Wow .. that summed it up perfectly.

I don't like calling you that but they are more different than alike. Duran was much better. Duran was a harder puncher, smarter, and a better boxer. Duran was also much faster, with a better defense. Rios is like Duran in his high work rate, attacking style, and his strong will to win. Rios has a good chin but not nearly as good as Duran's chin.

Because then I agree.

I thought it was because Rios ate Duran.

Rios got a granite chin though. That at least is similiar to Duran.
