Guerrero Says Pacquiao's Experience Will Trump Rios

By Elisinio Castillo

Former champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero says Manny Pacquiao's experience in big fights will play a big role in beating Brandon Rios (31-1-1, 23KOs) on Saturday night in Macau, China. Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38KOs), returning from back to back defeats, has fought and beaten some of the biggest names in the sport - like Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Erik Morales, Shane Mosley, Marco Antonio Barrera and several others.

"I think it's going to be a great fight. Rios is a warrior and he's got a lot of heart, but if I had to pick a winner I would go with Manny because of his experience in big fights and his speed. This is definitely a fight for the fans to enjoy no matter who the winner will....the fans will win and that's what's most important," Guerrero stated to BoxingScene.com.
