    This is a fight id love to see and can't see it going the distance. I think maidana beats the ****** even though he struggled w/morales. Not trying to make excuses but he might underestimated while morales knew it could be his last chance on the big stage if he lost badly

    Any combination of Maidana, Rios and Matthysse would be a sure-fire FOTY contender.

    Right now, I'm going with Rios. I think he's the better combination puncher and has some nice, subtle movements that could throw Maidana off.

    Maidana would crush Rios.

    I think Maidana's chin is more vulnerable than Rios' and he's a lesser boxer. It would be a fun fight but Rios' has more tools than a winging overhand and it would show after a few.

    Rios would destroy Maidana, too good for him, he has skill, defense and power, Maidana just has power
