    Default How does Rios do against the light welters?

    It seems to me that best opponents for Rios are at light welter, Khan, Bradley, Maidana, Alexander, Ortiz maybe if he comes back down after Berto..

    How does he do against them?

    I think he's a beast at lightweight. Hell of a chin and the power to wreck fighters.

    To me he's like a better version of Maidana, I think I'd make him a favourite against them all apart from Bradley.

    He'd be a nightmare for Amir Khan and would break Alexanders heart for sure.

    I'd love to see him in the mix at 140.

    Rois showed a lot last night. I would love to see him in the mix at 140. But first at 135. JMM against Rois next for sure.

    To answer the question, I think Rois will have some good fights at 140. Not sure if he will win any of them. MM could be a classic. Two bulls!!! But Rois showed he could get hit and get hit often.

    Bradley is just in his own class but Rois will give him a fight. At least better then Alexander.

    Khan? If Khan gets hit, it could be over. But Khan skills is much superior then Rois,

    Difinitely I would like to see him fight Ortiz. I'm curious to see how their bad blood plays out on fight promo.

    he is still slightly bigger than these guys except Ortiz who comes in at 156 lbs too. both Khan and Maidana walked in at 149 lbs at fight night. Bradley at 148 lbs and Alexander at 152 lbs.
    Fair fights here IMO. He has a punchers chance against all of them.

    If he can make the weight, Rios should stay at lightweight. His options include JMM, Soto, Antillon and Demarco etc.

    I think he beats them all except JMM. Robert Guerrero would be a great fight too

    He is a monster. Reminds me of a combination of LaMotta and Cotto.
