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

[HeroBando]

This is Paquiao v. Margarito except with a much smaller Margarito. I expect a massacre. EVEN if pacquiao is not at his best, still no chance for rios.

It' similar, but he's not much smaller. He was just 160 for a 140lb fight. Marg was 165 for a 150 CW.

Bhop is right, Rios is a volume puncher with a iron chin

If Pac wanted a easy fight than he would've fought Alvarado

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

Wtf are talking about??? No doubt JMM caught him with the perfect right. If you look at the tape, you'll see Manny tripped over JMM left foot. That's why he was off balance. The eye in the sky don't lie.

Rios may not be fast enough to land solid on even a washed up Pac. Pac would have to have ZERO chin left for Rios to even be competitive.

Anything less than an inhuman beating, and Pac should retire.

No one knows what a fighter has left after a brutal KO. The reasonable thing to do is to put him in a tune up fight to see where he's at mentally. We'll see if it was a good move or bad move after the fight.

bhop knows whos the warrior whos the bi1tch....

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 *********.

Somehow you know more about boxing than a legend because you're a Pac fan and comment on a forum?

exactly... good post.

We'll see how it goes but after Manny got KO'd- in his post fight interview he said he'd be back to fight more without any hesitation. I think Manny might actually have the type of personality where a defeat like that might not stick around in his head. He didn't seem overwhelmingly depressed or bummed out, the kind of stuff you see from a fighter who is also mentally broken.

Regardless of any of that, his physical attributes have been sliding somewhat for a couple years so we'll just have to see how it looks.
