        I like that. Have Ali fight Jessie Vargas or Algeri too. There's going to be some great fights at WW in a few years with Spence, Ali, & Crawford.

          I prefer the Ali fight. Rios gets schooled. He doesn't have the power or hand speed that Provodnikov does.

            Good. I'd much rather see Bradley vs Ali.

              I'd rather see Bradley Vs Rios with Ali facing the winner.

                Some day we will look back and say Rios fought everybody, but lost.

                  Ali said he ain't taking no step aside money. We'll see, money talks.

                    I prefer Bradley-Ali so there won't be any excuses about being washed up or whatever when Bradley wins. I can see people saying that Rios was passed it if he loses to Bradley.

                      I kind of agree with you guys.....

                      But the obvious fight that should happen is Rios/Provodnikov. That bloodbath has been discussed, but then talk died off for some reason.

                      Ali is extremely promising, but it is too early to match him up with a well-rounded vet like Bradley. I agree that Bradley/Ali is better than Bradley/Rios, and will co-sign that fight now..... but only because of the overall preception/acceptance that it is somehow unreasonable for Top Rank to sanction a fight with other promotional companies.

                      Rios should be fighting a mid-high 140lb'er, and Provo makes sense.

                      Bradley should be fighting a top welter, not Ali. But if there are no other options (so, if fans are happy to accept Bob's in-house rubbish so that he can maximise his profit margins) then Ali is likely the best available guy.
