Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Rios Agreement Reached For November 23

[Calicoe]

if pac wants to fight someone coming off a L, why doesn't he fight cotto at 154?

[Rome-By-Ko]

Still thought he should have fought Alvarado,but this fight should be fun at least..Pac by 8th rd stoppage..

[PACnPBFsuck]

How could people say Pac only fights those coming off loses when Marquez, Bradley and Floyd all avoided him?

[Hougigo]

Is it so hard to fight people coming off wins??? Seriously....

I wished for at least the Alvarado fight too... but we got to call it as it is... even they said it.
Rios is getting picked because he's the easiest to look good against. Coming off a 2 fight losing streak kind of kills a person.... especially after that KO.
They're bringing him to China on the heals of trying to take the China boxing market. If they see a show like Pac/Rios... they're probably going to warm up to the sport a little more than another fight.

IMO.... this is a fight that Arum will use to cement Pac as a mainstay there. If they love him there after that fight... we may never see him in the States again

He already tried. At 150 that is, but Cotto wasn't going to be a sucker again...

Because Manny wanted to prove CWs dont mean anything .

Didn't PAC win a title at 154 as well against a big 154LB, why aren't people asking him to challenge those same fighters, hell Martinez said he would come to 150lbs to make the fight with PAC

Please stop talking nonsense. Manny, during training camp with Margarito said I will never go above 147 again because he saw the effects it had on him. Manny, may I remind you, also had difficulty at trying to reach the WW limit.

You can tell that Manny lost some of his movement and looks bulky trying to get to 147.

Manny admitted that he can't go higher. Floyd never did and actually went back to 154 against Cotto. Perhaps a few pounds short but that is how Manny has done it at 147. So what's the problem? Only Manny can do it?

Isntt Bradley the one that wanted the rematch even though he won and PAC choose Marquez instead because he said he had nothing to prove against Bradley?? And then got KTFO, seems like he shoule make better decisions.

Not only just bums, but bums coming off loses

resumes can be deceiving ....... may need to look a little deeper:

Guerrero's last 3 opponents:
Katsidis : Lost 4 of 5 last fights
Aydin: Lost his last 2 WW fights
Berto: Lost 2 of last 3 fights - was inactive prior to Guerrero and PEDs free.

Guerrero fights at WW: 2
Guerrero fights at 140: 0

"Who is Guerrero? Who has he fought? I'm no Berto!" - Floyd Mayweather
