    If Rios moves up and takes on Lamont, who do you see winning this fight?

    Lamont UD.

    He's pretty tough himself. But what seperates him from Rios, is that he has more than one way of fighting. Whatever adversity Rios brings to him, he'll find a way of adjusti'ng. It remains to be seen whether Rios is able to do the same thing.

    Agreed. I'd also like see how Bam Bam's power translates at 140.


    Hopefully the fight with Lamont is less taxing on Rios' onions than the the fight with Anthony was.

    Lamont is one tough guy...
    never gives up

    Would probaly be a pound or two lighter come fight night

    (155-156)

    Rios would be nearer 160...

    Taller... Fast swinging...

    Would be a GREAT fight...

    Rios vs Peterson @ 140
    Rios vs Maidana @ 140

    I wanna see

    Would be a great fight. I think Rios's power and pressure would be too much for Lamont. Ortiz floored him multiple times when they fought and I think Rios would finish him.

    This.

    I think right now, Peterson is a class above Rios, who is too basic and predictable. He only fights one way.
