    Many will argue he hasn't faced anybody yet. But much like Donaire when he popped up in P4P talks w/o many great wins, sometimes what you see in a fighter is so rare you just know what direction he is going. I don't see any kinks preventing Rios from soaring high on the P4P list.

    Pros -

    Warrior
    Heart
    Throws with both hands
    Chin
    Momentum
    Underrated timing and precision
    Power
    Turns over punches
    Inside Fighting/Uppercuts
    Good balance

    Hugely underrated ring awareness. He knows when he needs to step on the gas to turbo better than any young fighter today

    Cons -

    Flinstone Costume
    Ele Sedbach

    He's not even top 15.

    But he probably will be one day. Just needs more quality wins.

    If he was from the UK he would be #3 P4P ?

    Hes not in the Mayweather,Pac,Martinez,JMM,Donaire category

    Just Yet. I like him but hes only 24 and hasnt fully developed into a top 5 P4P fighter yet, Give it time and he will eventually get there.

    And people should stop hating on Ellie Seckbach, he puts out some good videos

    His defense looks very weak to me.

    He gets hit waaaay too often to be considered top-anything right now. However, he's tough, punches hard, and really brings it, so wit the right trainer he could go far. With the wrong trainer, he's just another Paul Williams.

    No, of course he wouldn't. He'd still be outside the top 15 because he wouldn't have recorded enough quality wins to crack it.

    I love Ellie and his passion for boxing. Just playing on that.
    I actually think it is great Rios and Garcia let him have access like they do.
    Dope team all around.

    He is better than Mayweather at this time. Where is Mayweather p4p currently ?

    He's not there yet but a great win or two against the likes of Robert Guerrero, Miguel Vazquez, Antonio DeMarco, Humberto Soto or Jorge Linares he could find his way into the top 10.

    I leave out Marquez cause I think he retire after the Pacquiao fight win or lose or goes to 140.

    Ideally if he fought and beat Soto and Guerrero he'd make it into the top 10.

    Since Mayweather has signed to fight Ortiz, ive put him back into my P4P. I have him as number 2.

    No. May very well have the potential to do so, and the names are floating around his fighting weight for him to make that jump but of course not. As SportsLeader says not top 15...probably not top 20. I see only good things for the kid but as of now nope, hes behind his rival Vicious Victor.

    I'm a big Rios fan but no where near the top 5. Rios a G for sure, but not G enough for Brone Brones. That is all.
