Ricky wont travel and Broner wont come here, that's the first issue. Then I also think Broner is too good for Ricky, which would also cause a problem. Demarco or Vasquez would seem the best fits.
This. Only way I see this fight happening is if somebody sacrifices home-field advantage. I think Broner would beat Burns regardless, but Burns deserves to have home advantage. Broner didn't leave the US when he fought @130, and now he has the perfect opportunity to broaden his fan-base. He should take it.
Thanks for your very insightful post. You're completely worthless.

I doubt Broner leaves, too ****y to do that. But he would make more money out there than in his hometown for sure...
IMO is a even fight. Burns has proved he has a good chin and fought decent opposition at 135.
Broner hasn't proved ****. He lost to Ponce at 130, who isn't a top 130 lber. He knocked out Litzau, who had been stopped twice. Then he was given a shot at the WBO belt Burns vacated against Vicente Rodriguez. Rodriguez wasn't rated highly and didn't even have one notable win, not to mention that he was like 5'4" or 5'5". After that joke a of a fight he fought the 5'6" Eloy Perez who tested positive for *******. At least Perez was ranked in the top 10 by RING at the time. And he showed zero class against Escobedo and exhibited to us that a LW can beat the **** out of a SFW.
Broner hasn't dealt with a fighter like Burns yet, and lets not forget he has to get by DeMarco first. That fight is by no means in the bad for Broner.
Thats why I don't get why people think Broner is elite. He has skills there is no denying it but he hasn't ever been tested. A FW gave hime his toughest fight, and Ponce isn't even that big for 126.
