If Pacman beats Rios Easily, the hype is back instantly

If he destroys Rios (I think he will easily but I have always been a Rios hater) then I think that sets up a big fight against Bradley (also assuming he beats Marquez). If he avenges the Bradley loss people will be talking about Pac/Floyd again but it will never be what it could have been in early 2010...

noone knows rios lost. so pactrads are gonna be rejoicing like its the second coming of christ Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

but pac gettin ktfo doe Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

why will he get hype ???? for getting ktfo by a 135lb fighter (marquez) fighting rios who has never fought at 147 and got beat in his last outing at 140 , and only ever fought above 135 twice and got beaten in one of them. Please..... set him a task to earn the hype instead of picking smaller opponants coming of a loss and giving him props he DONT deserve.

He will win easily, but I disagree about the hype returning. Rios is the kind of guy he has always taken apart. Beating a face first brawler who is coming off a loss to a less than top tier fighter does not equal hype. The only story here is if he struggles to do it.

Id say yes. Rios only loss came from the guy he (rios) Kod. And that was by a decision. Nobody has really beat down Rios. If Manny does it will show no rust or timid thoughts or signs of slacking...He will be back with a vengeance. In no way at all is Rios a look over type fighter! Lol here you go...if Mayweather was fighting Rios, you would be $h!tting all over him. Truth is, Rios is a smaller version of Margarito...nothing about Rios is better than Margarito so if Pac is anywhere close to 85% (don't think he'll ever be 100% again) Rios should get pounded out in about 8rds.

Hype is different from actually having it anymore, people still want to see him against Floyd now these aren't the most knowledgeable people and Rios has a fairly glossy record so a win over him will hype those people up more. Now the real hardcore boxing fans they should know the deal and wouldn't buy that hype but the vast majority of fans aren't in that group so they will buy the hype at least to a degree.

Why and how? Does Alvarado get holy high praise attention for beating Rios too? Nooo so why should Pacquiao. Plus Rios is coming off a loss to Alvarado a C+ fighter at best that tells allot on the measuring stick where Pac's level is at right now.

If Pacquiao beats Rios easily I agree the hype will be back and rightfully so. Rios is a proven very good fighter and Pacquiao is a proven great fighter. If Bradley wins he would probably give Pacquiao a title shot since Pacquiao would be another big payday for Bradley. Marquez said he would never fight Pacquiao again so maybe he will stick to that.

Is this like a preemptive discrediting strike?

Why wouldnt you mention Bradley ? Regardless of how you or most other people scored the fight, what did the actual fight itself do for Pacquaio ? Lets say Pacquiao got the decision against Bradley... Did he look good doing it ? Bradley was relatively unknown to the casual fan, you know the guys who believe the hype in the first place.. if Pac beats Bradley they are either saying "wow that Bradley guy was better than I thought"... or "wow Pac looked like **** tonight"... Pac has a long road to regain his "hype" he hasnt looked like "PACQUIAO" in years ... Rios is a good start but he would need to string together a few ko's against quality guys and GBP has 40-54 pretty much locked .. winner of Provo Alvarado would be nice though Lets be truthful here , Manny hasn't looked like Manny since his last CW and Margarito needed diuretics to make 150 , the 26 ft ring and illegal 8oz gloves helped lots to keep the drained sloth away from corners . The last great Manny performance before that was the " I will never sacrifice my body like that for another fighter " Cotto , again at a CW . The time before that was deadman walking " I need IV fluid infusions to gain 2 lb " Oscar , again at a weight Oscar had not seen in over 10 yrs . The time before that was I got a new trainer and a coke habit Hatton . All coming of big loses . See any patterns guys , the rest of his resume against healthy opponents is ordinary and beaten twice , John Lennon wrote a song just for Manny . Karma is gonna get you , gonna knock you right on your face better get yourself together pretty soon you gonna be dead .

Rios is suppose to lose and lose badly...thats why he was picked man...and if a Bradley rematch and 5th damn Jmm fight is what his fans have to look forward to then he might as well retire...Arum is ruining the man with these recycled ass in house fights

Rios is a superbum. If Pac is not too damaged, I expect him to blast through Rios. Manny wants to be the next Abril killer , it looks like Manny has found a home in B grade .

Yes he lost to marquez(not even going to mention Bradley), but if he man handles Rios the hype is back regardless. There is always that fighter that has a number on you for some reason and gives you trouble. For mosley it was forest, For ali it was Frazier, hell even for mayweather it was castillo. Great Boxers come back from that tough fight and are still be as marketable as they once were. And if he knocks out or owns rios, people will be talking about him again. Plus, if he beats Rios, Besides maybe Pacman and Floyd, he has got the two biggest potential Fights in boxing, Pacman vs Bradley, or Pacman vs Marquez. No other fight that mayweather can have can come close to those two in my opinion. Why wouldnt you mention Bradley ? Regardless of how you or most other people scored the fight, what did the actual fight itself do for Pacquaio ? Lets say Pacquiao got the decision against Bradley... Did he look good doing it ? Bradley was relatively unknown to the casual fan, you know the guys who believe the hype in the first place.. if Pac beats Bradley they are either saying "wow that Bradley guy was better than I thought"... or "wow Pac looked like **** tonight"...

I fully expect Pac to punch about a thousand holes into Rios, who, for me, makes much more of an impression with how much punishment he can actually absorb and still come forward. The kid is tough as nails, no doubt. But I think he can absorb a better shot than the one he can deal. Because of this, I think he is tailor made for the kind of fighter Pac is (was?) -a high volume, mega-offensive puncher/boxer. So I'm gonna look for a Pac stoppage sometime between Rds 9-11, at which point, yes, to the casual fan, the hype of May-Pac will be placed back on the front burner.

If Rios knocks out Manny. Expect the ped card if the lucky punch card is not used:D

He's probably got to knock out Marquez and I don't think he's going to get that opportunity again. However a run of wins against guys who like to rumble would earn him good money and get the hype train going again.

I still think he'd have to beat the winner of Marquez-Bradley

Don't agree. Pacmania will never be like it was. It won't return from beating a guy that is not relevant at the weight class.
