Rios is as strong as a bull, but at 154, he loses a wide decision. All he can do is hope that his pressure and toughness remind him of Margarito I, other than that, he'd outgunned and would take a beating. If Alvarado outboxed him with the most basic lateral movement, what does Cotto do with better lateral movement and speed at a higher weight class?
rios doesn't apply the same amount of pressure as margarito, that could be due to the extra weight of moving up, imagine him at 154... he would be even slower
Joke topic but if Rios thought Pacquiao didn't hurt him then you can bet than Cotto will bring the hurt. Rios doesn't deserve anymore big fights, especially against a legend like Cotto.
Waste of a fight. If Cotto-Margarito II taught us anything it was that Cotto can turn an overly agressive opponent and box safely on the outside by clinching/pushing off. He doesn't have Manny's unorthodox footwork but he doesn't need it. Rios will get clobbered regardless.
