    Without a title to dangle in front of his potential opponent, no one is jumping at the chance to get in the ring with aggressive and hard hitting Rios.

    With his stuggle to make the required 135 weight for his bout with Murray. Rios lost his WBC lightweight title. Many now believe the failure to weigh in at 135 was not Rios' fault but was instead the error of weigh officials moving and mishandling of the weigh in scales.

    It seems that no one in the top tier of 135 wants to risk a bout with Rios. This and all the other issues in the division may be the main reason that Rios makes the move to 140.

    Sounds like **** weak excuses, but even if that's the case he looked ****ing ghastly and should move to 140lbs immediately.

    It may sound that way but Rios weighed in at the same weight after 30 minutes of exercise in a sauna. He perspired porfusely yet he weighed in exactly at the exact same weight. That is just not possible.

    Avalardo or Maidana would be at 140.

    Going into weigh ins as a ghost won't help prolong his career.

    He needs to move up for his body.

    Rios-Maidana would be ****ing awesome.

    There are huge fights at 140lbs for him, he doesn't need to stay around at 135lbs and wait for his body to chip in and lose for him. I think he'd knock Khan the **** out.

    Wants to get his egg shell cracked and destroyed?

    I like Kevin, but Rios is so so wrong for him. But then again, the weight might just T/KO Rios at the weigh in.

    I thought Rios said he'd only stay at 135 for Gamboa though?

    Just feed Rios to JUAN MANUEL "DINAMITA" MARQUEZ to end his suffering.
