    Is anyone really all that excited about Rios vs. Pacquiao....

    Both fighters coming off losses.....

    Pacquiao coming off back to back defeats.... and the worst knock out defeat of his career....

    and Rios being exposed as a one-dimensional slugger, tailor made for Pacquiao....

    Rios is a 'some-what' credible name for Pacquiao to regain his confidence...

    Sure he's tough.... but Margarito's a great example of what tough gets you against Pacquaio....

    Rios is a young fighter, who's moving up a weight division and is probably too brave for his own good and could face a career threatening defeat... is it worth it?

    and for those who think Pacquiao's slipped... or lost a step.... fighting guys like Marquez, Mayweather, Martinez, Ward is a far different proposition from facing the likes of Rios and Margarito....

    Sure, they'll work hard and have some success but ultimately they're there to be hit all day....

    This is effectivelly Pacquiao fighting a smaller version of Margarito.... Margarito's only advantage against Pacquiao was size.... Rios doesn't even have that.... it's a horrible fight, in terms of the fighters being evenly matched....

    Im looking forward to it purely because u know its gonna be a good action scrap. I think it's a good comeback fight for Manny who as u say is coming off a BIG KO loss

      Seems like a decent fight but one just got demolished and the other isnt even a top fighter who just lost. two recent losers shouldnt be on PPV. That is my only problem with fight

        Of course! How can you complain about such an all action fight?

          It should make for fireworks as long as it lasts. I think the PPV from Macau is going to be a massive flop though.

            exactly. if you wanna watch an action fight, it sure won't disappoint. and then with pac coming off a huge ko, this could get very interesting vs marg clone.

              It will be a good one while it lasts.

                Definitely looking forward to this one. Both fighters would meet in the middle and **** it all out till one of them gets caught with something they do not see and gets KO.

                  Might not be a bigger fight than Canelo/Mayweather, but I'm excited for it. I'm buying it compared t going out for Sept.14th

                    This is a great fight, I can't believe people are complaining about this.
