    Broner might actually have some success against Alvarado, but he wants no part of Rios.

    That's actually a genious idea. I'm not sure if casuals are quite as high on this guy as before. Before they were like "OMG BRONER = FLOYD" Now I think sometime will have to pass before they buy into the hype. The question is attaining that hype without losing his chin...

    I'd look to make Broner vs. Judah then I guess if he won that I'd go for a title shot against the weakest JWW titlist.

    If Judah is motivated like he was for the Garcia fight, he'd could beat hype job Broner. Why not try and feed him to someone like Pacquiao for a bigger payday?

    Judah can't beat anyone if he sleepwalks through and tastes canvas for the first 9 rounds of a fight (like he did against Garcia). And he can't beat anyone when he shows up with the brain and heart that he brought to the ring with him against Paulie (as he seemed to not give the slightest care for being there).

    I think it would be good because Judah is a logical opponent who beating will rightfully elevate ones' rankings a little bit at 140. Zab still brings in interest in New York so a Broner vs. Judah fight in Brooklyn would probably generate big money and attention. All the while Judah not being a fighter that Broner will enter as a decisive underdog, like he would be in the fight you recommend. Also, I am only looking at 140 and below for possible opponents. I too think that Zab doesn't pose the stylistic threats that others do to Broner... So if I was his handler, I would look into that.

    Broner should be fighting at 140, period.

    The real problem is that he's with Haymon and Haymon is not doing **** for his fighters. With so many fighters under his control, he should have Broner fight guys like Matthysee, Peterson, Garcia, Khan or some other guy.

    If he has any brains, he should leave Haymon. Unlike GGG & Kovalev who makes fights in a matter of weeks, Haymon's 140 roster is sitting around doing nothing with no fights planned.

    I'd go back to 135 if possible. Perhaps take a fight at 140 in between moving back down against someone like Ricky Burns.
