& again with you reading stuff that i never once typed. i never once typed that rios didn't beat up on peterson. he ran through peterson. what i TYPED was that he outweighed peterson by 14 pounds. he didn't beat peterson in a way where it was based on skill. he overpowered peterson.
"so you think boxing is simply about out boxing your opponent?"
no. but in rios case he's there to be out boxed as proven by past opponents that he's faced.
look at a fighter like duran. when duran would come forward he took his time picked his shots and moved his HEAD. even with a guy like mike tyson. when tyson brawled foward he would move his head. even though these fighters could be very effective coming foward. they were also VERY skilled. rios just comes foward and throws wild punches with his chin wide in the air. to me he's there to be outboxed. thats why i don't think Gesta having a nice chance of defeating him is such a farfetched idea.
look if you think rios is the next world class fighter thats your opinion. & i have my own opinion.
