Comments Thread For: Rocky Martinez Reportedly Not Interested in Rios Shot

[ChampBox@PR]

Would be dumb to take on Rios in his first fight at 135 after a long layoff.

Told ya, Rocky was not fighting Rios!!

So who's the frontrunner(s) now?

The fight will be against Molina Jr.!

[Ringlife]

I like Rocky but no Rios right now he needs to stay at 130 and fight the top guys their. Rios is the top dude at 135 Rios should be fighting John John Molina is the best fight that can be made for the undercard right now.

Rios is too big to began with.never the less nobody can't beat him in his own division.

Good for him. Rocky is nobodies doormat but I don't think he could beat Rios. It might even be a career changing type of brutal fight for him. This is better-- we can have Latino champs @ 135 and a Latino champ @ 130. .

Translation: My chin is not as strong as Rios.

Look. What Rios has going for him is a strong chin and very good power. That's what Rio does. Test your chin vs his chin. At higher weight he is a KO waiting to happen.

Molina jr or michell would be good choices and more better on rios resume.
Martinez should fight gamboa or broner.

he's going to have to fight broner,broner is fighting for the wbo vacant title and we know he'll win,martinez will fight him,unless all of a sudden he decides to fight another champ

Martinez goes life and death with bums, imagine what Rios would do to him.

[STREET CLEANER]

On MSG where it's full of Ricans with 2 Mexs? Wouldn't make sense to be honest.

Why it wouldn't make sense. In your head you think Ricans hate mexican boxers. Boxing sales in NY or anywhere near NY the taxes are killing the business here

[RSBonos]

I didn't mind the Martinez fight because it would have been a brawl and because he is Rican. However, it wouldn't have lasted more then a few rounds.

Molina and Mitchell are better, especially Mitchell. I am a little concerned that Top Rank will see the fast ticket sales and give us a showcase fight.

[Slyboots]

Smart move by Martinez. I think we all know that Rios would ****ing destroy this guy.
