I wonder how Mayweather would do against Rios at 147

[HOLLYW00]

The Floyd hate in you runs deep sir..

99% of everyone who responded in this thread think you crazy man..

Don't confuse your hate for Floyd with reality..

You really think that Rios would give Floyd trouble?

[HOLLYW00]

Typical pac fanboy logic. Hype up a future pac opponent so when pac ko him it is because pac is the goat and he just beat a top p4p fighter

After it will be "Floyd clearly ducked Rios" but "pac is such a warrior for fighting Rios"

This is the truth!

He broke through Alvarado's defense. He backed him up landed bombs and took some massive bombs himself. If he took power shots like that from Alvarado just think how he'd take Floyd's powder puff punches!

For your sake, I hope you're trolling cause nobody in the right mind would even think of posting such childish mentality, but I'll humor you...their fight styles are different but the outcome would be very much the same.

How is Matthysse competitive, but Rios wouldn't beat Peterson or Mike Jones? I'd pick Rios to beat Jones in a heartbeat, and consider picking him over Peterson.

Styles make fights.

Matthysse would come forward and want to brawl, Peterson and Jones are of the boxer type. They would try to outbox Rios.

You are like the second poster that is essentially saying that because Jones was knocked out by Bailey, that Rios beats him too. I can't believe i'm actually reading that. Bailey is a long time WW who has a lot of power. Mike Jones would be too big, have too much reach, and would be able to take Rios punches. I'm not a Mike Jones fan, it's just crazy to think Rios beats him. Rios beat Alvarado, now he could beat anyone. Rios coming off the Abril loss, people wouldn't have given him much of a chance against Jones or any WW, now he could beat Mike Jones.

I'm not saying that at all. Mike Jones is not very good. He is incapable of keeping Rios from getting inside, he doesn't have good defense, and he isn't a big puncher. I'd pick Rios to kick his ass, without thinking much about it.

Rios can beat Peterson, that's a 50-50 fight IMO. Peterson's boxing ability has not served him as well as his inside fighting at a world class level, and he gets hurt early in fights often. Rios may blast him early and stop him.

Matthysse is more subtle than just coming forward and brawling. Rios would eat too many big punches in that fight. He has a lower chance of winning that fight than he does of beating Mike Jones or Lamont Peterson.

Manny will probably fight him next, wonder about that.

Would people want to see Mayweather-Maidana......probably not.

The bolded...times 20.
