    The problem with these kind of fantasy matchups is that boxing fans are programmed to sympathize with the older fighters.

    We don't really know what Rios is about because he hasn't been tested against the top fighters in his division. That test would come in the form of Juan Manuel Marquez or at 140 with Tim Bradley or Amir Khan.

      Right now Castillo via bloody war.

      Only because Rios hasn't faced a Floyd, Casa, Corrales or Stevie Johnson

      Acosta is more of a Julio Diaz type. Which is very good, but not that good.

      But I don't think Rios has reached his prime yet.

      They are physically the same size.

      And they both blow up big time after the weigh-in

      It would have been interesting.

          The majority of times they sympathize with the older fighters is because they fought 15 rounds and fought when they were less weight classes and 1 champ per division you idiot though it's not the case with this fight

                    Don't even mind him, trollers are going to troll. If I gave him the time of day, he'd have all he was looking for: attention.

                    Regarding Rios, I most recently interviewed his trainer Robert Garcia regarding Mercito Gesta's trainer' statements that Gesta had the style to beat Rios. I was at Rios' fight on the Pacquiao-Margarito undercard, but didn't interview him there I don't believe.
