If Rios somehow beats Manny,should he retire?

[GoldenGloveLove]

No dissing to Rios but hell yes! Rios is the perfect style for Manny. If he loses this it's the ultimate sign from the whole universe that he should not be fighting anymore. It's not that Rios is bad but he's obviously not an elite fighter and again he's the perfect style for Pacquiao.

Arum will convince all the dumbass pacturds into thinking "Manny is back" and they'll pay for the PPVs. If he loses to rios I expect him to continue fighting, but it will be against hobos in China.

Rios is bigger and has a better chin than Hatton. I think he's gonna take a little time to put away.

Who has he really proven his chin against? he has not fought anyone on Mannys level nor anyone other then Alvarado at 140..he has 0 fights at 147 and was wobbled against a lesser fighter at 140. Manny is an elite fighter and a puncher at 147 he should end Rios's career and early

but if PAC Hatton's him, the misguided buzz in NSB will be fun to watch...i might even join in on the trolling

Oh you know it. May is scared of Pac coming off getting put to sleep, imagine if Pac looks like 2009 again because of fighting Rios.

[Spray_resistant]

Yes he should if he loses because Rios is a defenseless slow punching bag who Pac should be able to light up with combinations step out and around him then do it again repeatedly until its over.

Never underestimate a fighter with nothing to lose against a fighter that just got KOd.

Rule #1 in boxing.

Rios is the type of opponent to see if Manny's chin and overall physicality is back.

[maguirre]

Floms would be glad to see Pacman get KOed again and retire. Hehe... They're always angry when Pacquiao is around. Hehe...

[El Angel]

That's true, Rios hasn't had to prove his chin near this level before. I just don't think him getting past 5 is indicative of how much Manny has left at this point.

retire from championship fights.....

but no need to retire.... a fighter fights....

that's what he does.....

pacquiao could still make 100's of 1000's, if not millions fighting in places like Russia....

yes if rios beats manny, especially by ko,,, then manny needs to never fight again...

I cant believe so many people give rios no chance,,,,

This fight has roy jones-johnson written all over it,,,

legendary fighter coming off a brutal ko loss to arch rival
comes back to fight a tune-up vs an entertaining but average opponent
gets ko'd again.....

Manny is in the same spot roy was in a decade ago......

hopefully history doesn't repeat itself...

would be sad to see pac get retired by someone like rios..
