Rios & his manger reach out to Eddie Hearn,to see if they can make the fight happen,even willing to fight in the UK for the fight.Even though i think Brook would easily outbox Rios,I like the attitude of Brandon Rios willing to fight anyone,a peoples fighter & the heart of a champion.

I think Brandon gots one foot out the door & is just cashing out at any opportunity he can til he hangs em up. Brandon would fight Wladimir. Respect to him. I think he's getting clobbered in this fight. W12 or mid-round stoppage (7th, 8th maybe).

Your right Rios would fight anyone he couldn't really beat,to try to gain a little props.

I agree, hats off to Rios for having something that Khan does not. He has never been short of courage, even if it is a fight he knows he has little chance to win.

Rios talking about going to Brook back yard,Guy has heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... 19c1gNDiW8

he would not win,b ut it would be an enteratining fight.

If wouldn't win,Still could get good fights in the future,I could see Rios beating someone like Berto,Roberto Garcia,Victor Ortiz,Pablo Cesar Cano,Joan Guzman,or maybe Sadam Ali.

I would prefer to see Rios fight Maidana. That would be an insane fight.

Plus put
Ruslan Provokindov
Lucas Matthysse

Into the mix as well. For me Brandon Rios is like a 2010s version of Arturo Gatti, iron chinned, big hearted and owns a massive pair of balls too. It would be a good match up if he went in against Kell Brook as Rios brings constant pressure as he only goes forward and an utter windmill. So it might play into Kell Brook's hands being a Wincobank fighter as he just step back and pick Rios off. And if needs be have a fire fight.

Agree, but being from the same camp & all that is gonna make this one we never see sadly.

I'd actually prefer Brandon vs Ruslan or Lucas than Kell & those seem like easy to make fights & funner fights although granted from Brandon's POV lesser money options.

When was the last time a genuine world class American travelled for a great win,whether it be as champ or challenger?

I keep thinking when Bradley and Alexander came over to England to beat Witter but surely there's a more recent one??

More because Maidana is promoted by Haymon and Rios is Arum. They would never work together.

Floyd (Al's guy) & Manny (Bob's guy) are fighting in a month. Tell me the last time two guys with Robert Garcia fought each other? Them guys ain't fighting if they were both with Al or Bob or whoever. Gym sh!t is deeper than contractual sh!t sometimes.

I still say Brandon vs Ruslan vs Lucas is a more fun mixup anyway its lined up than Brandon vs Marcos. Brandon ain't really a 147lber he just plays one when the money is right.
