    We'll see what happens when he starts taking punches at 140. At LW, he's definitely a killer. I would raher see him vs. JMM than the either against Pac.

      Rios will loose against any top boxer with a good chin.. Khan is missing that last part. A street brawler who looked amazing against Antillon, the sand bag.
      Arum's job is to hype up the kid, but less get real. He hasn't face the best yet.

        i love the look he wears on his face when he's moving forward


        he's certainly a throwback

        he'll take two to land three

        or take three to land one big one and turn the fight around

        arum is doing things right moving him quickly at this point. you cant fight the way he does forever
        keep him out of the ring with anybody who moves well and has a good chin and enough power to keep him away (maybe a harder puncher than acosta) and i think he can do well with his style if he can actually remain a lightweight for any period of time

        we'll see what he looks like at 140, but there are some insane action fights there if GBP and TR can play nice (mathysse - rios, maidana - rios, guererro, etc.)

          The comments about Roach that Rios made were wrong but he apologized and Roach accepted it, why cant people who this has absolutely nothing to do with let it go? Rios made a mistake, just like everybody else in the world does from time to time and wishing parkinsons on somebody you dont even know isnt much better than the comments Rios made about Roach. How would you like to be judged for life over a ****** comment you made?
