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

[Craveman]

I'll go with Hopkins on this one because we don't know the state of Pacquiao chin after that brutal knockout. So I must say Rios has a puncher's chance or Pacquiao's chin may be fragile as of late which can crumble with simplest jab?

Hes only wrong because he thinks Manny has nothing left. Manny might not be a P4P type fighter anymore but hes still good enough to beat 85% of the fighters out there.

speedkillznah bhop youre wrong this time. no bravery is required for a top fighter like pac to take on a tomato can like rios, in order to get a confidence boosting, highlight reel KO victory

I agree with both.

difference is glen johnson had some sort of skills. whether or not the skills are at the bare minimum, there was some form of skill there. cant say the same for rios, can we?

wtf are you walking about? Rios don't have much skills but Pacquiao don't have much skills either because If he did he wouldn't have rushed in on Marquez with his hands down and gotten KTFO

i don't think hopkins is completely wrong...i mean of course rios' style is tailor made for someone like pacquiao BUT will we see the same pacquiao of old come fight night? has anyone ever come back looking the same after a devastating KO loss (being put unconscious for several minutes)? so we'll definitely see how much pac has left when he goes up against someone as relentless, big and hard of a puncher like rios...i have my doubts that pac's chin will be the same.

Pacquiao is the man.

Tough fight, no doubt. At the end of the day though, you gotta love Pacquiao... All of his fights are exciting with the exception of the Clottey fight I'm always well excited.

I'm calling Pacquiao to win this fight. And to the anti pacquiao crowed, you better hope dudes chin is gone, because if it isn't brandon is going to get a Margarito style beating. Rios will dramatically decline after this pacquiao fight.

agreed...why are people pretending that pac didn't get knocked out unconscious? and are acting as if we'll see the same old pac who manhandled guys much better than rios..truth is we don't know how pac will look/perform come fight night and that's what makes this fight interesting...

truthfully i would have rather pac fought someone like bradley who is a softer puncher and isn't going to push pac to his limits...

pacquiao has skills. come on. he got reckless and paid the price from someone who has MORE skills. but you cant say pac has no skills. he is limited, but he is skillful. but when compared to rios, pac is the p4p #1 greatest fighter in the history of all fighting arts

Unless Manny's chin is completely destroyed, which i highly doubt, he should make easy work of a stationary Rios. Hopkins seems to think Manny no longer has a chin, which I'd say is wrong. This is a fight to help rebuild Manny and for Arum to make more money off him, nothing more.

Hopkins puts Floyd's accomplishments to shame but one thing's for sure..he is an idiot. He doesn't know boxing. In fact he is a *********.
