    Delvin is acutally preety good and PPL say Issac is good too. I hope to see them fight soon so somebody can take that belt.

    What about Clottey getting it back?

    Rodriquez is a good fighter, and he is fun to watch. He had a rough time after he put Oscar Diaz in a coma, but Oscar seems to be recovering well, and so does Delvin. The long and the short of it is that Rodriquez is good, but no way can he hang with the top guys.

    Well I think catas is right. Hlastwayo vs Rodriguez was to decide who would face Clottey, it was a draw so the rematch SHOULD in all likelihood be for the title.

    Neither one will hold the belt for very long of course but simply put it would still be a decent feather in the cap of the fighter who wins.

    I would love to see Delvin Rodriguez win a world title, even if he only gets to keep it for a minute.

    Berto may take the oppurtunity to unify against such weak opposition, should he get by Collazo
