    Yeah seriously, I consider myself a Bam Bam fan (he grew on me) and it pisses me off when people around here talk like he's some D grade bum. No he may not be the most skilled boxer (obviously), but he brings it and is willing to fight anybody. He's entertaining as f**k and has carved out a really nice career for himself. 33-2 with 24 KOs, has headlined several of his own HBO cards, was a challenger in a PPV card, and his only 2 losses (officially anyway) were to Manny Pacquiao & Mike Alvarado.

    He's come farther than a lot of dudes in the sport of boxing.

      Just remember that train of thought when Brook puts a beating on him.

          Why would they offer Rios a fight if they don't want to fight?

            Given that Maidana weights 400 lbs and Thurman is fighting in July this is a damn fine fight.

            Brook should win quite easily though.

                I'm a Rios fan but the blueprint is already out there to beat him, i.e. boxing and movement. Also Rios is not that good at 147. I think Brook has better wins at 147 (vs. Porter).

                I like Rios but he's simply really not that good. I'll still follow his career though. I love watching him fight.

                  Rios gets his ears boxed off. I like Rios but Brook makes him look bad.

                      I agree with a lot of what Rios said of Brook and his opponents. While I think Khan's ducking of Brook is shamefull, I found it very ironic of Hearn to be criticising Khan's opponents with Brook sat next to him.

                      Yeah Khan ducked Brook, looked terrible against Algieri and doesn't deserve a Floyd fight, he still has the better resume and fights the better opposition. Khan boxed Algieri and Alexander in his last two while Brook had Frankie Gavin and Jo Jo Dan. Brook mentions and calls out names but rarely/never goes ahead with it, even Rios will be seen as an easy touch but better than his recent opposition.

                      Porter being the only name on your record doesn't give you much room to talk ****.
