    We saw a better Cotto lose to a similar fighter. It's a legit question.
    Rios is being massively overrated. He can hit hard and he can take a punch nothing boxing hasn't seen before. I dont get all the hype he was damn near shut out in his last fight.

    He lost at WW. Marg and Rios are similar? Hes 5-8 with a 68 inch reach. Margarito was a Middleweight on fight night and stood 5-11 with a 73 inch reach. Those fights would look NOTHING alike. Rios is a much smaller fighter.

    One of the reasons Margs style worked so well against Cotto was because he was huge.

      you didnt see him slipping some of alvarados punches?

      his hand behind his back? really? LMAO, hes an action fighter, hes no pernell whitaker, but kid has more than decent boxing abilities coupled with gatti like never say die attitude. Thats enough to win as he proves time and time again.

        tremendous workrate, good chin, never say die attitude, persistence bordering on insanity. Looks like a plasterless margarito to me.

        Overrated how? because he will be most likely be competitive against cotto at 140? gimme a break. You know who getting overrated? Adrian "2 gifts" Broner.

          He doesn't have Margaritos size. He doesn't have Margaritos strength. He doesn't have Margaritos power.

          This is like when people compare Marg to Angulo. They're not the same just because they're face first brawlers.

          And speaking of gifts didn't Rios just get one.

            Is it his win over Abril ( By robbery), his win over Alavardo or the prospect of him being matched up against Pacquiao in spring that's causing people to see things that aren't there?

              Dude you are one weak excuse of a boxing fan.
              We talking about styles, ill give you an example. PWILL has the same frame, height like hearns but his styles/skills doesnt look remotely anything like the motor city Cobra. Its actually quite embarassing when people compare PWILL with Hearns, its like comparing a hyundai with a ferrari.

                Prior to Saturday, he was affectionately called Bum Bum Rios, he gets a decent win and now he's a world beater. NSB is home to the most fair weather fans on the net.

                    May thats the reason why you hating? Rios is a solid fighter regardless if he fights Pacquiao or not.
