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

[Biolink]

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

As far as skills are concerned Rios makes Pacquiao look like Sugar Ray Robinson. Plus you don't get to P4P #1 by having no skills at all. Be real, Rios is a come forward punching bag.

This going to be a slugfest

Flowmoez: Bernard doesn't know shiietz about boxing!! Rios is tailor made for PAC! This is a cherry pick for PAC to look good!! PAC should be fighting a legit WW someone like Paulie.

dont reach too hard, you might fall off the edge lol

its pretty unanimous that this fight is acceptable for pac to get a good KO victory and climb the ladder back to the top, so who exactly are you targeting here? you're out of your element on this topic, generic answers dont apply

I think Pacquiao knocks Rios out. That said, I agree with Hopkins that fighters are usually not the same after getting knocked spark out. It's like the seal has been broken on their chin. In that regard I think Pacquiao will have to change his approach as I don't think he'll be able to take as many big shots as he used to.

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.

We all know what this is, a nice pick from the TR cherry tree for PAC to feast on thus building his confidence and Bobs future bank account. Rios is gonna get beat up knocked out or stopped by the ref. then bob gives him a tomato can to build him back up then cash him out vs Alvarado. With PAC back by brutal ok to rios, we will finally get to hear fmj vs pacman talk again with the same bs attached.

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."

Are roach and Koncz *****ez?

Did someone say Pauli? As in the kid from NY? He's going to have his head handed to him by Broner. There won't be enough left to feed a mid-size dog.

I got to agree with some of you hear, while this is a risky fight - I think Pacman has enough gas in his tank and boxing skill to school Rios and possibly KO him.

It should be entertaining though! I'd watch it.
