Rios Vs Pacquiao? is it Brandon' Rocky moment?

Yes, nobody is giving Rios a chance and if he wins everybody will blame it on the Marquez KO. Either way Pacquiao has nothing to lose and Rios has nothing to gain.

Rios is not going to win a boxing match or a fight with Manny. The problem for him is that he is also not some monsterous puncher that could land and end it with one shot if Manny truly has a cracked chin. The very best he can do here is go out on his shield while making some account for himself so he can build off of the exposure. The worst case scenario is he turns into Margarito a gets ruined. Hopefully Garcia is good enough to be merciful and throw the towel in this time. I think your not giving Rios power enough credit.. hes not a one punch ko artist but if Manny's chin is truly cracked I mean he did get KTFO so we don't know, I believe Rios has enough pop to rock/kd Manny if he lands on the Chin the problem is "IF" after all it's not easy to land cleanly on Manny pre KTFO. GOD I WISH IT WAS SATURDAY ALREADY!!!! PS Imagine if Rios slapped Manny at the weigh in that Ish would be Crazy and would drive up ratings even more! or Ariza sucker punches Freddy and puts him to sleep

This is Brandon's biggest shot no doubt. If he loses he'll never get anywhere near this kind of payday or fight. I see Rios retiring in a few years if he loses to Pacquiao. No way he continues fighting this way and taking so much punishment. He better save his money because no way he deserves this kind of payday. What are you talking about? even if he loses (most likely) he has Alvarado 3 lined up, remember hes a top rank fighter and hes fan friendly.

if he wins which is really not farfetched at this point given we dont know where pac is physically and mentally , why not....

It seems that Rios is training heavily in body shots, and the problem with that is he needs to plant his feet to throw and i doubt Manny is going to just stand there, I mean point blank Rios must be willing to walk through hell take 4 to land 1, and try to land on the body or on Mannys questionable chin. All i know is I'am excited, because Manny isn't one to bore us against a pressure fighter! God Damnit I wish it was 9pm on Saturday! Wait...what time will the fight be for us in the States??? same time 9pm, pac's almost one year lay off coming from a KO loss makes this fight more interesting, excited to see who lands the big shot first especially on how Manny will respond

Rios is going to lose and it won't be pretty

Rios has granite level chin. I think people's expectation for a Pac KO is too high.

The only way Pacquiao loses is if his punch resistance is shot, and it's as simple as that. I believe he's just fine, but until they fight, none of us have any way of knowing.

Rios is a good fighter and he has been a champion at both 135 and 140. Pacquiao is a great fighter. Great fighters usually beat the hell out of good fighters. Of course Rios has a chance to win. Sometimes good fighters beat great fighters.I think Rios is really bigger than Pacquiao and he is in his prime at 27 and about 8 years younger than Pacquiao. Pacquiao is about a 4 to 1 betting favorite and a Pacquiao one sided KO win is the most likely result but certainly not a sure thing whats a more sure thing? Rios lasting 12 or Manny getting a ko in god knows how many years?

I understand that people have kept in there mind the manny p that killed cotto Hatton dela Hoya and margarito. But let's be honest Mannys ko loss to Marquez was one of the worst kos in boxing history. How was Roy jones jr after being koed, Paul Williams, meldrick taylor and on and on. U never know pacman might be shot . Maybe not but. But as bad rios so called "sucks" how did he beat guys like Acosta,Alvarado and skilled prospect like Peterson. Alotta motivation for rios going into this fight. And he isn't no bit##

sure it's his Rocky moment, Pac's there for the taking if Rios goes all out, he can definitely win, Pac's shot win or lose, Rios will elevate himself in this fight Pac's far gone to the point that Rios will get some good work done Rios will parlay this fight into something big later on It seems that Rios is training heavily in body shots, and the problem with that is he needs to plant his feet to throw and i doubt Manny is going to just stand there, I mean point blank Rios must be willing to walk through hell take 4 to land 1, and try to land on the body or on Mannys questionable chin.

ita def brandon rios' margarito moment (from when marg vs pac) lol i'm tired of people comparing rios-marg, marg was done when he fought Manny like many of Manny's opponents...his confidence was shot he got busted attempting to cheat and got the crap beat out of him by Suga Shane and it was at a catchweight, im not saying rios is better than prime margo, but i think he has more left at this stage of his career. It all depends how Manny feels after he got ktfo, is hes okay he is way more skilled and versatile and see him winning 12 UD, people need to remember Manny hasnt knocked out anyone in ages!

I mean let's be honest pretty much no one is giving him a chance, everyone is saying he is going to get slaughtered, if he lasts all 12 and maybe even knocks pack down, or does the improbable and ktfo Manny? will he get on the mic and yell Vicky!!! p.s. to all the people saying pac is non skilled and a punching bag? you are only downgrading pac's credentials if he wins...how can you brag about beating a punching bag that had no chance in hell, the fight is a farce. So you want me to build up Rios to something he's not?
