Why I don't respect Rios...

[FeFist]

If a fighter fails to make weight and the commission have reasonable grounds to think it will happen again they should refuse the sanction his next bout in that division.

I agree with this.

Getting to the lowest weight possible for as long as possible is pretty standard stuff in boxing so I can't hate on Rios too much over that. The coming in overweight twice in a row is a problem, but I see him being stripped of his title & paying a penalty to the commission & the opponent as owning up to that mistake so it all pretty much evens out in the end.

I dont get why people get on Rios' case so much

Rios talks a lot of crap. Anyone who talks a lot of crap is gonna get more attention & likely more negative attention.

Because he failed to make weight two fights in a row.

And this last time he went on and on about how he has no problems now making weight, eating all the time etc.

It has nothing to do with being lazy. It has to do with not listening to his body. If it was a beloved fighter then people would be worried but since he's outspoken and insulting people like you get offended by him. Thus finding ways to talk trash!

lol at all these idiots in here. Damn let it be. Nothing you say or anything gonna change a damn thing. go write in a journal. Rios tried to get to 135 for gamboa cause of the paycheck, and he pulled out top rank offered abril to him and he said why not the money is their. You guys sound like a bunch of girls. I dont like him cause he does this, or dont do this, I dont respect him cause he does this or dont do that. LOL like rios care about who you respect and like anyone on this forum cares about who you respect. Just watch the fights and enjoy stop trying to be so judgmental.

its a boxing we site where people all around the world express their opinions... rios needs to fight at 140, he lost his last fight then talked **** about it without giving any credit... hes going to get criticized bro...

Yes making weight is hard, specially if you are trying to get down to a weight that is not healthy for you according to your height.

This dude is 5'8 and somewhat of a medium to large frame, there is no reason why he should kill himself just to make himself weigh in at a weight he don't even belong in. I despise fighters who always try to have the upper hand to win fights, dude is no 135 pounder, he needs to nut up and step up to guys his own size!

Here is what your weight should be at 5'8:

Small frame: 140-148
Medium frame: 145-157
Large frame: 152-172

I honestly think he can make 135 with ease, considering how soft his body looks
at the weight, but if laziness or self discipline ain't the problem, then he should just go where he belongs and stop fighting those little guys.

lol what? first you say he's not 135 pounder but then you go on to say he can make 135 with ease lol

I just hope miraculously he lands the jmm fight so jmm can tee off all night. I think van bam has heart but I definately feel his main advantage was being naturally bigger. Rios and Joan Guzman should fight too. Not only would it be action packed, but both would come in over weight so it wouldn't be a big deal LOL
