lol at people thinking soto beats rios......acosta>soto...ask antillon

its sottos stamina. also i don't think acosta anitllion 2 will be as close as their first bout......

Do you really think that Rios looked better there (walking down Miguel Acosta, I might remind you) than Margarito did beating Cotto? The difference in class of opposition is pretty big and Margarito had a much better chin. Rios has serious power, though. If he can get his footwork down, he can be dangerous. Love to see Marquez cut his ass up.

He looked much faster than Margarito yes and of course minus the plaster.

Rios has a lot of improvement to do.

What happens when he faces a Boxer who doesn't gas and can stay with the pressure? Mike Jones and Mayweather type fighters.

Dont worry about Floyd! Floyd ducks those kind of Fighters!

Badass fight!

if we had any venezuelan posters this is what they would say "acosta was dominating rios until the plaster hardened in round 6."

Sadly, I doubt that fight happens.

Rios has no footwork, no hand speed, no head movement, just a pressure fighter and some chin beat the guy who can really move better, has nice job and faster handspeed.

so dont believe with technical ability always superior in boxing. Rios only has some power and a chin. what more if Rios had HAND SPEED, FOOTWORK, COMBINATION, GREAT CHIN? he would be a beast.

Yeah me too. But it seems the way to fight Pacquiao is to jump on Top Rank. Marquez could sign with Top Rank, fight Soto or Rios and then jump to fight Pacquiao in November. The Rios/Soto fight would make sense. It's a Mexican rivalry, two guys who would be coming off exciting wins (I think Soto beats Antillon the same way again) but who really don't have a shot to beat Marquez. Then, Marquez wins and gets the in-house fight with Pacquiao he's been looking for.

this is what i hate about rios. this is what i find SO very irritating about rios.

its not his foot speed. when rios is hit flush he'll tend to just walk forward & stop throwing. it takes him rounds to get going again. I don't like how he just stops throwing (while coming forward)......this is why rios will never be marg. marg threw punches regardless of the situation.

i think he's a fun fighter to watch.

but not elite.

i think he's there for the picking by the right fighter....
