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

[hectari]

It'll have been almost 12 months since pac has been back on nov 23. I think he'll be more than rested and ready to put rios away easily. Rios won't be able to handle the flurries but it's possible pac's chin could get checked, should be a fun fight.

The only way I will take Pacquiao seriously again is if he takes training camp seriously, his last training camps have all been crap, he only trained 4 weeks deep, and the early part was light jogging. If he gets back to doing serious training that Alex Ariza had him on when he fought Diaz, Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, I will take him serious. If he goes back to doing a half gassed training camp again, it means he is just fighting for a check.

floyd f@gs wish somebody would call their idol brave..guess what mofos , it aint happening ....you represent the biggest coward in boxing...

[..David..]

wasnt expecting this comment from hopkins

i kinda get it ... i mean you have to be brave to fight a hard hitter after being KOed

But rios just has the style to be murdered by Pac and thats cool that its gonna boost his confidence again.

SMH @ these boxing experts think defensive fighter = skills and offensive fighter = no skills.

Floyd is a good defensive fighter but you rarely see him fights offensively. Pac is a good offensive fighter but you rarely see him fights defensively. It is a two sides of a coin.

Saying Floyd is a just good defensive fighter is an understatement , he is a great defensive figher one of the best in history and he was offensive like a surgeon as a 130-5 pounder , Manny is an elite offensive fighter with an elite all around game and there have been a lot of that in history , I Know Manny can box real good thats why he is elite , only sluggers like Rios never get to that elite status , you must have skills to hang there other wise skills will kill you more than power will its easy to negate power if your as strong .

Thats why this fight is easy for Manny , if Brandon is stronger Manny will just box until he cracks him with something that hurts and then its all over , if Manny is stronger he will just Tee off in engages and its goodnight Rios .

B-hop makes it sounds like Manny will be facing a master boxer.

When brave comes to mind you think someone going in against a puncher. Back in the day people thought Ali was either crazy or brave for going in against Sonny Liston.

Nobody calls someone brave for fighting a defensive master boxer Sweet pea, Floyd, or Rigo. lol

They call them brave for going in against guys like Duran, Tyson, Foreman, Pacquiao, Valero, guys who only have one intention and that is to try and take your head off.

Example Marquez is Brave for fighting Pacquiao 4 times and trading leather with him.

Huh? No sorry brave would have been fighting the WINNER of that fight. The guy who's long, rangy, can box and **** and drop that monster right too. Rios has power no doubt, but he pressures u in straight lines and is a sitting duck for Manny. This is gonna be like the Pacquiao vs Diaz fight, he needs a confidence boost and Rios is there to give it to him

manny can't avoid a tear up... Rios isn't a skilled pure boxer, but Alvarado has some skills and he got beat in their first fight.

Your another adding your thoughts into what Bhop said , all he said was Pac is brave , the rest of the justification of Rios as an opponent you created in your head .

Maybe somebody should ask Bhop a few more probing questions regarding the fight to get a clear idea of what he thinks about , assuming is not accurate .

Its ridiculous how the new generations of boxing fans read things into whats not said .

You are clearly a nuisance like most posters are saying. Why do you make things difficult? Bhop said rios is a big puncher, and pacquiao being a finished product- rios would be dangerous for him.
