    What makes you think Rios @ 140...

    What makes you think Rios @ 140 is going to be any different? He basically gets down to 140 & says 'fcuk it' anyway & has done for years.

    The guy has absolutely no definition at all, its not as if he has to cut ****** amounts of muscle or anything.

    The guy is a garbage fighter & talks of him fighting Khan HAHA! Whilst I hate Khan there is no doubt in my mind he would obliterate Rios within 6. Rios wouldn't get inside, he'd get plastered within 6 losing every round in the process.

    I think just about every legit 140lb fighter would beat him. Go look at the top 20, I personally think the only fighters he can beat out of them is maybe Holt (big maybe) Mabuza, Campbell, Theophane.

    He is already rated at No 5 at 140 ahead of Judah, Matthysse, Soto etc

    After what I saw this weekend, I wouldn't pick Rios over any world class fighter.

      The only way I reckon he would be better at 140 is with regards to stamina and a bit more power. However, 140 has naturally bigger guys who can take a better shot so rios will not have the advantages he has at 135 over his competition.

      His skills definately wont change, same **** different weight class. Only good thing is if he moves up he may get to fight maidana... now thats a fight i would like to see

          He might be outgrowing the 140 division already. But, Bradley, JMM, and maybe Peterson are the only ones that I would say have the best chance in beating him.

            rios sucks

            after what i saw, im like this dude is garbage

            his stamina, his whole dedication to cutting weight and being chiseled is terrible

            he has no jab, he has just power and good chin

            but other than that he ****ing sucks
