Rios is a more polished, harder hitting version of Maidana.

    Lol I think its funny how these pactrolls say Rios is the harder hitting of the 2 as if they been hit by both them self's. Maidana is a slugger, but has a better jab and foot work over Rios. Rios excelles in the pocket, but move around a little and he comes at you looking like a punching bag. No upper movement, no latteral movements etc.

    Sorry pactrolls, but I would have to favor chino over Rios. Broner alone is better then any one Rios has beat. Resume comparison also favors maidana.

    Theres a video where Robert says chino was his hardest puncher at the moment.

    maidana wouldn't be able to hurt a iron chinned rios and maidana can not box for **** so it only means he will go straight forward against rios and rios LOVES that

    maidana is overrated couldn't hurt khan,kotel,shot morales,alexander

    rios would stop him late this is a FACT!

    FACT is that maidana has never faced anyone with a chin like rios maidana stoppage is out of the question that is one thing WE ALL CAN AGREE WITH

    rios is too much man if a shot morales caused rios hell imagine a prime rios:hi:

    So no one?

    Morales caused Maidana trouble by outboxing him not something Rios does.

    Since moving up from light weight Rios has not done a whole lot.

    Rios doesn't punch harder then Maidana, he's a better inside fighter, but punching power is less.

    Mayweather CLEARY beat Maidana in both fights.

    You saw what Pacman did to Rios. Mayweather is just as fast, if not faster than Pacquiao. Rios would get hit all night. The first Mayweather/Maidana fight was Floyd "fighting for the fans". He wouldn't do it again against another brawler.

    My thoughts on this:

    Maidana is the SLIGHTLY better overall fighter, I think he is a little more versatile and would have a better resume than Rios if they fought a bunch of the same guys...

    However, head to head I would favour Rios. Style wise Maidana is the sort of battle that he looks for, and his chin and power would grind out a victory.

    Would love to see it though...nothing is guaranteed with these two unpredictable pressure fighters.
