How Many Top Welterweights Can Rios Beat?

[Lords]

Rios loses to them all. Paulie would be to active in the fight and win a decision. Rios isn't a smart enough boxer to succeed at a high level. that brawler coming foward style won't work.

[brick wall]

this kind of threads are very predictable.

floyd fans will say rios loses to any welterweight including paulie fcuking malignaggi.

pac fans on the other hand will say he beats most of them.

[Holywarrior]

yes maybe he would,, but jmm is at the stage where any young tiger could take him out, and i think rios would be able to land on him,,,

I think it would look alot like diaz-jmm, except now jmm is older, and rios is much more dangerous than diaz..
Jmm would be the heavy favorite but stranger things have happened in boxing


Rios-ruslan would also be a great scrap

Diaz got stopped by Marquez and Diaz is light years faster than Rios. Light years.

Ruslan isn't a welterweight

Ruslan isn't a welterweight

yeah but rios is much bigger and stronger than diaz,, and both come straight forward, only difference like you said is diaz is much faster, but a lighter puncher, and rios alittle slower but fast enough to find jmm, plus he has a great chin, and is alot more physical than diaz,,,

I know ruslan isnt a welter, but he could move up or rios down to make the fight,, I think that is one of the best action fights to make

[way2strong]

marquez should have fought rios back at 135...both guys were ranked at the top of the division and both guys were champions...

marquez ducked him

Rios is not a little slower. Rios last Saturday may have been the slowest welterweight I've ever seen in a main event, honestly.

Then you have never seen baldomir


plus rios isnt that slow but compared to manny, anyone looks slow, and jmm is not a very fast mover, he basically stands there and looks for you to engage so he can counter you,, He isnt going to be boxing off the back foot like manny did

I've seen Baldomir plenty. He gave Forrest a better fight than Rios could've even dreamed of.

Rios looked slow against Abril, that English lad, against Alvarado, and especially against Manny.

Marquez is faster and hits harder than all of them. It'd be fun like I said because Rios is a legitimate punching bag at this weight.

Source for this?

[Riley Freeman]

he can beat these guys

Kell Brook
Robert Guerrero
Keith Thurman
Paulie Malignaggi

Thurman would put that dude to sleep.
