    you have it all figured out by seeing 2 digits of a number. maybe im in my 50's and # 71 was my high school football number. or maybe i'm in my 30s and 71 was my football number
    19 does that mean you are not quite 20 yet? or is that how many months you have been a boxing fan?

    Margarito had a cult following.. Certain boxers get PPV's due to skills and one in particular runs his mouth so much that people want to see what the fuss is about... He's still boring as ****! :rofl

    Gatti got alot of love.. And he wasn't very skilled! He was a big draw in the east coast.

    No Sir. You're spot on first time; I'm 20 in June. As for how long I've been involved with the sport? I started Boxing at 13, got to County level; and I've been teaching kids to Box for 6 months now.

    I'm doing okay.

    Right now, at 135, no one beats him. No one.

    good to hear.

    but to say the ghost knocks out rios is just ignorant.....
    he has 1 KO in 3 years and barley a 50% ko ratio ...its obvious you dislike rios because of his shitty attitude

    I'm not a fan or Rios, and I'm not a fan of his attitude either; you're correct.
    I'm also not stupid enough to base a prediction on my dislike of someone, that's one way to end up looking stupid. I actually agree with Slugger (god:patsch) Rios beats Broner in my mind; he's too big and too strong, won't get discouraged and will impose himself sooner or later.

    Guererro is different, I think he'll have more pop in his punches at 140lbs (Where I assume this fight will eventually take place) and the legs to execute the matador-esque sort of game plan.

    Rios takes punches, his defense is poor. Guererro is intelligent enough to take a half step backwards off to an angle and walk Rios onto punches. Doesn't matter how tough you are, if you eat too many of them then you're in trouble.

    JMM out-points Rios...but Guererro makes to many mistakes and get blasted late. See Rios vs Acosta.

    Rios is a glorified tough guy who'd get his ass handed to him when he actually fights someone his own size.

    You're such an idiot. You realize to be 'highly overrated' means you are supposedly rated extremely high to begin with. He isn't, nor is hyped that much. No one calls him the second coming, or act as if he's unbeatable. So what's the point of this? Your last sentance says it all about you.

    Idiots like you call guys overrated because of what people on a message board say, or because you hate their promoter. You have the mentality of a spoiled teen age girl. :roll:

    Rios is an exciting up and comer looking to make a name. ****heads like you are whats wrong with fans.
