    Brandon Rios will not have a long career

    This guy is huge and he keeps draining himself trying to make 135.

    From what I heard he is pretty big like 5 foot 9 or 10 and his walk around weight is 180.

    Ricky Hatton could cut to 140 because he was a small bloated fat guy with a smaller frame, but Rios weight cutting is not healthy at all for his frame.

    I see him having a short career like Fernando Vargas, he is already slurring his words, and I think if he moves up in weight he will start getting knocked down and knocked out by bigger guys.

    He has no defense and only reason he can take punches now is because the guys he fights are smaller than him.

    It's a shame because I like watching him, but I don't see him going up in weight successfully. He will lose his power and his style is very bad hit and hit back and combine it his Mexican machismo and that is recipe for disaster.

    Rios brags about his chin but he doesn't have a Margarito chin because unlike Rios, Margarito has been hit clean and flush by some big ass punchers, Rios hasn't tasted flush shots by a guy his size.

        He has no choice but to move up to 140.

        I honestly don't think he will do well at 140 without his size advantage when fighting at lightweight.

          Guys with his style never have long careers anyway.

          imo he has a good 5-6 years left in him.

                I agree with ya. Rios has a lot of heart but JMM would embarrass him

                    Marquez combos are deadly accurate and he would shock Rios. Rios is ****** for bragging about chin anyone can have a chin when they outweigh their opponent.

                    Rios is bigger than Pacquiao and Mayweather yet they fight at higher weights than him successfully and don't put on any weight maybe 3 pounds tops in the ring, and this guy Rios is still at 135 pounds walking around at 180?
