hopefully Rios wins

i dont feel Pacman will be the same, but if he is he should win a war

it will be crazy that first round when Rios just goes straight at him, rushes him with punches lol, more excited for this one than Canelo vs Floyd lol

I just can't take this fight seriously,Rios looked bad against c level fighters at lower weight classes

pacquiao was just knocked out by a career FW turned LW turned juicer.


rios is bigger than marquez and pacquiao by a huge margin.


this will be a fun fight. styles make fights. rios has a great chin and he's fighting a guy who was out COLD in his last fight.


my only issue with the fight is that i've got to pay $70 to see two guys coming off of losses.

Pacquiao was slowing down before the KO. If Rios comes to fight he might score the upset. If he's showing up just to be the opponent then this will be a routine Manny Pacquiao performance. I'm still trying to remember the last time someone suffered such a devastating KO and was productive after it.

pacquiao's head looks like it should be on the body of a heavyweight

I like Pacquiao to win in an impressive ko.

His head is the same damn size as Big George's

WBO interim title, for the number contender status, basically the winner of this fight will fight the winner of the WBO title fight between Bradley and Marquez.

Looks like Pacquiao is going to get a shot to avenge one of his defeats, if he makes it past Rios.

If Pacquiao succeeds in his two subsequent fights, he might be ending career on quite a note.

Because he is. Hell probably be 160 fight night and pac around 150.

Being fat and cutting weight poorly, thus rehydrating poorly doesn't make him that much bigger.

He's a little taller, and more bulky, but they will be much the same size. It's like when people said Hatton was bigger than Pac, but it turned out that Pac was bigger in every single respect to their anatomy apart from one centimetre of height and Hatton being a fat **** and cutting weight poorly.

Rios is too slow. He shouldn't even bother trying to land to the head unless he's using the jab as a range finder to create the openings. His best chance of winning this fight is to take a few risks to set up some body punches to slow and break Manny down in the late rounds.

He'll take a beating in the process, but his chin is good enough to withstand some of Manny's punches and buy himself some time to get close enough to attack Manny's body.

because Big g has no hair and pac has a mushroom on his head
