"Bam Bam" Rios the real deal at Lightweight

[CFH]

Rios is a tough tough little bastard and he showed some great punches against Antillion. Both men were throwing beautiful combos !

However, Rios is also lucky that aside from Marquez, who is in the twilight of his career and may yet retire after the Pac fight, he is in a relatively weak lightweight division. I mean Robert Guerrero is the only other threat aside from Marquez.

A few years ago if Rios had tried to mix it up with Diego Corrales, Joel Casamayor or Jose Luis Castillo, he would of been just another contender.

Hell, I'd put a prime Juan Lazcano up against Rios.

Corrales - Rios would have been a hell of a fight.

It really could have been. Rios can take a punch.

But, I think Corrales would have got him early to mid with that great left hook of his.
