    Rios wasn't suitable for Pac but that was more of a tune up after being Ko'ed Brook should be stepping up in class

    I should re phrase that. The combination of his size and skill set dictate that WW is not the best weight class for him. He's only fighting at WW because he's undisciplined and can't make the lower weights. LW is probably his ideal weight class. He's not much a defensive fighter and can't overpower guys at WW.

    A dedicated and determined Rios will get to and hurt Brook, and could possibly stop him, I like Brook, but he was hurt by a grazing Senchenko overhand to the temple, Rios' favorite punch.

    realistically, none of the top welterweights are likely to come to the Uk for a fight, partially as they don't want to lose, and they probably won't get paid much money for it.

    as such chavez or rios is probably the biggest names matchroom can get to Sheffield. Not great, but better than jojoDan and Frankie gavin

    Brook will win. If he beat porter he will beat rios.

    Brook - Rios
    Maidana - Thurman
    Chaves - Sadam Ali
    Bradley - Porter

    these are the fights I want to see. Khan can ask Frampton to move up and fight him for all I care.

    I find it pretty comical that Brook and Khan have been walking around claiming they are at the top of welterweight division yet they pick opponents that Pacquiao absolutely annihilated. Khan going with Algieri, who looked like an amateur vs Pacman and Brook looking at Rios? Who got destroyed by Pac. These guys didn't win a round vs Pac.

    What this shows is how fierce the ducking game is these days. Khan and Book should be facing guys like Bradley, thurman, Porter... Rios and Algieri are no jokes but if these two toads think they can get in the ring with Pac or Floyd, grow ballz and face more dangerous opponents.
