    Pac isnt prime anymore.

    Floyd has been struggling against a past prime, 4 war after, not in his best weight cotto.

    Cotto is past prime as well, i dont think he can make 147 though.
    Whats funny now is that Rios is an HOF overnight... these threads have to stop.

      Explain the "talent" he has exhibited. When has he used boxing to overcome an opponent? He has great resilience and power, but don't confuse your admiration for him as him being skilled. Rios was completely shut down by Abril because Rios does not have the skills to defeat a solid boxer. I like Brandon, but I can't lie about his limitations.

        So having a fantasy fight with Cotto at 140 means hes getting inducted at the HOF in your world? LOL

          He can take a punch.

          The end?

          I mean and this guy beats Pac, Floyd and Cotto now? Stop it.
          Why are you putting 140 Cotto in the same breath as Pac and Floyd? And who the hell said Rios beats Pac or Floyd? You're just exaggerating for no reason.

          We saw a better Cotto lose to a similar fighter. It's a legit question.

            he has underrated defense, got some sweet uppercut and a well timed overhand right.

            I wont defend his performance against abril, it doesnt make him non to of little talent though.

                now you make sense, its like you say, I agree.

                  It would be Margarito Vs Cotto all over again. Rios is a bad style match up for Cotto.

                  Cotto can't fight going backwards and that's how you have to fight Rios.

                      Underrated defense?? It could only be worse if he kept his hands behind his back. Again, I like Rios but this nonsense really ruins my enthusiasm for him. This is what overhyping is about.
