    Rios is 5 ft 8.

    It's weird. From looking at pics, Rios and Alvarez don't look that much different in size, but comparing them to how they look in the ring, Alvarez looks alot bigger.
    @ 147, i'd favor Alvarez.

    Rios used to be listed at 5'9 every fight. Now he's listed at 5'8.

    Either way, those guys aren't dramatically different in size. Alvarez was barely bigger than Matthew Hatton.

    Some people are big for their weightclass, and some are small. Rios is probably better at cutting weight than Le Ginge.

    Rios would hammer Alvarez, I would be 95% confident in picking Rios.

    Nope. Ginger would still win. But make no mistake, its PURELY based off size.

    Bam Bam is by FAAAARRRRRRRR the better fighter, and doesnt get a fraction of the hype.
