I actually like Rios, but I dont see him beating anyone of note @ 147.
Broner, Thurman, Bradley, Marquez, DGarcia, Matthysse, Ortiz, Ghost, Provod, Alexander, Floyd, Pac, Maidana, all takes his food. He'd make most fights entertaining, but lose. I'm not sure he beats Abregu, JLopez, DChavez, Vargas, Karass, Khan or even Berto or Porter. I like the guy, but you'd have to bet on guys just trading with him. He's too slow, so most guys will just box him. Alvarado couldn't keep Provod away but looked great against Rios (when he boxed). At the end of the day, he's a c level boxer with a warriors heart.
Good assessment:afro::boxing::damnit1:
If the fight is possible to do with, i'll pick rios via late stoppage. I pick rios over broner and thurman
I know that he can be outboxed, but the thing is, if rios trains hard and is motivated, i know he is special and not just a punching bag.
Hope to see him fight broner, thurman, jmm, bradley, garcia and most of the 147 guys. He was just in with an atg and lose. He should not feel ashamed on it but learn from it.
:wtf1: if he's motivated!!! and trains hard!!! :wtf1:
The Acosta fight???? That was a long time ago and Acosta was given Rios some serious leather homie!!!! Hank Lundy beats Rios!!!! Richard Abril beat the brakes off Rios and was robbed!!! Yes Rios is a Punching bag Sir sorry but if you know anything about the Sweet Science you know I'm speaking the truth!!!!

Rios is not a punching bag, try re watching the acosta fight. Thats what will happen with broner. Rios will always be underrated in nsb, but i know the kid is as tough as nails. Thurman is just a hypejob for me, a.k.a. Andre berto right now. I hope he prove me wrong.

Rios lose to both he is a punching bag !!!! Broner is a very talented fighter !!! Rios takes to many hits !!! He needs some defense bad!!! Brandon's body looked a little flabby in the Pac Man fight!!! Broner vs Rios would be a must see fight !!! Thurman vs anybody 147lbs to 154lbs is good!!!:fest30:

Rios beats Broner gets destroyed by Thurman.
I dunno about thurman yet, for me he has just not faced a true challenge, not to belittle his skills and power, i think sotto karass will be his first test..
Yeah same, thoughts about broner, i think he just fast forwarded his career to ww. He could have got great challenges with the lightwelters. I know that bambam would demolish both broner and thurman due to pressure fighting.
Broner thrives against fighters like Rios. People seem to forget that he jumped two weight classes to face Paulie. Paulie was also a difficult style matchup for him. We all know by now that Broner has his struggles with movement. Rios will stand right in front of him. Rios has an excellent chin though so it would be a great test for Broner. We'll see if he has the heart, chin and will to be a top fighter. It's not an easy fight at all but I think Broner takes it.
Thurman beats Rios as well. He's a big kid with good movement. I can't see Rios beating him at all. I can see Thruman fighting like Alvarado only better and throwing harder punches when they do exchange.
If the fight is possible to do with, i'll pick rios via late stoppage
IDK about Broner, he couldnt even beat Paulie gate keeping ass, if a pillow fisted fighter like that can handcuff him and have him looking stupid what would a Rios do.....
