    He is talking about a return tune up fight in March. I know I am posting in the Land Of Haters here but try for a moment to lay the hatred aside if you can. Who would you like to see him fight stylistically, that would make this fight like a Gatti vs Ward style fight? I would choose Robert Guerrero.

    Brandon is now training with his dad Manuel. Having trained side by side with Manuel for several years I don't believe his Dad will add anything to Brandon other than a new motivation. Manuel taught Brandon the seek and destroy style from day one and really that is the only style he and his son know. So his style is not going to change. The only real difference is that Brandon respects his Dad and will listen to him above everyone else. Manuel will not let him gain weight, slack off at training and to not be focused.

    Brandon wants three fights and hopefully three wins and one more shot at a title. Who would you stylistically like to see him fight?

    Brandon would need a couple tune ups before this one but hell yea good fight. The press conference and weigh in would be epic.

    I'd love to see him fight Victor Ortiz. That'd be a crazy fight.

    154? Doesn't really matter. It'll be a hell of a fight.

    Agreed 154 would work. I would have given Rios the edge a year ago but now the fight would be close.

    He has no respect for the sport. He wasted everyone's time in the Bradley fight. He should just f* off, f* the hell off and stay retired.

    I don't see anything wrong with Rios wanting to give it another go. His days as a belt holder are probably over but he could make for some good fights if matched right.

    I think the obvious fight to make due to styles, promoter, size, etc would be Margarito if Antonio has anything left. I think Mikhaylenko would be a good fight if Rios could still make 147.

    After his fight against Bradley I don't care to watch him fight anymore. He should just retire instead of taking more brain damage.

    Unless he has had some kind of epiphany and is dedicating 100% to his boxing.

    At the world level he's done, but he might still have some left against b-c level fights. Rios-Cano good fight against a C-level it would be an even fight, Rios-Malignaggi, Guerrero, Berto, or Josesito Lopez very good fights, but Rios won't win those.
