Comments Thread For: Arum: In a Year or Two, I'd Make Pacquiao vs. Rios

[Canelo Phresh]

Young and undefeated fighter with pop.


Would this be a problem for boxing fans? For the people who say Pac needs to fight young and rising stars, how will they spin this into a negative if Rios does indeed keep on the upswing?

if your agaist may ortiz then kill yourself...

Match Pacquiao's speed and power ?

But Ortiz is still " too green " huh ?

He meant Rios not Ortiz.

[Ringlife]

In two years Pac is going to enjoy his life without boxing looking at the sunset doing positive things for he's country and if he is smart he will leave Bob Arum like De La Hoya and Mayweather did and start his own promotion in boxing and become a successful promotor.

if rios can make the weight, why not? rios will come to fight and make it exciting for however long it lasts...

[KeepOnPushing]

Another fight that wouldnt even be close

Pac not gonna just sit there flat footed and let rios tee-off like all these other guys are doing....

rios is very exciting but these guys currently are fighting a dumb fight against rios, just flat footed trading shots with a heavy handed guy , **** is just dumb.

[BoZz]

Rios is fighting bums. This would be the easiest fight of Pac's career. He would Hatton him within the first 60 seconds.

Pac won't even have to train for this fight. He can just roll out of bed one day and KTFO outta Rios and go back to bed before the snooze alarm goes off and I'm not even joking.

At least fight Maidana or Matthyse. Maidana has been in 2 back to back FOTY candidates and has a HOFer on his resume. Rios has absolutely nothing.

good old irony lol

Have Rios vs Bradley @ 140 if Bradley signs with TR, winner fights Mike Jones @ 147, winner fights Manny Pacquiao.

Although Acosta actually outboxed Rios in the beginning of the fight. He did started trading with Rios which was his downfall. But while Acosta was boxing and moving, he was whooping Rios.

Who did Rios beat?
Wow.....................

Slow down Bob.
Can Rios atleast fight someone good before declaring him ready for Pacquiao.

And as far as matching speed.
Get off the drugs Bob

that 24/7 would be funny as hell, IF and it's a big IF Garcia teaches/rios comprehends head movement, jab , footwork etc..then the fight could be more interesting for a few more rounds.Don't see him learning it, not his style . Pac by brutal KO and blooody mess of rios face .
