    Good comparison. I just recently watched that fight too.

    But are either of them yet as good as Taylor and Norris were ?

    I think Gamboa's talent is closer to Taylor's was than Rios is to Norris.

    Idk I just don't like Rios. He's a bully and a thug.

    my only gripe is why did gamboa wait this long to come out with this statement, this fight was brewing for some time now. With this I'm starting lean towards Rios.

    Gamboa pulled one on a lot of people. He let the talks continue and the chatter go around. He saw how Timothy Bradley played his cards, and he got what he wanted. If the money was right he would fight, but I would say he would make the LEAST amount of money for a champion jumping two weight divisions in history.

    I do not think that Rois would make the weight anyway. Almost guaranteed he comes in over. This is what he gets for training with Margarito, being a douchebag, and acting like a thug.

    But again, any publicity is publicity. Look what Margarito did with his career. He is the whipping post
    "Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

    - and I quote from some random guy on the internet

    My dogs talent is closer to Floyd Mayweather's than Rios's is to Norris. I think Gamboa would have whipped ass, shame this is off!
