By Allan Fox: Former WBA World lightweight champion Brandon Rios isn’t impressed with WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (26-0, 22 KO’s), and he sees him as a want to be Floyd Mayweather Jr. clone, but without the skills that made Mayweather a great fighter. Rios feels he would have no problems beating Broner if they were to fight at some point in the future.
Speaking with fighthubtv.com, Rios said “He [Broner] thinks he’s the next Mayweather…he said I would never touch him. If that little 5’4” midget [Gavin Rees] guy landed all those shots…imagine letting me hit you…he blocks well, but not well enough to call him the next Mayweather. He’s not that type of fighter. He does get hit.”
