Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Promises 'Big Fight' Next For Brandon Rios

[rocktx]

Big fights? WTF... Just cause he beat sorry a__ washed up Alvarado?

How bout a Diego Chaves rematch. Lets start there and then see what fights Rios should get. That DQ was very questionable (Arum politics most likely), and the way Rios was crying to the ref all night, makes me think thats why he even got the DQ in the first place. He was getting outboxed by Chaves, so I don't see him deserving any bigger fight than that until he shows he can beat him.

Rios is still in that b/c level category himself. He beat up an Alvarado that it's learned besides battling his legal issues, an arrest, he trained two weeks for the fight with Rios to follow to embarrassing defeats to Provo & Marquez. Just the fight before this, Rios behind on scorecards to Chaves, won by DQ. Let's not get crazy and think Rios is ready for the divisions best. He looked like a deer in the headlights with Pacquiao, and when Provo offered him a fight, he him-hawed and stalled. Alvarado is no measuring stick but to say Rios showed up in shape. He should first go prove himself in a rematch with Chaves and treat him the same way as Alvarado. Thurman, Guerrero, Porter, Bradley, Provo, Brook, Maidana or Matthysse, Rios is not ready for. Rios should try guys like Chaves, Alexander, Judah, Berto, Ortiz first. I have no problem cheering on a guy like Rios who comes to fight, but he's never beaten anyone credible, but gets a lot of fan fare & media attention. Too early to think this guy is a division threat yet, and doesn't deserve any big title shot for a while. Alvarado was nothing more than a drunk out of a bar in Denver.

Chavez,Berto, Judah, and Alexander especially Alexander would eat Rios alive. Rios is fat and slow. He would not even touch Devon or Judah for that matter. And Berto would simply batter the hell out of him.

He is C level at the absolute best. His saving grace is his chin. He has no movement whatsoever. Even against crack addicted Alvarado he looked slow and mile very high barely moved!
