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

You don't even need to mention Abril. MIKE ALVARADO out boxed rios hahah. Garbage fight but whatever. I'm already tired of talking about it lol

He did but he also got knocked out first. Plus Alvarado was a top 10 JWW. Ortiz has never beaten a top 10 JWW, or a top 10 WW, except for Berto, but that was a catchweight.

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 .

They're not all bigger either, I don't think any of these guys has rehydrated 20lbs, like Rios in his last fight. But we know Guerrero rehydrated 3 lbs 2 fights back. Lucky for him his opponent rehydrated 4lbs, has a 64' reach, and less ability than Soto Karass.

Yea mike is a top guy but the point I'm making is mike Wasnt ranked so high due to his boxing abilities. That's kind like if Malignaggi knocks someone out.

Rios is soft , lot of water weight in him he dont train like an elite fighter trains he trains like a meathead tough guy , the top WWs will murder him , but I dont expect you to understand how any of that works , you probably think his soft body is just him lol .

Just remember when your jumping around saying how great Pac is after KOing him , to have a think of all the posters saying thats what was always going to happen , it might put it into perspective for your mentality but I doubt it .

I'll never be calling Rios a great win for Pac, I'm just hoping for a quality performance, like Floyd Guerrero, or even a spectacular one like Canelo vs Lopez

Thats fine I understand that from a fan but it should be a winning WW not a face first losing JWW thats my point , in the very least if Manny had any honor it should have been Alvarado .

Pretty sure mike was first choice but who to believe these days so much **** talkers.

I don't know why everyone is saying this is a cake walk for Pacquiao. Rios has a chin. He's never been KO'd. He KO'd Mike Alvarado who is a good boxer himself. Pac should win, but it is a "strange" choice to fight Rios after being KO'd (brutally) in your last fight. If he gets touched by Rios, Pacquiao is not a play it safe kind of boxer. He'll continue to be aggressive. He probably should have played it safe against Marquez after the first KD. He should have realized that Marquez had more power than before. But no, he continued to be aggressive and we saw what happened. If fights Rios with the same recklessness the same could happen again.

60% of your post are entirely hate for manny pacquiao, im wondrin' what you do for a living, man?!

Pac took Bam Bams daddy(Margarito) to school and he applied more pressure and threw more punches and had more power than bam bam but the circumstances are so much different will be an interesting fight, make or break fight for pac because if he does bad in this then everyone will know hes finished but if he produces a spectacular ko then he will announce his return and make a bold statement saying ' Yo im back this is boxing sometimes even greats can get KOD by a perfect punch but that dosent mean ****'
