I know its a long shot and wont happen ... maybe ever but wouldnt you like this match up.
I think it could be a good one and the first big test for Broner, could be a Floyd vs Castillo kind of fight if everything goes right.
So any toughts about this one hehehe
hes been protected? how so exactly???
He's not protected at all, his resume is actually pretty good for his level of experience. It's just that his title shot was kind of a setup (can't blame him, Burns didn't want it), and the one time he faced an experienced puncher he struggled despite the serious size advantage. Maybe it's the southpaw factor, and he's probably gotten better since.
I just think both Broner and Salido could benefit from this fight...
Good payday for Salido if he losses he can go back to 126 and blame it on the weight and retain his title.
Broner can cement himself as one of the true next superstars of the sport.
And the fans would get a good fight IMO, maybe a similar fight to Salido vs Gamboa.
How has Broner been "protected". He fought Ponce De Leon at the age of 21, was suppose to fight Ricky Burns for the WBO Super FW title, but Burns vacated and jumped to LW instead. He fought Litzau, who had just beaten Caballero who was in the Top 10 P4P at the time, and he just beat his mandatory Top 10 ranked Super FW Eloy Perez. For 22, he's doing alright so far.
Broner beats Salido by UD. He may knock Salido down in the fight, but I don't see him knocking him out. Salido throws wild punches off balance a lot, but they land on Lopez, who has NO DEFENSE. Broner has a solid deense, is a great counter puncher, far greater speed than anything Lopez has. I say Broner beats him 116-111/117-110, knocking him down once in the fight.
I agree that it would be a good matchup. I am not sold on Broner. He has been protected his entire career and has not been in the ring with anyone capable of coming close to beating him. Salido could beat him and that is why his team will not make the fight. The reason Salido got the opportunity to fight Lopez is because Arum refused to make a Lopez-Gamboa fight because he was protecting his investment and thought Lopez would easily beat Salido. Broner's team is no different. hes been protected? how so exactly???
Broner-Salido would be a good fight, though with the promoters, it'd never happen. It wouldn't be quite as good as Mayweather-Castillo. Mayweather and Castillo are still better than Broner and Salido.
I do agree with some points like Broner dont want Salido at this point.
But actually i think its a good match up for Broner and Salido IMO would definitely take the fight.
This would do wonders for Broners reputation if he wins the fight, Salido has become a solid champion in most people eyes.
If he losses i think he could easily re build his career at this point.
I hope broner doesnt become obsessed with that 0 so early in his career.

Ponce and salido are different in many ways. All of those ways work in Broker's favor. It really is a terrible match up for salido and its nothing broner hasn't seen before.
Most likely.
Broner needs to fight 130 and 135 fighters anyway.
Salido can stay at 126.
People said the same thing about Ponce.
I said that bout Ponce.
But i do think Broner beats Salido.

I think Salido should stay at 126 and go nowhere. Maybe get the fight made vs Caballero which I would favor Salido IMO. He should first get a "gimme" fight tho like someone pointed out.
Broner kills Salido. Too big, too fast, too powerful. After ppl see the two in the ring, no1 would even give browner credit. And its nothing like Floyd vs. JLC. Broner's bigger naturally than salido.

All I have to say is I completely disagree with anyone who might come in this thread and say Broner destroys Salido.
