Good fight, luis franco has been in tougher fights, but i russell can take it

[JeromyM]

Please....no more fights in DC. We already know how this fight will go. Just ask Amir Khan.

This is a fight i would fuc.king love to see. Franco's been tested in tough fights but russell's natural athletic ability can even things out. I like russell a lot but would rather see franco take it.
