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

[sicko]

Not really but I will watch because I am a boxing fan and I know Rios will do what ever he can to at least try to win

same here, not excited but will watch it coz I'm curious if Manny has anything left and I'm sure this will not be a boring fight...

Rios is a tune up. He's done nothing of note at 140 let alone 147

Carr vs Delahoya was a better fight and that was off of PPV for christ sakes

oba carr is nobody at all to write home about, so i'm not sure what your point is.

by the rhetoric i'm picking up from the rest of thread it appears as though this is some sort of roundabout way of discrediting manny pacquiao?

Even if Rios isn't quite up to the same level of quality as PacMan's last few fights he still brings a lot to the table. He is going to come to fight and I figure this will turn into a firefight. That said I think Rios won't be able to handle Pacquaio's power and will get KO'd before the 7th round.

this matchup is a stylistic dream...two guys with massive ko power who always fight with a warrior's mentality, i f/ckin' love it.

sadly, it's a bit of a mismatch though. i only wish bam bam had a little more speed and was more technically proficient. this will be a hattonesque type of fight.

Yes I am...!

Oba Carr would own Rios , I thought in a roundabout way it was about putting Rios into true perspective as an opponent for an elite fighter , Rios is a B grade fighter that got beat by B grade fighters , now he is fighting Manny in a PPV , why should Manny be given credit for it ? when he could have fought the guy that beat Rios or he should have fought at least a WW .

Dangerous fight for the Pacman.
Looking forward to it!

Carr would be a champ at 147 today

Only reasons to be excited is that its an all action fight..
Dont fans want action fights-it doesnt get any better than this

I posted earlier that everyone will be interested to see how manny will be after the ko..
remember Roy jones got iced by tarver, came back for a tuneup vs glen johnson and got iced even more brutally, glen johnson was never elite but always came to fight, so does rios, so its not a given that manny walks thru rios... He might get ko'd again
Only way to know is to buy the ppv
Personally im very excited about all the unknowns in this fight
