    I see a scenario in which Pacquiao punches Rios so hard and so square that he separates his torso from his limbs, thereby making him a punching bag. Or at least one of those freestanding, human-shaped BOB things.

        i predict rios will stop pac in 8 rounds.....KO or TKO..i just hope pac comes to his senses and retires rather than going on and further risking his health..
        Didn't we have a conversation about Pacquiaos chin the other day and you said a fighters chin is the last thing to go and Pacquiaos chin still looks good? What made you change your mind so quickly?

            This is good. So the Floyd/Pac debates will be gone for good. You know what that means on Floyd's legacy.

              Rios has yet to show otherwise. Every fight I've seen from him, he got his head snapped back on multiple occasions. His chin is great though

                Rios has a chance.

                Ive never seen a boxer come back from a KO like that and look really good.

                Prime pac wrecks him but this isnt prime pac were talking about

                  Rios is not a walking punching bag? Then why did Pac and company pick him as a comeback fight? What is Rios? A slick fighter? An evasive counterpuncher? No, he's a come forward fighter who takes hits to land one. A guy that Pac demolishes within 7 rounds. A walking punching bag.

                    Rios you ARE a walking punching bag. That's why would got out boxed by Mike Alvarado.

                      I honestly don't see Rios having a chance against Pac. Marg was bigger, stronger and arguably a better boxer than Rios. He couldn't do anything.

                      You could say that Pac was a different fighter then, but if he's half the fighter he was the night he fought JMM, he's going to destroy Rios.

                      I see this as a stoppage after a beating by Pac.
