Is Brandon Rios a Top Tier Fighter !??! or just a name??

[CTC JOHNNY]

the guy has skills to me but me and a friend of mine had words over Rios statuses as a top fighter!! What do you guys think good and bad !!!

[John Locke]

Very limited, predictable fighter. Good to watch, but really he's nothing more than a walking punchbag.

He's a title contender at 140. At 147, I don't know. He'd be a journeyman at welterweight. Notch below PPV fighters. He can beat some welterweights but only against other brawlers or guys who can't take a hard punch.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Rios is kinda of a name,he's a likable guy..He's fun,but he is a sub-par fighter,will never get the top tier guy..

[Spray_resistant]

He is a notable punching bag who people like to watch but no he is not top tier fighter.

[DeadLikeMe]

People were calling him Bum Bum Rios three or four years ago already. Then Pacquiao fights him and we are all supposed to pretend he is great all of a sudden. Like others have said, he is a very limited, slow punching bag.

[IMDAZED]

Rios is nowhere near elite. At 135, he's a decent fighter who already sounds punch drunk. Above 135 I don't rate him.

[Daniel_T5]

neither. casuals barely know who he is

Wow you people make it seem like rios is a complete and utter bum. Rios gives danny,matthysse,ruslan etc all tough fights at 140.

I doubt it. He'd lose to every one of them, that's for sure.
