    People just need to face the facts and get real about this. Brook is untested and nothing special.

    Both fighter have taken a lot of punishment over the years, but Rios can punch, will keep the pressure on Bradley all night, so I give him a chance. I can't pick a winner, it just all depends on whose chin lasts longer and we all knock that Rios can take a punch..............

    People make all these assumptions and talk about boxers ducking and being afraid and it is juvenile to think that way. These men did not get where they are by being afraid or ducking anyone. Rios would fight a bi-polar grisly bear if Robert Garcia or Cameron Dunkin made the fight and the money was right. It has nothing to do with fear or ducking. It always has to do with the money. Rios offered to fight Brook for any amount but Garcia and Dunkin said no because they wanted to get paid more. It is always about the money.

    I agree Rios vs Bradley is 50/50. Brook can knock them out both though.

    agreed he would have ko'd brook, and bradley would have definitely outpointed brook, but even though Bradley is without Diaz I still favor him 70/30 at least. I want Rios to win by Ko.

    pfffffffft!! This thread is both hilarious AND embarrassing at the same time.

    How the f*ck does Rios KO Brook? Before the Porter fight, EXACTLY the same prediction was made (on this troll forum) and he made you all look ridiculously stupid.

    Brook beats Rios and Bradley, no problem.

    Educate yourselves

    Brook can beat Rios, but Bradley would beat him clearly. Who has Brook fought for you to think he beats Bradley no problem lmfao, he has one good win Porter who is basically a poor man's bradley with more power. He has far less skill than Bradley.

    I'm simply presenting the same argument reversed. If Rios and Bradley beat Brook...why and how? Brooks win over Porter shouldn't be discredited as BEFORE his fight with Brook, a vast majority would have said Porter beats Bradley.

    Brook would beat Rios no problem. On second thoughts, you are right, Bradley would give Brook problems but Kell still comes out on top IMO.

    Bradley vs Brook should be made.

    Yes I had Porter beating Brook myself, but the fact that all brook fans said Porter lost to Julio Diaz should be taken in count. Also the fact that Brook was able to deal with Porter's rugby like tactics where Porter leaps in and then starts throwing punches should be kept in mind. Rios and Porter fight nothing alike at all, they have completely different type of pressure. Rios' pressure is far closer to Jones where most had Jones winning in the 1st fight.

    Brook has really done nothing in his career at all to say he beats Bradley, he fought one good opponent in Porter and the rest of his opponetns have been 100% bums. Bradley outpoints him.

    Rios matches up better with Bradley than the majority of everybody else in the top 10 at WW and perhaps more, despite Bradley being an elite WW. That said, Bradley still will defeat Rios in a likely great fight. Brook would have handled Rios easier than you will see Bradley do.
