    Would Robert Guerrero be a tougher fight for Pacquiao than Rios?

    Robert Guerrero at-lest has one fight at 147.
    Has a good chin as-well.
    Actually 10 times the better boxer than Brandon Rios.
    Has descent power.
    Better footwork.
    And actually quicker than Rios.

    Stylistically do you believe that Rios is better opponent?

    Yes. He would frustrate the hell out of Pacquiao with the dirty stuff. Incidentally, Paulie M. would also be a strange test for Pacquiao.

      Obviously Guerrero is a better opponent. Rios has never done anything at 147, even Guerrero's only gotten a couple ehhh wins at 147, it's still better than nothing and losing your last fight at 140.

      He'd probably be tougher just because he has more to arsenal. Rios is a plodder who comes straight ahead and brawl.

          RG is longer and is a better boxer. But will still lose. He'd test Manny a little bit more because of his reac and he moves better than Rios, but will meet the same fate.

            Guerrero was hopeless chasing Floyd across the ring, so I wonder if Pacquiao would make him dizzy with foot movement. But knowing Pacquiao, he'd stay there and trade.

              Yes, barreling forward really fast is pretty amazing. Until you walk into a Marquez right hand.

                Is this even up for debate. Ofcourse Guerrerro would be the tougher fight. RG would also beat the hell out of Rios at 147.

                  No, he would just make the fight really ugly in an attempt to survive

                    i think the fight could end in TKO for pacquiao by bombarding guerrero with punches but i still thibk guerrero would make a good fight out of it
