    If Brandon Rios can still make 140, he stops Terrance Crawford

    Crawford was there watching the fight live. I bet he thought to himself, no way I'm fighting Rios. Brandon looks great motivated. I don't think Crawford can outbox him for 12 rounds. Rios will eventually catch him.

    Rios can't make 140. He loses to Crawford at 140.


    147 Rios beats Crawford though.

      Rios was 160+ pounds on the unofficial scale tonight from what I recall.

      Don't think we ever see him back at '40.

          Rios shouldn't go back down... He was a zombie at 135, drained at 140, 147 seems to be his ideal weight at this point of his career

            Crawford picks him apart with counter shots.

              What a shame if true. Rios vs lucas/Ruslan winner would be ideal.

                Rios is a natural welter. Hes said it himself he cant make 140 anymore.

                  That would intrigue me but I don't see it as being realistic.

                    Rios way too big for him. But the 140 rios loses to Crawford. Why does everyone forget the Abril fight. And hell Alvarado won the rematch by boxing and moving lol.
