Look how well the Donaire-Mares negotiations are going. I think if TR/GBP manage to make one fight every couple of years that's the best we can hope for.
Who the hell can Rios fight now other than rematching Alvarado. GBP just signed Lamont Peterson so they've got almost all the top fighters signed up. Rios was all set for a huge payday against Manny till the KTFO, now he might not even make as much as he would have made from that fight in the rest of his career. After Alvarado who can he fight? Judah?
I'm just hoping boxing fans will start clamoring for Rios vs D. Garcia, Matthysse, et al, and Arum gets his head out his ass and makes these fights. One thing I do like about Brandon Rios is his confidence and attitude in the ring and the fact that the little SOB brings it. Rios deserves to fight the best, and us fans should get to see it.
Fighters I dislike in priority and order therefore want to see beat even by the fighter below them.
Broner
Garcia (mainly because of his dad)
Rios
Judah
Khan
Hope Matthysse wipes them all out.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
To say Rios is a Twat is to unfairly besmirch vaginas everywhere.
It does seem like the Jr. Welterweight (140) division is loaded with assholes, toss that clown Alexander in the mix as well. I can't stand Alexander, Khan, Broner or Judah.
Matthysse, D. Garcia, and Rios are the class of that division, I could care less what the rest do.
BTW, I don't dislike Rios that much, mainly because the little SOB can fight, and he usually backs up what he says he'll do.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I think Arum could care less about the fans. It's looking like Arum is shut out at Showtime however and there aren't many HBO-worthy fights Arum can make for Rios without putting him in with welterweights. It would be much better if Arum did deals with GBP but we'll probably see him try to sell Bradley-Rios after the Alvarado rematch. I actually wouldn't mind seeing that fight, I wonder if Bradley would take it?
lol... what i hear is people who dislike Garcia and watch becuz they want him to lose... that usually means ur pretty damn good. Like or dislike Garcia's dad, he tells it like it is...if u listen to him, he's ur typical PR talking smack..but it's all true.
Lucas Mattysse is good..but where did he become the guy to beat? when he lost to Zab?...when he lost to Alexander? what has he done for people anywhere to say"he's feared"... can he beat Rios? I think Zab can beat Rios, and i said that 6 months ago... Rios has a flaw..he can't fight boxers and you'll see that... if u box Rios, he loses. Mateysse is a boxer puncher..fun to watch type of guy... he'll mix it up with Rios and it'll be a very competitive fight..why?,cuz both can be hit and both mix it up... Rios has no business moving up to 140. Alvarado was beating Rios and who is Alvarado?
Now Garcia's in the mix... if u put Mattesse in with Garcia's punching power, count him out... no problem..no doubt. LM get's ko'ed in 7.
Put Rios in with Danny Garcia... i say"r u crazy"... Garcia will kill Rios. Rios is a true 140 pounder, mthr fker hits like a ton... he's not slugging it out with u, he's knocking u the fk out. true one punch power. Robert Garcia, Rios trainer, is lying to u... saying Mattysse would be a harder fighter for Rios...Robert knows he can't control Rios ,so he has to steer him..so he's steering him away from Garcia. LISTEN WHEN I TELL U..if Rios fights Garcia... it's over in three.
Garcia hits MUCH harder, Garcia has been in with better opposition, Garcia is a true 140 pound-er, Garcia is trained better by his dad..Garcia is just a better fighter... vs Rios, a true 135 pound-er or less, needs an accumulation of punches to win, can be hit, does his own thing and can't really be trained,...can be lazy at times... bet the house on Garcia over Rios by ko... LM vs Rios is more of a pick em fight, but i lean to LM in a late,late ko..or decision.
You are either Puerto Rican, Big Garcia fan or both. Better opposition ? A washed up EM 2 times and a glass jawed Kahn. Holt was 2 & 2 in last 4 fights entering the Garcia match vs opponents on downslide. Campbell was coming off two straight losses vs Walter Estrada & victor Ortiz, plus a NC vs T. Bradley entering thier match. So this is your basis of better competition and better power? How ironic that after Matthysse destroys Dallas with an upcoming fight vs a common opponent in Zab a mystery injury arises.
Garcia won 25 (KO 16) vs Matthysse won 33 (KO 31) how does this tell the story that Garcia hits MUCH harder. Who has Garcia KO'd that has never been KO'd ? Matthysse KO'd Soto who had never been stopped. Please post facts ....... Lers see your intelligent come back or sheer nuttin .......
Rios vs Garcia is a coin toss as we do not know Garcia's heart as he has not fought anyone with power to be in any danger (same cherry picked opponents pattern of opponents/ fighter with names with flat tires like Pac & Canelo's resumes). Rios will atleast take him to corners he has never beem. Matthysse will destroy both, but Garcia in lesser rounds.
I am guessing Garcia ( or instructed by promoter) pulled out because he probably thought the Zab fight would be an easy fight until Dickhead Dad pissed off Zab and then saw Matthysse destroy Dallas. Zab survived and got a gift decision. Too soon for Garcia to lose everyhing to an insignificant Zab . Garcia camp saw to give it more time and ice an irate Zab that also earned more momentum with Matthysse showing.
*** Garcia's dad, he tells it like it is...if u listen to him, he's ur typical PR talking smack: Yeah until a Mexican comes in to shut that typical PR big mouth with no substance in embarrasing fashion......... That is why I would love to see Rios put a beating on him.
Mexico vs PR , love the rivalry that is lopsided ............ in favor of Mexico !

Garcia maybe...
Lucas, no way in hell... Lucas sparks him out cold.
Im not overly impressed by fighters like Brandon Rios. He sounds very uneducated when he opens his mouth and his headfirst style doesn't do much for me. He's winning mainly due to his youth and chin but dude is a few fights away from becoming a vegetable.. knock on wood..
Im not so sure about Garcia right now but Mythesse I think beats him..
And dont count out Mike Alvarado cuz I think he might beat Rios as well..
I think some folks are amused by Rios but I think he's a stupid person and stupid fighter with only balls to show for. Some say that he's a funny guy but I find myself cringing everytime he speaks.. He's like those wannabe cholos in middle school who sounds stupid as fuck when they speak.
There was a video on youtube awhile back that showed him getting fucked up by a " civilian " lol after acting hard at some kinda party...
Fuck Brandon Rios I hope to see someone beating the dogshit out of him..
I don't have a problem with Rios, yeah he's a loudmouthed punk, and I suspect he might be into a little gang activity, but he's fun to watch fight. Being from Texas, i'm used to being around bad hombres like Rios, who was born in Lubbock, Texas. Once you get past the cockiness & mouth, they're usually pretty good dudes.( Lubbock, Texas is best seen in your rear-view mirror, as you're leaving town)
I'd just like to see Rios fight both D. Garcia & Lucas Matthysse and see who's the best man. The results might be surprising. Matthysse has to be the odds on favorite right now. Mainly because of his power, 31 of his 35 fights have ended in KO, but I wouldn't count Rios or Garcia out.
