leon having won the Broner fight.

    I'm not sure if Rios can eat a ton of Broner hooks and uppercuts, but I don't know if Broner can stand too many clubbing blows from Rios either.

    All I know is I'd pay to see the buildup between Rios and Broner.
