Reason why Alvarado didn't get the Pacquiao fight

[HanzGruber]

Pretty interesting. Kinda hard to believe he would skip a meeting for a multi million pay day but whatever. If true dude is spiraling down

[DARKSEID]

Rios almost knocked alvarado out twice.

Can you imagine what Pacquiao would do to him? Nobody wants to watch a 4-5 round beatdown. We want to see at least a 9 rounder, full of drama.

Rios can take a punch and give back what he takes.

Mike didnt want none of the Pacman, Alvardo is intelligent enough to know his limits and to be frank I dont think he really wants to be that top guy he just wants to make some money and leave the sport intact.

Alvarado missed those negations on purpose, he is afriad of the Pacman.

The only other time I've seen a ref pull that was miguel cotto vs yuri foreman kinda Bs but at least now we don't have hear the early stoppage stuff

[wonder187]

And the real reason Mile "HIGH"MIke didn't get pacquaio is because ******* is a hell of a drug

[ottocon860]

Alvarado may be one of those self destructive personalities. Even how the Ruslan fight ended was strange, there are just people out there that can't deal with success or take hold of opportunity. Hope he doesn't begin a downward spiral

[SlySlickSmooth]

Alvarado had an injury lol.

[mrpizza-nd_beer]

Hometown hero. One time champ. Self destructed in the face of success. I'm talking about Pavlik. I'm sure Alvarado has more functioning brain cells.

[Evol]

no its because Rio is a punch bag with no chance of doing anything against Pacquiao

seeing how mike did against ruslan yea mike would have put a beating on pac. good thing top rank cherry pick pillow fisted rios for pac instead.

The winner of Rios/Alvarado I was supposed to fight Pac on 4/20. Rios knocked Alvarado out but Pac go brutally KO's so Rios didn't get his opportunity.

So instead Rios gives Alvarado another shot and loses.


Rios/Alvarado are tied 1-1. Neither guy deserves it any more over the other because they both have wins over each other.
