    His hands are heavy, his chin is stupid, and I'm not sure anyone in that division can stand up to his pressure. He reminds of Margaritto with legit power, dude is a monster bottom line.

    technically underrated, cuts the ring pretty damn well and is an accurate hitter. his punches aren't nearly as wild as they're made out to be.

    Rios needs to move up to get himself ready for Ortiz. He's fighting guys too small for him now IMO since he's still coming in the ring as a LMW pretty much.

    I'm a fan. Hes like a better version of Margarito who blocks more punches.

    Can't wait to see him at 140.

    Not sold on Rios yet. I think he gets swallowed up if he moves to 140 probably why he continues to drain himself down for a size advantage.

    I think he ****s up the 140 guys too, assuming he carries his power up with him. He's a classic pressure fighter and would be a problem for anyone at 140.

    He named his son after MAB, and now Marco might fight him. Might b the right way for Marco to go out, if he must keep fighting.

    Rios is a beast, he might not be around long because of his style but it's going to be a fun ride.

    Rios would have trouble at 140 with guys like Bradley and Khan, Maidana would school him to with his boxing ability. rios has the power at lightweight but not the power at jww. He's tough no doubt about it but defense is not his strong suit. I'm not even sure he gets past Marquez. and guerrero would school Rios make no mistake about it.

    Good assessment. At this current stage in Rios career I agree with you.

    But remember he is still a young Kid and his body has not completely Matured... if he were to move up to 140 in a couple of fight, his strenght could get better as he is Draining himself a lot to make weight...

    Bit right now rios is in a good time in his career and should not be rushed... he will only get better. and could be mixing it up at 140 very soon.

    He cleans out 135 I'm pretty sure but JMM would be a toss up. at 140 he would have a good chance of beating Alexander, Bradley, Maidana. Mathysse and Khan would be tough. Although I could see Rios vs Khan play out like the Acosta fight.
