How is Canelo a better opponent than Rios?

You can spin things any way you want to make Rios sound better than Canelo but he just is not as good as Canelo.Look at the rankings. Canelo is the #1 rated 154 pounder in the world by almost every organization that ranks fighters. Boxrec, Ring,Boxing Scene, anyone else who ranks fighters all have Canelo #1 and Rios at about # 5 or 6. Canelo is a unified world champ of both the WBA and the WBC and Rios is champion of nothing. So Canelo was rocked by a good puncher when he was a teenager, he stayed on his feet and knocked the guy out.Rios has been rocked and knocked down himself.Canelo does not block punches with his face like Rios.Rios just lost his last fight to a #5 or 6 contender and Canelo just beat a very good champion. As far as Trout beating a washed up Cotto, he beat Cotto right after Cotto gave Mayweather his hardest fight so Cotto was not washed up. Cotto would beat the hell out of Rios. But you just go right on kidding yourself that Rios is a better fighter than Canelo. Why do you think Rios was picked for Pacquiao's comeback fight? Pacquiao needs to get back on top with an impressive KO. Rios was picked because he is not that good and unless Pacquiao is ruined Rios is going to make Pacquiao look good.

Only thing Canelo has done in his carer is beat Trout who beat a shot to **** Cotto. How is that even impressive? Rios on the other hand has beaten beasts like Alvarado. Rios beating Alvarado >> Canelo's whole resume. Canelo got rocked by Cotto's cousin and has terrible stamina Rios on the other hand has an iron chin/heart and stamina to keep punching. I can't believe Pac is taking on such a young, hungry lion like Rios coming off of a KO loss. Pac is too much of beast and warrior for his own good. I think he should've taken an easier fight First of it was Cotto's brother who rocked Canelo. Second Canelo is young undefeated and unified champion. While Rios is a good comback fight for a fighter who just got knocked unconscious, Canelo is the better opponent

As for TS, is Canelo a P4P level fighter? No, not yet, but the potential is there. Rios? I'd honestly be surprised if he wins a fight after the brutal ass beating Pacquiao is going to give him. The guy has a great chin and motor, but zero defensive skills. Also Trout >>>> Alvarado. Cotto is not shot, faded yes, but he is not shot. Faded Cotto >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anybody Rios has ever fought.

It should've, but I've not been in NSB in forever. Now I remember why I stayed away. It was nice having one of the few of us who actually understands boxing in here for once. Bye until next time Bringer. http://25.media.tumblr.com/72d9ecf0fddd230e554632d1ff1bf9e1/tumblr_mngp09YtQh1ssgfsvo1_500.gif

Jesus, NSB is getting worse by the hour.

Honestly, I cant think of one thing Rios does better than Canelo. A good tough comeback fight for pac tho. Mayweather picks Rios apart. Canelo gives Mayweather a fight.

TS's user name should have caught your eye :lol1: It should've, but I've not been in NSB in forever. Now I remember why I stayed away.

Silly me. I actually thought this was an honest discussion thread. Only now do I realize that it's yet another 'say anything to discredit Floyd's upcoming opponet' thread. The bottom line is that Canelo is undefeated in over 40 fights, has a huge Mexican following, and is a reigning champion in his own weight division. Rios, on the other hand, is a word slurring d*ckbag with no real fan following whatsoever outside of Elie Seckbach and the janitors at Garcia Boxing Academy in Oxnard.

Rios >>> Canelo >>> Drained Canelo

Rios is a B grade meathead that got beat in his last 2 fights and has never been at WW , he is a give me fight for Manny to look good , Canelo would blast him outa there , and thats not to mention Canelo is 2 weight classes above Rios , Mosley would beat the sheeet outa Rios and we know how he went , and in my wildest dreams I cant imagine Abril or Alvarado going past a few rounds with Canelo . Watch more boxing and a less hero worshiping .

Rios got beaten by Abril and Alvarado, FFS. There's no way in hell he's better than the ginger Jermain Taylor.
