Rios' antics go beyond boxing, good taste

Hes just running on in the lip like a yelping dog when the family car pulls up. Some guys find acting the ass just draws more attention and it helps if its natural to them. Which in his case I think it is. Personally I dont care for it, looks desperate and clownish but whateva.

I like his fighting style...or approach in the ring. Really he should enjoy the ride and he'll make a lot of noise while he lasts because it'll go as long as his punch resistance holds up.

I really rarely care how a fighter behaves outside the ring unless it affects his perfromance.

Rios is clearly a jerk. But so were Jack Blackburn and Sandy Saddler and Roberto Duran and Larry Holmes and Bobby Chacon and yet each of them brought me thrills in the ring.

Would I prefer that everyone be Alexis Arguello or Ray Mancini or Matthew Saad Muhammad? Sure. But that's not the way the world is.

We 3 Kings are living in the Age of Kaliyuga, thats the way low-life boors talk now. Just compare Tyson : I'll eat your children, to Marciano: always respectful and well spoken.
