i know fighters switch trainers but u're saying it shouldnt be a big deal for ruslan to just switch trainer especially if he's gonna be in one of his biggest fight and he would be going up against his old trainer. why wouldnt this be a big deal? and whos to say ruslan would get a big pay day against pac? thought top rank is cheap?? and whos to say pac would win against rios??

Here is what I am saying. Logically, ruslan should fight the manny/rios winner next since he won. IF its manny as I expect, then ruslan can get a new trainer for just a manny fight because roach trains both. IF they fought, I expect roach to stay with manny. SO ruslan can get the payday rather than have to take a series of lesser paydays against guys who are not winning.

Obviously if rios wins, which me, you and most rational fans thinks is HIGHJLY unlikely, then its not an issue an ruslan v rios gets made without having to worry about the trainer issue.

I know you are not trying to pretend there is a bigger payday for ruslan than manny.

I said switching trainers wasn't a big deal in the context of getting the fight made because Ruslan coming off a big win would have options in terms of other top trainers willing to work with him..

I didn't say just switch trainers for the sake of it. I only used cotto as an example of a world class fighter that switched trainers before.

thank u!!...

there is no way you thought this is what This discussion was about.

I'm going with Broner. It would tell us once and for all if Broner is for real. Secondly it would be a super interesting fight that could go a number of ways.

Great question, if it wasn't for promotional disputes, I would have Provodnikov vs Danny Garcia, a real battle of number 1 versus number 2, such a rarity in today's sport. So that's why I voted that, in all honesty, I do not believe that fight happens any time soon. I can envisage an Alvarado rematch, possibly a Pacquiao fight or a Rios fight. Even a Bradley rematch makes sense.

I said switching trainers just to get a chance at the biggest payday. I didn't say just switch trainers for the sake of it. I only used cotto as an example of a world class fighter that switched trainers before.

cotto is a poor example because he actually wanted to switch trainers and goes thru them like dirty diapers

maybe so. relative to getting a ruslan v manny fight made, I think ruslan can obtain the services of any top trainer. If he chooses not to, so be it.

He beats everyone on GBP by KO and Alvarado beats most of them as well

Broner will outbox/counter him more easily than bradley did and wont fight fan friendly, Broner by UD

[Rome-By-Ko]

I would love a Prov vs Marquez match..

Broners gotta get past Maidana first. And if he performs anything like he did against Pauli, it wont be a win.
