    Rios would fuck bim up. Cruz is an average fighter at best.

    Miguel Acosta was a much better fighter than Cruz.

    Which is another reason Tank is so overrated. Casuals talk as if Cruz is a top 5 lightweight.

    Rios was big at 135 when he was still young enough, and didn't party as heavily to make the weight

    Rios was a guy whose prime was always gonna be extremely short.

    It'd be interesting to see him in his prime versus the current guys. I wouldn't expect him to beat the top guys, but I think Rios would KO Ryan and Rolly (I'm 100% sure he KOs Rolly).
