    That's how favorably Rios's style is for Pac. He will literally walk into every combination and be too slow to do anything about it.
    Same for Margarito, but that was one of Pac's most taxing fights, and he was in a much better spot probably both physically and mentally. It still took something out of him. The weight advantage will be about the same. Rios is not as good, but same ingredients

      Only reason Margarito was hard though is because he had the size and chin to take the beating. Plus, even that Margarito is better than Rios.

      Rios won't be able to take that beating.

        Same size (weight, not reach), and Rios has a top chin as well. If anything, Marg was coming in with more chin questions. No doubt Marg is better, but even without the KO Pac is not quite where he was then.

        You read what Hopkins said. sounded heartfelt, especially the "bad business decision" part

            Your hero, Mayflower, is not flat footed. He wants none of the one dimensional midget. He's scared. What can we do?

                He might be tailor made for Pacquiao of 09 but it's a dangerous fight for him today. You can see Pacquiao has been slowing down since the Margarito fight. The Margarito he fought was coming off a KO and a tough fight with Cotto. Rios put on 2 solid performances against Alvarado. This is a fight Pacquiao probably needs to take caution in but we know caution is not even in his vocabulary. He's gonna take the same risk that got him a KO'd in December. I expect him to win but no it won't be a beat down, and I wouldn't be shocked if Rios pulled of the upset.

                    If Rios isn't faced with possible retirement when this is over, Pac should probably retire. That's how bad he should beat Rios up if he has anything left.
                    PAC ain't juicing anymore, that ain't happenin
