Will Manny be the same after being knocked out cold?

[Pepe Smith]

I like the odds on Rios vs Pac. I know Rios is tailor made for Pac but after being KTFOed I have a feeling that Pac wont be the same fighter. I can cite Roy Jones as an example and Chuck liddell in MMA. Will pac still be the same? Can you guys help me out?

i think so not like he took a beating from jmm

but he got koed in devastating fashion. Roy Jones was never the same after being KTFOed Chuck liddell a guy with a solid chin gets knocked out after getting hit with a solid punch against anyone. both guys turned into glass jaws and rios is a powerful guy. Pac cant fight defensively like floyd, that's why I am leaning on betting Rios. If this fight was made after the Bradley fight I would never consider betting on Rios. But after that devastating KO I'm leaning towards him. I think Rios is the wrong opponent for a comeback IMO

Well Pac said he was doing really good until the lucky punch. Lucky or not that is what Pac thinks so I doubt it will affect him in any way if all he thinks was silly luck. He is still better than Bradley and Marquez.

Lets be honest, if Pac decided to never fight Marquez he would be nothing.

He's already been knocked out before and came back stronger.
Being beaten up would have been more detrimental to him than getting KO'ed cold after pressing the fight; he thinks JMM just got lucky, so his confidence is still there.

I'd be more worried about Donaire after the Rigo fight, that basically put all he knows about boxing into question after that performance.

good points especially with roy idk but i still wouldnt bet on rios. pac has a lot of experience im sure he's gonna try his best not to take any flush shots.

im confident he's gonna win this fight but it's boxing you never know.

Not sure if serious

I can only think one boxer that became better after being KTFO. and thats John Ruiz but he became a boring fighter who grabs and holds. I dont see Pacquiao fighting any other way.

BTW lots of fighter that get knocked out like that says that it was a lucky punch. But most of them are never the same.

When he first got Koed he was young and that was from a body blow. being knocked out by marquez was different though and suffering a concusion like that has lasting effects IMO.
