Not even close. Gatti was champion in two weight classes vs Rios one. Gatti was in four Fights of the Year, Rios none. Gatti was a huge draw, Rios is not.
Fights of the Year according to whom? Rios-Alvarado I was voted 2012 FOTY by Sports Illustrated for example.
The guy was in exciting face-first brawls almost every time he fought.
