It just sucks that Rios right now is at his apex and still doesn't have a resume building win yet. When its all said and done Rios will be a huge disappointment because he destroyed everyone but never got the big fight because of Arum
Rios is heavy handed as **** but also some fighters just have tougher skin than others like Maidana for instance he never looks like he has been in a fight even though he gets hit so much.
Alvarado is a big question mark for me right now. I think if anything, the question lies more on Alvardo than Rios. I felt like Acosta was a big enough test for bam bam and he trucked his way to a HARD fought victory. I'm not sure what Alvarados intangibles are, and if he is capable of withstanding the type of pace bam bam will make him fight at. Guys like Bam Bam, Kirkland, etc, they take you to places you probably have never been before. That's what makes them so effective.. problem is, they lose as soon as the person is OK with the pace usually.
