what hype? he fights on undercards and on showtime still. the small hype he does get is from forum posters. it's not like he's gary russell or adrian broner headlining cards on hbo against bums.

Weren't his fights with Antillon and Acosta both headliners?

You replied to my comment
9 out of 10 a boxer beats a brawler...
If that was the case we would almost never have any world champions who were not slick tacticians.

So the point I’m trying to make is look at the p4p list none of them are brawlers.. so most of the time a boxer beats and surpasses a brawler.

P4P lists are subjective fighters winning championships in the ring are not(pending no controversy).

Brawlers beat slick tacticians all of the time.

I have seen that fight, I do think he is a good fighter but what I'm trying to say is he would get beat by a good boxer!! Would you agree??

It is a dumb arguement. Yes a good boxer could beat him, but on the other hand, he could easily beat a good boxers. Khan barely beat Marcos Maidana. Maidana nearly shut out the lights on Khan. If those two would ever fight again, Khan may out box him again, but if Maidana lands his big punch, would be kissing the canvas good night.

yes on showtime. showtime is where people go if they can't get on hbo yet clowns like broner and berto get on hbo fighting bums and rios is the hyped guy?

Would he fight Linares?

Be perfect opponent for Linares to get his career back on track.

]I'll type however the **** I want to bro[/B], deal with it. I'm saying you're hating on Rios by you claiming the kid's overrated when nobody is saying he's the next Sugar Ray Leonard. The guy is exciting in the ring and will provide us with a ton of good future fights, that ain't overrating him at all. We all know he'd probably get outboxed silly by a good boxer, but let's just enjoy his wars until then.

Think you have no idea what a promoter does and need to learn a little bit more about the sport bro.

1. I see your a tough guy

2. You can't be accusing me of hating b

3. I could tell your IQ is quite low and you like to use your own intellect, low IQ + using own intellect= disastrous. Now tell me where in this whole thread did I say he is overrated I said hyped, so don’t use your on intellect and twist a next brothers words.

4. You just agreed to nearly all what I said about him getting skooled by a good boxer..

5. Promoters promote their fighters and to mention him as a possible opponent for one of the best p4p best fighter in the world and without paying your dues, is promoting but also hyping..

Its all about being able to impose your style like a I said with a good gameplan not about style superiority.

How comes he couldn’t impose his style in the other 2 fights.. Plus regarding their first fight is so debatable, Ali going prison ect so let’s not debate about that.

For the same reason Ali couldn't in their 1st fight probably, maybe better strategy, maybe one fighter doesn't have the best camp, or maybe one guy's energy level is better on any particular night.....there could be a variety of reasons that we can speculate about but I don't subscribe to the idea that the slick defensive boxer's style is inherently superior to other styles fighters use.
