    I'm thinking why not this fight? I mean bradley wont fight guerrero, wont fight peterson rematch so why not him vs rios at either 140 or 147 pounds? Both are undefeated (yes bradley got a gift vs pac) and it be a good payday for bradley. And bradley likes to stand toe 2 toe in which favors rios. So if this fight was to happen, who wins? I got rios by late tko if theres no clash of heads.

    Bradley UD.

    He doesn't just stand toe to toe, he'll mix it up. In the Peterson fight, he more or less dominated Peterson standing toe to toe, but then adjusted because Peterson is a pretty good body puncher on the inside. So then he proceeded to outbox Peterson. Other factors are, Bradley is pretty dang good defensively, and while he doesn't pack much of a punch he's VERY strong, very bullish.

    I think Bradley outfoxes Rios. Bam Bam is a tough-man fighter. No boxing skills whatsoever.

    Bradley by UD. He hits hard enough to keep fighters humble and beats Rios to the punch. Rios might get a flash knockdown of Bradley or even have him in trouble late, but Bradley too smart, too fast for Rios. Would love to see Bradley-Abril too. Outside of Pacman, Marquez, and Floyd I don't see anyone beating him, but props to Bradley winning any way he can he's a short dude tho he might even be competitive up to 154 he has alot of good challenges vs Mathysse, Rios, Jmm, Pacman, Khan, Peterson 2, Guzman, and even Judah.

    I'd like to see it.

    Like most, I'm inclined to favor Bradley on the cards; however, it would be interesting to see how he deals with Rios' relentless pressure over the course of 12 rounds.

    Bradley can do too many things and is always in tremendous shape. Wide UD with some competitive moments.

    Bradley would win by decision I think. Bradley is the more skilled of the two and thats what will make the difference in the fight.

    Bradley can handle strong come forward fighters such as in the Lamont Peterson fight, and can box both on the front and back foot.

    I don't think either should be undefeated Rios vs Abril is probably just as big a robbery as Bradley vs Pacquaio.

    I agree bradley is clearly the more skilled of the two but i think rios style will force bradley to brawl with him. Bradley is not as slick like Abril in which rios i think can win it. This is an interesting fight and i hope arum who promotes both should really consider this fight.
