Is Rios a good COMEBACK fight for Manny Pacquiao?

[Sin City]

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.

spoken like a true hater.. pacquiao probably has the best resume in the business right now besides bernard hopkins. pacquiao's level of opposition is greater than mayweather's that's for sure.

anyway, most people take easy fights against no names when they come back from a loss and even lower no name fights when they come back from knock out losses. although brandon is tailor made for pacquiao, he is a tough fighter and is gonna give it his all.

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.

Indeed. The one thing I'm really looking forward about this fight is to see if Manny's chin will hold up. Manny won't be able to dodge all of Rios' punches for the entire 12 rounds.

What would be funny though is if Manny's chin does hold up but he ends up getting KO'd by a bodypunch

Good money fight and he only had two choices. Manny thought he might be able to buy opponents like he buys votes

The only problem is its PPV. How is 2 guys coming off losses worth 60+ dollars ?

That is my main argument for this fight

Because it will be a brutal action fight with somebody getting put to sleep.

Just like ward-gatti, vasquez-marquez, holyfield bowe, and pretty much every mayorga ppv fight (tito, oscar, vargas, mosely, cotto)

[The Gambler1981]

It is an acceptable come back fight, it is good in a sense I think he is made for Manny at the very least to look good offensively against so he is good to get him back on track.

I certainly don't see much reason to complain about it and if it is on PPV you don't have to pay for it. I am sure it will be on HBO PPV thus will be on a week later if something interesting happens.

So by your logic if they both KO artists then we should pay for those fights no matter what record is or whether they just won or lost?

That is your choice though, and obviously you enjoy boxing enough to pay the cost.

I would always rather be watching boxing also but that is my issue and I would expect people running the sport to be taking advantage of people like me.

Not something I would complain about~ it is just how it is
