    I have no problem with fighters from different divisions meeting in the middle so a fight can happen if they both agree when the contract is signed.

    If he took this fight at 140 he would regain some of the fans he lost with this weight bull**** as the advantage would be with the other man, but this fight will never happen and I have little faith in Rios as a top level boxer,

    both would come in overweight.

    They should have a three man tourney with Broner,Rios and Guzman.

    With no weight restrictions.

    It's easy to call out for fights that you know have no chance of happening.

    Broner is used to get in his own way and likes to walk guys down but Rios, as limited a fighter as he is, wouldn't be having any of that. I think Rios beats the **** outta him. Broner might use the philly shell but he's no defensive fighter, plus he's a stationary target so I can't see him keeping away from Rios and outboxing him.

    Rios is a joke now, in my book. Broner would do a number on him. I'd still like to see it - Rios is like a better, bigger Ponce de Leon.

    Then make it @140. It's not like Broner will have hard time making the weight.

    No more catchweight BS.

    what the **** do you think catch weight means? Dawson is not fighting Ward at a catchweight, he is fighting ward at Super Middle weight.

    This **** is okay with you but like I said Manny can not ask for a catch weight with Cotto.....
    your ****ing sorry kid
