        Depends how good of an opponent he fights from now on. I'm wondering if they take it easy or he keeps fighting good fighters. They are talking about moving up to fight Khan or someone like that and I don't think Rios can beat Khan.

            Who? Petersen is probably better. Neither are top fighters.

                yeah, but i think he'll have to unify or move up. not sure who has the other belts, but i think he can get them all, if guerrero or marquez don't get in the way. it'll be interesting to see him move up when he does though, lots of good fighters at 140 atm.

                    Nah. Anthony has some good skills. He was national golden glove champ and I remember reading in a ring magazine, he's beat quite a few world champs up in the gym.

                        Dude. Besides JMM, Ascota was rated as the best Lightweight in the world.

                        He hadn't been beat in 8 years, & scored back to back KO wins over 25-0 Paulus Moses & 26-0 Urbano Antillon.

                        That was a really good win for Rios.

                            I think so, he reminds a lot of Margarito but he is more technically sound. I don't think he'll ever be top 5, but I can see him hitting the 7-10 at some point.

                                Possibly. IMO, there's not much young talent out there, so I could see it happening.

                                His style isn't conducive to a long career though and it remains to be seen how he will fare at higher weights.

                                        Acosta showed that he is a solid fighter and some of his rolling and countering off the ropes was impressive, but he wasn't the best LW IMO.
