    How do you rate Brandon Rios?

    I often think Brandon Rios is underrated as a fighter.
    The Ring magazine doesn't rate him in the top 10 at WW or LWW
    The WBC, IBF & WBO don't even place him in their top 15 in either division, despite the fact that he has beaten guys who they rank higher.

      Below Richard Abril

      Above Anthony Peterson



      Struggles against boxers

      Good inside fighter

      Cast iron chin

      Very good stamina

      Breakout win was vs Peterson In which he was an underdog

      Won't ever be the world champ

      Won't be a belt holder in foreseeable future. 147 too stacked

      Has discipline problems outside ring.

        He's fun to watch but he's also a punching bag.

          C+

          B+ on the best night of his life.

          Gets beat by anyone who even sniffs elite status.

            He a B+ fighter, who will lose to any A level boxer.

            I dont see him losing to anyone slugger out their at 147.

            People like to call him a punching bag cause he does get hit but like 90% of the shots he catches on the gloves that his style and it works for him people act like theirs only one style to not get hit and thats straight up make em miss, hes not fast enough for that so he got his own thing going, Hell even Andre Ward who people respect as one of the top elite pure boxers here even acknowledges that about rios.

            Rios inside game is not match by anyone in the sport right now.
