1) Floyd Mayweather 2) Manny Pacquiao 3) Sergio Martinez 4) JMM 5) Bradon Rios ( Replacing Nonito ) Rios KO10 Acosta ( KO of the year up to this moment ) What a joke, The Filipino Flash gets topped in 1 week. His 15 minutes of fame are over. I also believe this has a huge chance of being fight of the year. I think it was better than JMM/Katsidis but topped by Khan/Maidana (FOTY 2010) Also, What do the ChinCheckers think of Acosta ( he got dropped by a jab, and was hurt for about 30 seconds after that )
Nah, Donaire is a much, much better fighter. Leagues ahead of Rios. Acosta is good but Rios was getting schooled. Donaire KTFO'd mother****ing Fernando Montiel in 2 rounds. Also Rios will burn out by the time he's 27-28, if he ever reaches that level. It may sound like hating, but it's just what I feel. I give him huge credit for winning tonight. That mother****er has a hell of a chin.
Martinez and Donaire hit lucky shots against overrated opponents asking to get hit. Rios systematically broke down a belt holder. Also Rios' last 9 fights have all been knockouts (I'm counting Peterson's exit as one since he was obviously looking for a way out). Far more impressive than Donaire who had to get a decision against the lowly Concepcion.
He already KTFO Darchinyan as a 7/1 underdog. KO Of The Year and Upset Of The Year. And this was when Vic was killing people left, right and centre.
If Donaire moved up to 135 TODAY he'd spark Rios. Far too much skill. As for Acosta's chin, you'd have to understand he was worn out by the time he got dropped. Plus he was never on ***** street, even on the last KD that got Rios the KO, he looked like he knew what was going on, so his chin is still very good. It still amazes me how Khan didn't hit the canvas while being on ***** street for a moment and getting hit by bombs from Maidana, who is equivalent to Rios on PEDs + Plaster in terms of power.
