    Brandon Rios is a WAY tougher comback fight for Pac than Guerrero was for Floyd

    Brandon Rios is taller, same reach, higher KO percentage, and only one loss.

    Guerrero is shorter, blown up lightweight who looked Flabby at 147, 1 loss, 1 draw and 2 no contests.....

    Yet all the Floyd fans are quickly scurrying about claiming that if Pac doesn't KTFO Rios before 7 rounds he is a bum who should retire

    So why wasn't Floyd being held to the same standards when he fought a blown up lightweight who had 2 wins against 2 bums at 147? Don't even bring up the weight thing Robert and Brandon most probably rehydrate to the same weight and with a strength and conditioning coach he'll probably have more functional mass than Guerrero had at 147..

    Rios is unorthodox, taller, great chin, non stop tenacity, never gets discouraged when he's getting beat up like Guerrero, and hits harder.

    Looks like the Floyd fans are lining up yet more reasons to discredit Manny if he manages to win this tough fight

    Guerrero's WW resume > Rio's WW resume. And RG's resume at the weight was total shit and overrated.

        Becuase to floyd fans (cause they are not boxing fans) everything revolves around floyd so they honestly think Guerrero is a tougher fighter then Rios cause all they know about boxing is floyd and the people floyd fought no one else.

          ^^ It was a long layoff and Guerrero was basically a tuneup fight.

          Not to mention ''Brandon has a stellar amateur record of 230-35.In 2004 Ríos became the U.S. National Amateur Featherweight champion, he was also a United States Olympic alternate at 125 lbs''

          The excuses have already begun....Floyd's groupies beginning to discredit what would be a very good win for Pacquiao against a very tough opponent While Floyd does the stanky leg against old men and hasn't KO'd a fighter legitimately in 6 years aside from the pint sized blown up light welterweight Ricky Hatton

            Exactly Floyd's groupies have their tactics that they implement for every fight lmao....they big up his cherry picks and criticize Pac's opponents and claim if he doesn't KO them he's finished

              Floyd has never been put to sleep like manny

              so yes rios is a tougher comeback fight considering manny was put to sleep,,,,

              If manny was still on a hot streak, rios and ghost are about the same,, mauling fighters with little hope of beating elite guys like floyd and manny

                Honestly, I think Ghost would have a good chance of outboxing Rios....he's no worse than Alvarado in my eyes
                Rios would have absolutely no chance against Floyd, and if Manny is still Manny, he'll light him up

                  The ghost was not Floyds comeback fight.

                  If the ghost was his comeback fight everyone is.

                  He only retired once and his fight back was JMM and he is head and shoulders above rios

                    What a way to start.
