    No, unlike some people I actually watch boxing from around the world so I have seen Beltran fight and know it will be a great fight. Far far better to watch than Vasquez/Abril.

    The most important thing for Rickys next fight is he is in a good fight and wins. If his next fight is a stinker then he will struggle to pull in big crowds. Lets be honest the casual dont know who Vasquez and wont care that hes a belt holder.

    I would fight Beltran first then fight Vasquez and if he comes through build to massive fights next year.

    I know you have your own set of criteria but surely with Broners own admission that he won't be at 135 again any time soon he needs removing?

    Until he fights in the new division he stays ranked there.

    Agree with this.
     
  9. Out of the fights that are likely to happen id enjoy DeMarco and Beltran the most.

    Ricky needs guys who will play to his strenghts by standing their ground and fighting, so we can rule out Abril, Gamboa, Vasquez & Broner, that's just common sense.
     
  10. Linares was a good call
    A real talent who would still be a big name on the record

    Because not everyone is involved in petty internet sqaubbles and because Rob does his own rankings that are published on CHB, Mr "joined May 13". :lol:

    That makes too much sense for the majority to get their head around tho.
