Can anyone at 147 KO Rios?

Thurman could, certainly. Shame it won't happen.

malignaggi would tickle him to death with his punches and the corner would stop the fight. so malignaggi via stoppage 7th round

I can and Thurman should be able to do it.

Paulie malignaggi would stop him on cuts

Also you get salsa to move up in weight he'd blow rios out inside of 6...:boxing:

Thurman would destroy him. "One time" is a finisher, so when he lands that big shot and rios is about to smile Keith comes in with a lot more till he drops.

Thurman would ala Mosley-Margarito. But Rios aint gonna go down like some punk in the first round....

Tim Bradley can. He's a huge puncher. Tim Bradley a big puncher? Look at his record.

Ruslan Provodnikov would make him quit.

Thurman stops him, whether it be via accumulation of punches or actually KOing him he can get a stoppage on Rios. He would outclass Rios with thunderous shots. Manny was boxing off his backfoot and wobbled Rios with countershots.

I'd say Marquez without a doubt, maybe Thurman...maybe. i'd love to see marquez try.

thuman would stop him

thurman could for sure

if librado andrade can get stopped with a body shot, well then theres your answer..

I'd say rios Thurman would be similar to margarito Mosley....maybe

Maybe Thurman can, one thing Thurman has also is his vicious body punch, he could KO fighters with that body shot or he could break Rios down with the body then head. One thing with Thurman is his chin seems shaky but idk maybe well see how he is if he fights someone like Chino and gets hit with a overhand right. Was just about to say a body attack would be the way it would get done. Although if he fought a Thurman-level power puncher for 12 rounds, or went through a war with Provodnikov, that's a recipe for an Abdusulamov situation

Matthysse if he could carry his power upto 147, Matthysse's greatest weapon is his stamina, not just his power, the man can throw big bombs for all 12!

lol Rios' defence is his face bro there are precautons for when a punch gets through, that's the point of tucking your chin, being balanced etc rios gets hurt plenty when caught flush, but he has underrated defense, on think defense only consists of shoulder roll or blocking, he knows how to take a punch as they say if you want to see an iron chin, look at margarito, he takes combo's head-on, square on the face, he doesn't roll his head or his shoulders, he just gets punched if it goes past his guard

No, Thurman has the best chance. A Provodnikov fight might take it out of him too. As to Marquez, he didn't KO Alvarado or hurt Bradley and Rios has a better chin than both.
