The reason Pacquiao did not knock out Rios?

He tried to knock Rios out it just didn't happen. It's always funny when people say he didn't look for a KO because he's too nice or some other crazy reason. If he's too nice to knock people out he should stop fighting. Rios just wasn't getting knocked out last night. Pacquiao actually fought a very smart fight. No reason to make excuses for why he didn't get a KO.

I just think Manny was happy to just use his hand speed and footwork to just box the ***** out of Rios and coast to a victory, no need to really step down and try to KO Rios. The ring was huge and PAC was able to move around all night and land good solid punches but at no point in the fight did I think Rios was in trouble of being KO. I don't think there's to many fighters 140-147 that could go toe to toe with Rios but a decent fighter can outbox him easily.

A) He wanted him to endure a 12 round beating. B) He wanted to see more of the Top Rank girls. C) He needed more rounds to shake of the rust from being off a year. D) He didn't want to scare off Mayweather AGAIN. E) All of the above. F) Rios is a durable fighter, and Manny isn't known for stopping guys, that's just something fans jumped onto after he put Hatton to sleep, and an over the hill Oscar didn't get off his stool, since then he's been happy to go 12 rounds Cotto was a 12th round ref stoppage Bradley, Nope Marquez, Nope Mosley, Nope Margarito, Nope Clottey, Nope Rios, Nope

The best answer is because he was doing random drug testing for the first time and couldn't use his roids. That's why he didn't have the power to even put Rios on the canvas. He should of stopped this dude in 6 rounds or under. Makes the guy move up to 147, is slow and flat footed, and just lost to Mike Alvarado who outboxed him at 140lbs.

It seemed to me Manny was on that mercyful sh*t again by the 12th Rios had nothing left either that or Pac was tired which i do not think to be so.

you do realize he did this against a lot of fighters right? he let cotto go in the last rounds too in that fight only for the ref to stop it because cotto clearly wasn't looking to win, he has been like this for a while now. He doesdo this. Probably why he was better when he would **** hookers and get trashed lol

Rios bases his whole game off of making other guys take chances. No way Pac was stupid enough to play that game after getting ko'd.

He's older, less fast, has worse stamina, and had fought with a lot more caution than the Manny that would've knocked Rios out. I think that's a better reason.you do realize he did this against a lot of fighters right? he let cotto go in the last rounds too in that fight only for the ref to stop it because cotto clearly wasn't looking to win, he has been like this for a while now.

rios is a iron chinned mother****er and actually has a good guard.

Pac didnt want to hurt him. Pac probably watched the 3rd 24/7 episode and didnt want to take Rios away from his cute kids.

I think Roach was saying that Pac was just going to box rios during 24/7
