Comments Thread For: Rios Wants Cotto Next, Will Fight Rulsan For Right Money

[chepe009]

There' one thing for certain and that is that rios is not afraid to fight anybody. Dude loves to fight. With that being said, I think he's right about a potential provodnikov fight. He chased provo for a fight, provo and his team declined making excuses like rios Can't make weight (if a fighter says he can make the weight, he can. Some do it for the right opportunity which was the case here) now, the tables have turned, provo lost all of his buzz, he needs a rios clash to get his name back to contention. Why should rios give him a shot when he could chase bigger fights like Bradley or any of the GBP fighters. This is the part of the sport i hate the most but I've learned to deal with and embrace. If provo wants a fight, pay out the same as what the bigger names would. Provo needs the fight more than rios does

Why does one interview always get broken into multiple threads????

I've wondered the same thing for a while now. ...

No point discussing the amount of money on offer if we don't know what it is.

But I want to address something you said.

"if a fighter says he can make the weight, he can"

Only Rios didn't make weight for two fights in a row. Here's something to refresh your memory.

Wasn't Provo right to question if someone who has a history of not making weight will make weight? And didn't Rios confirm the su****ion by not taking a fight at 140?

Ppl will pay good money to watch a Provo/Rios fight. My guess is that they will do an Rios/Alvarez 3.

Neither Rios or Provo haven't done much lately so neither can demand too much. If Rios likes to fight so much maybe he should fight Richard Abril again

Provo was the legit champ until Algieri. Rios is the one who needs to prove himself. Provo has fought more notable names than rios,
