Brandon Rios is very exciting... but is he that good?

Brandon Rios isn't what I would call good. But he has a ton of potential. I think if he really puts forth the effort to train hard loose all that fat around his midsection he can be a real force. Unfortunately many fighters never see the opportunity before them. Example: Juan Diaz.

we have to support these guys... with manny pacquiao most probably retiring soon, and PBF going to prison :) , we need some new blood to carry this sport...

He'll send any blown up featherweights back to their divisions. That goes for Soto or Marquez. Rios is too big and too strong for either guy. Katsidis wouldn't be able to deal with him either. Rios hits harder and is far more busier than Casamayor at lightweight.

He's good, but he's not world class.

Let's see him vs Katsidis for some real battlin'. :box2: You and your custom emoticons.

Yeah, Anthony Peterson showed he could box around Rios, but fought terribly when hit. A guy like JMM would demolish Rios.

Let's see him vs Katsidis for some real battlin'. :box2: What a fight that would be.:boxing:

He's not elite. His heart, toughness and will can get him some more decent wins.
