    Is Rios a good COMEBACK fight for Manny Pacquiao?

    I see so many people here with different opinions on this issue. Alot of haters though seem to forget that Pac just got BRUTALLY KNOCKED OUT and that both Marquez and Bradley denied the rematches.

    Call it a confidence booster or whatever, but for someone who lost his last couple of fights and BRUTALLY KNOCKED OUT on his last fight, I don't see why someone can hate on a Pac vs. Rios fight.

    So I want to know who here thinks this is a good comeback fight for Pac.

    Definitely is a good comeback fight for Pacquiao. That's all it is though, a confidence booster for him; a fight to help rebuild his image and bring the pactards back on the wagon. Rios isn't there to cause him problems, he is there to be KO'd.

    If Manny wants to continue to be successful, these are types of opponents he'll need and which he has mostly faced throughout his career. Any type of elite level, technical boxer, will give him grief.

      Rios is fine by me. Sure he's made to order for Manny but Pac just got ICED so a soft touch is acceptable here, That is IF u consider Rios a soft touch!
      Pac should be in and out and thrash him to bits but Bam Bam is game and brings it so the fight should be real fan friendly while it lasts

        Its not ppv worthy. Its set up to make manny look good. Its ok, but it would be nice to see manny fight guys at 147 with at least some ww fights.

          Yes. And its a dangerous fight for Manny as well. Rios didnt get his ass whooped in his last fight. He ***ed that fight up. Alverado boxed carefully and smart. If he would have ****** with Rios He would have been Kod again.
          Manny will **** it out with Rios. That makes it a dangerous fight for him. Rios can take a shot and give them as well. Someone will get KOd IMO. If anyone thinks Rios is a joke, is out of their mind.
          Rios is not the best tactical fighter for sure. But he is in there to the end and wants to get you out of there.
          Both fighters are coming off a loss. Both have something to gain back. RESPECT!
          FOTY style match up.

            if brandon rios is a dangerous fight for manny, even off the KO, then he isnt nearly as good as you have posted over the years. Rios is dangerous for a ALvarado level fighter, not a top 7 or 8 p4p fighter like manny.

              Its a perfect comeback fight for Manny. Rios is a smaller version of Margacheato. No footwork, no defense, rock of a chin. Manny will be picking him off all night.
              Would be shocked if this one didn't end in a brutal KO by Pacquiao.

                A very good comeback fight indeed. Rios is made to order. Rios is a human punching bag.

                  Yes, I think this is a good come back fight for Manny. He is either going to beat Rios or Rios will KO a shot Manny Pacquiao.

                    Its a good comeback fight cause its against a low ranked guy but saying that it is not PPV worthy and he shouldnt be getting 20+ mil for it.
