Comments Thread For: Hopkins Shocked: Pacquiao is Brave To Take Rios Fight

[HeroBando]

hopkins, as alaways is pure BS, he likes 2 hear himself...Pac will b in fight sure vs a smaller, Rios is a '40#er, no more, as seen vs Alvarado, & Pac will b in & out all night...c him showing Rios things he hasn't seen...this is not Alvarado...

Rios smaller? The guy was 160 fight night for a JWW fight. For comparison, SWW champ Cotto asked for a 160 rehydration clause of Marg.

Floyd fans just mad because bhop didn't say the same about Floyd for being brave and taking on Guerrero for his first fight after doing jail time lol.

[The Big Dunn]

Roach and Koncz also disagree with BHop. I guess they are floboners.

Rios isn't going to get in there and dance around and run around," "He's going to come to fight. He'll move straight forward and try to brawl with Manny, and that's the kind of fight that will be very entertaining for the fans. Anyone who knows these two guys knows there's really no other way for them to fight." Koncz

I’m glad to see that Koncz and Arum opted to go for Rios over Alvarado. Rios is a good fighter who fights well in the pocket, but he's more hittable," "I want to see Manny with a good performance. I think he can knock this guy out, and this guy is one of the new generation of fighters coming up. It's a fight that if he wins it, would keep Manny in the pound-for-pound Top 10 and Brandon Rios made some remarks about me a couple of years ago, so seeing him get knocked out by Manny would be some sweet revenge."

just goes to show you haters that manny has more testicular fortitude than a certain pollo

hes fighting a 140lb punching bag at 147lbs.

keeping reaching son, and bring a few more alts while your at it.

[FrankieClutch]

Am I in the minority that thinks this fight is going to be exciting to watch?

[Alpha & Omega]

This is really hilarious. This double standard Floyd faces because he is so much better than everyone else is just a joke. Floyd fights Shane and Cotto and they are shot and washed up. Pac fights them and they are monsters. Floyd fights guys who came up from lower weights, he is a cherrypicker. Pac does it and hes brave and has balls. You guys are all full of ****. If Floyd chose Rios he would be CRUCIFIED by fans and media alike. Unbelievable. Everyones a big time threat to Floyd until he embarrasses them or beats them easily and then they are all shot or too small, etc. It is not accident that the only people who really bash Floyd are the fairweather fans who know nothing about boxing. Ask any real, knowledgeable fight fan or fighters and trainers and they all see the talent and the ability. Pac is joke and so is the last 5 years of his career. Catchweights up the butt, refusing random drug testing. Now hes gonna go fight in Asia where he can PED up and fight a guy with barely any defense and is a come forward brawler coming up in weight. I hope Rios beats the gd **** out of Pac and retires him.

Floyd just fought a guy who barely made it out on his feet vs Aydin, who's 10 times worse than Rios. And Floyd was not coming off a KOTY loss, it was business as usual

You want Pac to get the **** beaten out of him because of some ****** biased posters on a boxing forum?

Floyd is clearly much better than Pac. And they are very different fighters. Pac gets hit a lot and now has been KTFO by JMM. So him coming back against Rios isnt so bad.
If floyd fought Rios after winning with ease against Cotto at 154 and being undefeated, then yes, he would rightly be crucified.

I dont believe they can be judged by the same standards anymore. Floyd looks better than ever, and Pac clearly does not.

[NoMoTomatoCans]

PAC right now is probably an A-/B+ fighter even in his declined state. He can still put good combos together, has a lot of speed/power and "decent" footwork. Rios is a B- fighter at best, crappy defense and no speed. He had a tough time putting Alvarado away. Even though he beat him 2x, he struggled.

I think this is a terrible matchup. PAC assuming not too much ring rust, puts him away inside 10 rounds.

[noStylez]

Pacquiao has been KO'd before so it is entirely possible that his KO loss to JMM won't have the effect that most are predicting it will have.

Not when you're older and put to sleep.
I think Pac will put on a beating. I wouldn't be surprised if Rios managed to catch Pac, punchers chance.
