Brandon Rios is still a bum

[PiXelElite]

Seriously man, watch boxing, that's all I can say, besides both being aggressive fighters there is a big distinction between the two which I've already pointed out.

yeah.. their styles are so different, is like rios is on another level.. sure... Ill give him a couple more fights until he gets KO'd... kid thinks ballz win fights... watch while his brains are turned into mush... No Defense.

[John Barron]

No comparison at all, they do not fight the same. I also like how this gets forgotten, or how before the Abril fight he struggled with Murray, further proof that Rios should have moved up a long time ago.

both outboxed and smothered maidana and rios inside. both fighters lost fair and square. rios got easily outboxed and beaten up by lesser opponents and clearly lost to one but you're saying he'll never lose to alexander because?

Realest thread I ever post in.

Rios most likely beats Maidana but you never know Maidana can punch, but how you come to the conclusion that Rios def beats Devon is beyond me. What has Rios done thus far in his career to make anyone think he beats someone like Devon. He is a big kid, fast, and can box...I don't see it

Don't mind him... he just jumped in on the Rios Gravy Train

Rios is not a bum. He's a really tough brawler with a hard chin.

Granted, he's awfully limited and would probably get Margaritoed against the likes of Mosley or any other good boxer/hard puncher that has a good chin and who doesn't wear down.

But so what? Not everyone can be the greatest fighter who ever lived. He gives exciting wars.

His style is god awful. He'll get KOd soon enough.

Yeah, god awfully entertaining

Wow...Half of u think he's p4p based off of win over mike alvarado and the other half think he's a bum with no skills and ignore his inside fighting and solid wins. I'm beginning to truly believe majority of boxing fans are slightly ******ed and have no perspective.

Maybe I've missed it, but I haven't seen anyone call Rios a P4P fighter or an ATG.

I can't stand Rios's big mouth, but the action he provides is undeniable. I actually enjoy seeing him fight, regardless of how one-dimensional he may seem. His will and chin is definitely something to appreciate. Rios is not a bum, the only top 140lb fighter I'd outright favor over him is Matthysse. Marquez/Garcia/Khan are 50-50 fights. He still has time to develop his skill-set, but his intangibles make him a force.

He's not the best boxer in the world but he has heart, determination, he always gives it his all and has been involved in some great fights.

He's a million miles away from being a bum. Dumb thread show some respect.

Boxing fans crack me up some most likely out of shape nobody calling a gutsy entertaining fighter who has earned more in one night than they will in 10 years a bum.

Who's the real bum here?

[Evil Abed]

Nobody's this ******.

TS is trolling for reactions. He's getting off on it. He might not like Rios. But he doesn't feel he's a bum.

Don't worry TS I understand.

Rios wont get full credit until he beats a "pure boxer/slick boxer"
