I'm inclined to agree, which is why if the fight were to happen, it would have to be now. But Marquez has been a great champion. Rios isn't worthy of a shot to dethrone him. And I remember the Diaz fight vividly. Marquez had to scratch and claw his way back into that fight. In a similar position, Rios might not let him off the hook.
Rios is headed for an Alvarado rematch. But to say he ain't worthy is just plain stupid. He's a worthy opponent to either Marquez or Pacquiao
