But, you so how -not so much Maidana greater mental toughness- but more so Ortiz weaker mental toughness that helped Maidana overcome if you want to call it that against Ortiz.
So it all depends. Ortiz could KO Rios in 3 or Rios can out hustle, out fight, out tough, Ortiz. It all depends on how Rios carries the weigh and takes the Ortiz power IMO.
You brought up Maidana. That would be a great fight and a real test of Rios's future at the higher weights. Based on my reasoning, I believe Marcos would win that match-up. Something tells me it's a fight we're very likely to see.

All I have to add is that I don't believe Rios will do as well at the higher weights. I believe he was draining himself for a long time to take advantage of his superior size. There's no other logical reason. But you're right; we won't truly know what the deal is until we see Rios at 140 and 147.

Maybe an Alvarado fight at 140, might be the next best thing.
