    I think Right know both these guys are already the elite in their divisions.. But they havent even reached theri peaks or potential yet.... Who will end up being regarded as the more accomplished fighter when there careers are over?

    Although im unsure about who will eventually be the better fighter.... Id be comfortable putting in Rios with anyone in his division right now..... With Alvarez i would wait another year before taking on the top dogs at welter and JM.

    Its way to early to say either guy is an elite in their division.

    I'm not much on Rios...think Alvarez is on the fast track to ginger super-stardom though.

    Well to be on the safe side i wouldnt put Alvarez in with Cotto,Angulo.Berto yet although those are winnable fights even now.

    As for Rios if i was his manger/promoter id be comfortable putting him in with anyone.. I think he beats any lw outside of Marquez.

    Alavrez has some great potentital and at 20 already shows great skills and strengths when he fully matures and reaches his peak he will be un stoppable.

    Not only that he can be the next big cash cow!

    They are both over hyped, but Rios is a certified hype job until he meets world class opponents.

    Saul seems to be legit. And he's got everything he needs to cross-over to mainstream. He'll get the more lucrative fights eventually. He's also got the skills to reach P4P stardom.

    Rios is a buffoon. He'll get his whooping as soon as he steps up to fight the upper-tier fighters. I'd like to see him fight Katsidis.

    Anthony Peterson was in everyones top 10 and Rios dominated him,he was also the underdog going in.

    both are overrated, but Alvarez gets more exposure cause of Oscar.

    maybe rios has a better shot, cause Alvarez is slow.
