Just saw Pacquiao and Rios on ESPN First Take...Pac will lose again

[UTEP]

^^^^^^^^^^^^This, that's just Manny.

I'm a fan of Rios, he's always in exciting fights but let's face the facts....... At 140 he was a scrub and he will be even worse at 147. Rios was at his most effective at 135 and that's because he was huge at that weight.

Ts can use reverse psychology all he wants.......this is a cherry pick of a fight. If pac loses its because he is shot to ****, not because Rios is the beast that pacfans are making him out to be.

Rios was huge at LWW, and will be huge at WW. How good, probably not that great, but I'd put money on him vs Guerrero and Ortiz at any weight. And Floyd wasn't coming off a KOTY loss when he faced those scrubs.

Here's what Hopkins thinks about Pac's choice, guess this Flojob knows better:

"Brandon can punch. Are you serious? They are brave as hell. Listen, if Pacquiao fights this fight after getting knocked out like that - I have to take my hat off to him because that's a brave move. It's a not a good business move, but that's a brave move. But I guess they want to come back so quick to show that he's okay, but to me that's even worse."

There's a thread on this every Pacquiao fight.

Lmao, come on now. So because Pacquiao feels that Stephen A. is funny means he's going to lose? That is a horrible basis for a prediction.

Here's the vid if anybody missed it.

Stephen A. Smith can't keep Floyds name out of his mouth as usual.

I think Pac is laughing that much at Stephen A. Smith because it's the only reaction keeping him from smacking the douche in the mouth.

1. Rios is a decent size LWW, he has no real size advantage at that weight so can't rely on his size to help him like he could at 135. He can't take a punch as well at that weight and his power is not as effective. He will look even worse at 147.

2. If you bet on Rios to beat Guerrero or Ortiz you will lose your money.

3. If Hopkins said something negative about pac you wouldn't take his word for it. You are only quoting Hopkins now because his opinion suits your agenda. You'd quote Mayweather Sr if he praised pac but if he said something negative you'd accuse him of being a crack head.

I hate saying this but guys I am never wrong when I predict something, I predicted Marquez to KO Manny with the same right hand he used, I predict Rios will knock Pacman out with an uppercut and he will be out cold, do not order the fight if you are a Pacquiao fan, you will only be hurt.

LOL, you predicted Robert Geurrero would beat Floyd Mayweather.

[turkas]

I think I made the Lucas Mattysshe knocking out Mike Dallas Jr cold prediction.

Anyone who knows anything about boxing predicted that outcome.

If this were the case, you'd be posting this from your 10 million dollar yacht.
