      Rios vs Matthysse, Maidana, Josesito Lopez are all fights that would be much more competitive. Last time he fought a smart boxer was Abril and he lost the fight. BTW I think Matthysse kills Rios, Maidana knocks him out and Lopez gives him a war.
      Wrong. He could beat all of them with an exception of Floyd.

      Rios beat Abril btw.

        Honestly? This fight is such a mis-match it's just too absurd that it's asked. Floyd would tee off on Rios... it's end in a TKO almost without a doubt. Hell maybe even a KO. Mayweather's defense is too good, he's too accurate, and his ring IQ is just unbelievable. Rios wouldn't be able to land much if at all especially when he eats counters every time he tries.

            Floyd would land 60% of his punches. This is the worst thread I've seen in a while.

            Rios goes from an overrated bum who couldn't beat Abril to this.......

                    People should be asking for fights that would not be one-sided coming in. Mayweather or Pacquiao vs Rios is just an abuse. They're trying to hype up Rios to make him a credible opponent fo Pacquiao. The sad thing is that this fight will happen in April and it will be so one-sided, it's going to be sad. Rios will get destroyed worse than Margarito did with the Mosley and Pacquiao beatings put together. Rios is so much smaller than Margarito.

                    There's no technique, no movement, no countering, slow hand speed, no head movement, nothing but a good chin and good power. He's just an action fighter who should be fighting other all action, no defense fighters.
