Good question. Garcia probably hits hard enough to hurt Rios with a shot like that in-between exchanges. Then again, Rios is more durable than both of them. We have yet to see Garcia in a war, I'd like to see it. I think I might favor Rios to wear him down after eating hard counters for a bit.
It's the fight to make at 140lbs. Rios' constant pressure would be too much for Garcia who would be forced to exclusively fight off the back foot. Rios stops him.
this is what is bad about boxing. The promoters prevent us from seeing the best fights. Rios vs. Garcia would be great. Probably won't happen. I don't think Garcia is that great a fighter, but he is strong and with a guy like Rios he will not back off and his left hook will land and could stop Rios. It is a good fight. I have a hard time seeing Rio's win that one. I give Garcia credit for having a very good left hook. Tonight? He won and it is good,
Either fight would be fantastic. FOTY kind of stuff. The reason why I say Rios is because he has the much bigger following. So in turn, it would be a bigger fight.
