    It takes more than an "okay" puncher to hurt Rios. Rios has a granite chin, and Alvarado hurt him. He's more than an "okay" puncher.

    Has Rios ever faced a big puncher tho? Apart from Pacquiao who played it safe after Marquez and boxed him for 12 rounds. He was badly hurt and dropped twice against Ortega who wasn't much of a puncher

    Pac is a big puncher and has hurt guys with Iron chins and rios was not fazed by the shots I think its apparent rios has one hell of a chin the amount of clean shots he took from Pac was far to much.

    Diego Chaves, hands down a big puncher, threw everything at Rios and didn't even shake him. Hell, Chaves even said after the fight he was impressed by how well Rios took his shots. And yes, Chaves was trying to unload on Rios who was walking through everything; therefore, Chaves had to start clinching because he wasn't hurting Rios.

    Provo:
    "A fight with him has been one of my dream matchups for some time and I think it will be a great, great fight. "It will be 100% a war! I think that this is the type of fight where one of us will not walk out of the ring on their own two feet.


    Even Provo himself said he could be knocked out

    Boxers say things to hype up the fight. If anything, this fight is a prime killer. I think both men will leave a piece of themselves in the ring. It's that kind of fight.

    Ruslan is one of those guys I never see getting KO'd. Maybe TKO'd though.

    Didn't Roach tell Ruslan during the interval between one of the rounds of the Bradley fight that he was on the verge of pulling him out because he was taking too much punishment?

    My point is everyone says what a great chin Provo has, How do we Know???? He's never faced a huge puncher.

    Alvarado is a pretty big puncher. He's the only guy that had Rios badly stunned. He's not a Lucas caliber one, but Ruslan took Alvarado's punch like they were literally nothing.

    He stunned rios but that was one hell of a punch(he never landed a punch like that on ruslan) he put all his weight into the shot and it never even knocked rios down you have to remember alvarado comes in on fight night around 160 plus so he is a big dude as well rios was stunned but fired back straight away.

    He didnt fire back straight away. He took a step back and recovered, what fight were you watching? That was the first time I saw Rios go in recovery mode. Ruslan took some huge shots by Alvarado maybe not as hard as the one that stunned Rios, but it didnt even scratch him.
