    I'm not butthurt, I just disagree with your opinion and state actual points to back it up. Your reasoning of hyping Rios us is simply because he fought and lost to PAC, only reason why.

    Don't forget, Rios had lost to Alvarado the 2nd fight and Rios was getting out boxed prior to landing that shot on Alvarado in the first.

    Brandon has chin and power, which can only take you so far. He admits he is not on PACs or mayweather's level. He knows his place.

    A club fighter with a worlds class mouth , nothing more nothing less , the amount of decisions he was given on the way up when he was clearly beaten is unbelievable.

    Only because he fought Pac. Alvarado beat him and you're not praising him.

    Lost to Madrid.

    Lost clearly to Dominguez.

    Lost to Perez.

    Club fighter with a good promoter and thankfully takes a good shot.

    I think Rios' power is underrated, Chaves thought he was going to slug it out with him but quickly realize he wouldn't go far using that method, which tells me Rios hurt him early worse than One Time. And as far as his losses go, he was outboxed by Abril, but its damn near impossible to look good against Abril, Alvarado made a change halfway through the match and Rios didn't adjust well to it, and wow what a shock he lost to Manny ****in Pacquiao, does anyone but Marquez ever come close to beating him. Rios is lacking in skill, and a series of bad style matchup have shown his obvious technical limitations, but he's a pretty damn good power punching brawler

    Less underrated than Clottey, but still one of the more underappreciated high-profile fighters out there. Not that I think he'll win tonight.

    I think he's a little under rated because people these days think if you are not elite then you are garbage.
