Who is better in these categories? Power Chin Accuracy Handspeed Stamina Defence. Here is my working out. Power: for me goes to maidana just. Chin: for me again edges to maidana Handspeed: I'd give this to rios. Accuracy: close but maybe rios Defence: both get to much but I'd go with maidana Stamina: that is very close again but I would have to edge it to maidana again as he has gone 12 rounds with better people. So I have it 4-2 to maidana and now to who I would pick to win if they boxed now at welter. Maidana tko10 could be points in a war
Some people will answer this with rose tinted glasses of the Rios vs. Acosta/Antillon fights. Rios bests him in chin alone. Nothing else. Maidana easily carries the edge in each of those categories/traits listed, with handspeed being debatable due to the nature of Rios' shots being much shorter and inside.
Rios sucks. The way people talk about him on here you would think he's actually good. He's a punching bag who's done nothing of any note recently besides beating "Mile High" Mike Alvarado who spent the majority of his training camp in his local neighborhood meth lab.
Rios is trained by Roberto Garcia so that's suppose to mean he is good, I dont see it. Abril pretty much laid the blueprint
