    Rios is made to order for Manny.
    Ooo look the Floyd Mayweather fans are on sight.

    I wonder who Floyd Mayweather will cherry pick for his next fight haha, Amir Khan most likely

      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.
      Under normal circumstances Pac would be overwhelming favourite. But now we dont know what that ko has taken out of Pac......Pac may have gone from SRR overnight to Audley harrison.

      So Rios is far too good for a comeback opponent. I remember when Cotto lost to Margarito, look at Cottos comeback fight.
      There is your answer.

        I thought Shane had a chance to be honest but more off of punchers luck.
        Out of the two of Mayweather and Pacquiao It was only Floyd who got rocked by Mosley.
        I still dont think he should be in the ring. After Mora you saw he was done.

        Who cares who got rocked? He didnt go down and dominated the fight. I know he is a defensive master but in boxing you sometimes get hit. Anyway this isnt about Floyd.

            Its a good comeback fight in the sense that it will make pacquaio look great. Rios is there to be hit so unless pac is damaged from the marquez fight, he should win with ease.

                I think it's a good fight. I don't see how anyone would say it isn't. Not many fighters jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.

                    Its a great comeback fight.

                    Your only as good as your last fight.

                    Right now alot of people are down on manny because of the jmm ko. And some say he lost his las two vs bradley and jmm. My personal opinion is that he lost the 3rd jmm fight, beat bradley 117-111, and was beating marquez until the ko. Hard to say how much he has left.
                    Rios is tailor-made for an all-action fight with manny. It will be exciting and manny will probably win by ko.

                    The alllure of this fight is because manny will be coming off a long layoff and also having just been ko'd and with rumors about his health, there will be many curious viewers to see how manny returns.
                    Rios is a great comeback opponent and will test manny's chin and reflexes.

                      Usually a fighter coming off of KO or dominating loss would take a soft feather fisted opponent. Although Rios style fits right Into pacs strengths, he's far from a soft touch or non dangerous opponent. Rios will come out guns blazing like he always does.
