Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Has His Hands Full With Brandon Rios

Even the one from jmm4 will give Rios hell. Pac fought a great fight in his 4th fight against Jmm. He was winning and busting Jmm up prior to getting caught flush.

Yeah, that's because JMM was looking for the KO. If not, he would have given Pacquiao a 5th boxing lesson...which he did anyway. People tend to ignore the body work and the clean, flush counters he landed with regularity. Specially in the last 2 rounds...

Only way Pac doesn't potentially end Rios's career is if Pac is shot. Otherwise this will be hard to stomach.

Agreed. It's gonna be Margarito-Pac 2...Rios is pretty much getting a retirement check. Unless JMM ruined Pac...

It will be worse than that. Rios probably isn't as tough or as good as even that Margarito.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum minced no words when he lashed out at those talking about a possible fight between eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao and undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Arum said “to talk about other fights is idiotic when Manny has his hands full” against Brandon Bam Bam Rios in Macau on November 23.

Arum told the BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard the Rios fight is “the order of business. It’s a very important fight for Manny and its not an easy fight.”

Damn, read between the lines people! PAC makes a statement, Mayweather responds, Koncz responds, the hype for Pac and May almost returns, and Arum shuts it down... It's not because Manny or May ducked each other that the fight never happened... It's because Arum never wanted it to happen.

For the Chinese in Macau, the main feature of the card is Zou Shiming.

Arum's right. Pacquie can very well get knocked out by another cherry pick light weight.

If he's gunshy or mentally off otherwise, or if his legs are gone, this is the worst kind of fighter you want to be facing.

Hype!!!!!!
Rios is too small and to slow for pac also has no skills to ajust to pacs speed all rios has is a good chin against lil guys and good hooks against lil guys goin to 147 i think well all see rios is not good at 147.

Rios was just 160 fight night at LWW.

Rios has the propriety of throwing blind solid right hooks -- just like JMM.
