Pacquiao will be fighting Brandon Rios win or lose tonight

[Porter's Dad]

The version of Marg that Pac fought > any version of Rios. Try and deny it.

Yes size won't be an issue, that's the problem. If a bigger and better brawler like Marg couldn't do much against Pac, what would happen to Rios who doesn't even have the size advantage?

No that's not on me, it's on you to explain how a smaller and lesser skilled brawler would do better.

Oh, I'll deny it.

That version of Marg was done, and Pac was much better than he is now.

Pac sliding; facing a young, fresh fighter who will get in that ass, who unlike Martarito will not make Pac look like a defensive wizard.

You don't want to see that fight?

Fine. Do me a favour, stick to your guns and don't watch it.

[The Tase]

You know who these two fighters struggle against? Boxers with movement and angles. You know who they excel against? Fighters who will engage.

This fight will be a barnburner.

nobody is saying pac vs rios is a great legacy defining fight for pac (maybe for rios) but to say it wont be fun is just straight ******.

i wonder if some of these clowns acting all high and mighty would have a problem with past all time greats fighting boxers with 15-20 losses on a regular basis like they did during the "golden" age of boxing.

fake ass dumb a**holes.

Marg wasn't done yet, he was done after Pac gave him a facelift. Rios being young and fresh don't mean ****, he doesn't have Marg's reach or workrate and Marg's overall skillset as a brawler in terms of punch placement. How would Rios get in Pac's ass? By coming forward and eating punches? By the time he's ready to retaliate he'd be hitting nothing but air. Kid would get destroyed in 5-6 rounds tops. There's nothing that Rios does better than even a post-prime Margarito, nothing. And he'd be smaller than Pac to boot. Massacre.

That's all there is to it when it comes to people defending Pacquiao vs a punching bag. Calling it a fun fight.

Not a great fight, not an evenly matched fight, not a dangerous fight. It's always a fun fight when Pacquiao fights a B class opponent.

As the resident expert on punching bags, I agree.

[DannYankee]

Rios cant do that take all you have crap against Pacquiao or Marquez for that matter they would set him up with an early retirement plan.

[ThePunchingBag]

It would be some sort of divine justice if Rios came out of the Pac fight with so much brain damage that he develops Parkinson's disease.

Karma can definitely be a *****.

hoe is this even arguable? pac wouldn't even need his legs vs a guy who literally walks into everything. everything, pac vs rios is = meteor vs dinosaurs. Massacre

Good Rios is the Real Face of Boxing. After Rios KO Pacquiao the haters will still hate!

Rios is bum you idiot !

[IMDAZED]

Margarito was a has been when Pacquiao faced him but Rios is a never will be. At best he might become a decent champ but not much else. But that's all speculation. Given their respective statures today, it's a pretty crappy fight and when people talk about how exciting it would be, I can only assume that they mean they want to see Pacquiao completely dominate someone and cap it off with a stoppage that occurs within five rounds. If you're a Pacquiao fan you bust a nut at the thought of that. If you want to see something more competitve, the thought of this matchup disgusts you.
