Who has a bigger chance of pulling the upset: Canelo or Rios?

[ShoulderRoll]

In your opinion which of these guys has the better shot at winning their fight?

[dan_cov]

I'd probably have to go with Rios based off Mannys inactivity and the Marquez K.O plus I feel he has lost a step.

I feel both Floyd & Manny should dominate here against two guys with styles absolutely made for them but if I had to pick I'd say Rios had the better chance of pulling it off.

[LacedUp]

Would have to go with Rios, though not by much. Mayweather is getting old and he's facing a big, strong undefeated guy. That guy though, has never fought at anywhere near that level before. I feel Rios is better equipped to fight a guy like Manny who is heavily on the decline.

I say Rios has the better chance of scoring the upset victory over his opponent Manny Pacquiao because he is there to be hit.

[RiC-DiC]

Even chances IMO.

On one side, we have Manny Pacquiao, who is an irrelevant has-been, suggesting Rios would have a good chance of producing an upset. However, Brandon is a one dimensional, cherrypicked, blown up 140 pounder.

On the other hand, Floyd Mayweather is the smartest and most skillful boxer in history, but at 36 years of age, he's facing a much younger, undefeated LMW champ with a decent punch and a solid skillset.

So it's like comparing a racoon's chances against a poodle, and a siberian tiger's chances against a grizzly bear..

Canelo to me he's just better than Rios so I give him a better shot at winning

[El Angel]

Rios, I give him about 10% chance of winning. Canelo? 3% tops.

Hard question to answer. Both have very little chance of upsetting May or Pac, but if I have to choose I'll go with Rios. I choose Rios because there's no denying Pacquiao has lost a step and by the time he gets in the ring with Rios he will have been out for nearly a year. Rios has solid enough chin to and a decent punch. If history is any indication there is a very good chance that not only will his confidence no longer be high, but his chin won't hold up as well as it has in the past. Either way, I don't see an upset in either fight.

People are saying Pacquiao lost a step when its really hes fighting much tougher competition. (ex. 1st ballot HOFer JMM vs Guerrero, imagine if Pacquiao fought Guerrerro - he wouldn't of raised his hand after the fight thinking he won like he did against floyd)

Canelo and Rios are about the same to me. Canelo is alittle more technical but he gases out while Rios can take a punch and keep throwing the whole 12 rounds

Canelo has a far better chance of winning than Rios in my opinion.Mayweather is only a 2 to 1 betting favorite in Vegas. I think Pacquiao will be about a 5 to 1 betting favorite over Rios. I have a large bet on Canelo but I give Rios almost no chance to win. He is not in Pacquiao's class.
