Comments Thread For: Garcia Has Noticed a Physical Decline in Pacquiao

[cameltoe]

How many stoppages does Pac have over 140 lbs? One...and in the 12th round at that. He has stopped zero people at WW in how many fights after that? He didn't carry anything up. Pac should probably win this but if it goes into the mid-late rounds Pac is going to take some serious punishment. I think people are writing off Rios and just doing the typical Pac **** riding. The only way a Pac win is impressive at all in this fight is if he flat out dominates and KO's Rios period. I hope Rios beats Pac's body until he collapses though.

War Bam Bam!!

More than one actually. Oscar TKO8 @147

Most of the posts regarding this fight just seem like a lot of pacboys rooting on their hero...yea rios can be hit and he can go down but the guy's come off the canvas to win, he has tremendous heart and he puts on a lot of pressure

pac is old....and he's been in a lot of wars and he's had a very long career for his age, he's talked about retiring and has a conflict of interest with politics, u need to be 100% focused for a fight and i don't think he's focused and i didn't even mention that pacquiao isn't exactly hard to miss either, pacquiao will take a fair amount of punishment in this fight and idk how much more he can take at this late stage in his career

a KO like the one he suffered against marquez is a huge factor, thats the kind of KO that damages confidence, it ruins a fighter the way it ruined roy jones, theres a very good chance that pacquiao's never going to be the same

everyone's calling this a cherry pick for pacquiao and that pacquio's gonna win in 5.....rio's has a very good chance to beat pacquiao

Here's the thing: if Pacquiao wasn't permanently damaged by his knockout, he should easily handle Rios. Rios is a tough fighter with a lot of heart, but his style is tailor made for Manny. If Pacquiao defeats Rios, it will certainly help his confidence and he'll be in a position to demand bigger fights, but the truth is that defeating Rios won't really answer any questions about Manny's ability to fight at an elite level because Rios, as entertaining as he can be, is nowhere near an elite boxer himself.

On the other hand, if Rios wins, it will only prove that Manny was damaged by his knockout and Rios won't get much credit because most people will acknowledge that he didn't fight a prime Pacquiao.

Everybody wants to see if Manny is done, and that's the draw in this fight. But once that question is answered, neither fighter stands to gain a lot, even if one fighter destroys the other in spectacular fashion.

and Garcia will see a decline in Rio's brain function after Pac gets done with him.

I hope that chubby bastard gets parkinsons...poetic justice

It's probably because he's no longer on those PEDs!!!

Exactly what it is

[newcastleking]

Pacquiaos legs have been gone but his chin is now dust as well. All hell have are his very fast very powerful hands but is it enough?

So let me get this right....no one is gonna argue that Rios was the best fight available for Manny??

Everybody is gonna act like Rios has no chance?? I miss the movement of 2010..when Pacquiao got have fought anyone and it was the most dangerous fight available.
