    In terms of styles I think Canelo has a better chance, but I'd be less surprised if Rios won.

      Canelo on the size factor alone. Rios has no chance against Manny, unless Manny is completely shot. I don't think Manny is, and I still think Manny will come back and fight well for another couple years. He was looking good in the Marquez fight, he just got caught with something he didn't see coming, a perfect right hand from Marquez.

      Rios is a come forward, face first brawler, who knows how to do nothing else other than walk forward and punch. Manny will f**king obliterate Rios, unless he turns up shot over this layoff.

      Canelo will be 20+ lbs heavier than Floyd on fight night, has a decent skill set, and has power. I don't think Canelo will win, but he's a lot better than Rios, so he has to have a better shot.

        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
        For months you were saying Floyd was going to duck Guerrero. Than you spent the entire lead up saying how Guerrero was going to give Floyd his toughest fight. Now the dudes a bum?

              Canelo for sure. He's going to have a huge size advantage against Floyd. But then again, who knows how Manny will look with the VADA testing apparently taking place for the Rios fight.

                Seeing how Canelo has zero chance of winning, it has to be Rios.

                    Pretty even, but I went with Canelo.

                    Pac isn't what he used to be, but Rios is not an elite fighter. At all. Canelo is pretty good.

                      Canelo, the size factor and he still is unknown how he would do on a fight like this since he is so young and unproven. This might be his coming out party.

                      Even if Pac lost a step he will be better than 90% of the fighters out there and Rios simply gets hit too much
