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

[tangalog2200]

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...

the thing is pac wants to come back with a **** or go out with a ****....

after two losses a win over a "safe" opponent will not be good enough....

at least rios could bam.....or does not deserve that monicker?

Hopkins don't know shiet about boxing! Lol

Oh and you do??lol

[flushuppercut]

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

What did you forget what happened in Rios vs. Alvarado 1?
Pac is brave to face either one right after a ko loss like he took,
which i think is the point B-hop was trying to make

Love your fantasy island event lol , Pac dont wanna go out with a **** he wants a sure KO , by chosing a 140lb B grader coming of 2 losses in his last 3 he is proving exactly what he wants , the dude is a sneaky rat , thats why he is a successful politician , and thats why he handicaps opponents any way he can , he cant CW WWs no more because everybody is on to him , so he just gets around that easy , just dont fight any WWs and his underage fanbase skips all the way home from school lol ,

This is a very easy fight for Manny Pacquiao to say the least. I think that the excessive amount of punishment Brandon Rios has absorbed over his career is now finally taking its toll on him. Personally, he appeared shop worn in his last fight against Mike "Mile High" Alvarado. His legs seemed to me a lot weaker than usual and the irony of it all; He was at a heavier weight class, where his legs should have been a lot more durable and sturdy.

Also, his punches were a lot slower and have begun showing signs of losing snap on them as well. One thing, I can say is that both Pacquiao and Rios comes to fight and this opponent is the perfect foil for Manny; A virtual human punching bag who eats punches and throws wide and looping punches that Pacquiao should see coming a mile away; Unlike his two previous opponents who defeated him in Marquez, who rarely throws enough punches and Bradley who likes to move around the ring a bit too much. I can see Pacquiao out landing Rios by some 3 to 4-1 margin.

When I read posts like this , straight up I think your a TV fan , no clue about classes and weights , advantages disadvantages , you just see 2 guys punching each other , Floyd would beat Alvarado and Rios on the same night , let them do 6 rounds a piece , and to be fair Manny would stop both the same way , they are both cherry picks and B grade fighters , Manny is A grade being fed a certain KO win , he should be fighting a WW in the very least considering all the BS in Mannys WW resume he comes back and plucks another JWW , its just BS .

Bradley Alexander Berto Ortiz JMM Guerrero all beat Rios at 147 with most going to stop him , is what it is a give me fight for Manny .

Not ll those guys would beat Rios. For example, he'd eat Ortiz and Berto's heart, and probably run over Guerrero like the midget bum Aydin almost did.

I dont think so they are all bigger with a lot more skill , if Abril out boxed Rios all those guys will give him a very bad night .
