Comments Thread For: Rios: I Will Give Pacquiao Flashbacks of Marquez KO!

[Young Money]

Pac is going to make Rios look asian by the time he is finished with him.

[dnut17]

Rios doesn't have a chance. Acosta had him in trouble not to long ago and Alvarado had him hurt. Pacquiao is still elite good tune up though.

Pac hits harder than anybody rios has ever fought. Not only that but much faster and more skilled. While pac has fought much harder punchers than rios. Cotto, margarito,and even marquez all hit harder than rios.

pac hits hard but its mostly his dpeed and dont bring cottos power bcuz he wasnt at his best in terms of power. getting weightdrained caused him to look slow as early as the third round, marg had to come down too,jmm isnt that strong he just landed the perfect punch while at same time pac was coming in

I lost 4 bills on that Cotto fight and I will stand here and say cut that weight drain bullshh out the difference in weight from one fight to the next was one single pound...Cotto weighed in 145.6lbs for Jennings, 146lbs for Clottey and 145 for Pacquaio. I'm a cotto fan but the guy cannot fight against fast handed fighters who pack a punch. So again if you had used the Margarito bout as an excuse I would've been fine with that but Miguel is a warrior and if it were an issue he wouldn't have needed to sign up..he had a belt and could've earned almost the same amount of money to fight just about anyone else at that point.

I think everyone continues to underestimate Rios. Yes I still think Pac will win but I do not see this walk in the park, easy KO everyone sees. Sure I could be wrong but I don't see it. Pac hasn't stopped anyone dramatically in years and nothing at WW at all (aside from 12th rd Cotto). That was a ref stoppage though. I do not see Pac pulling a Hatton shot on Rios. Rios hits harder and does more damage than people think. He is one tough sob too, physically and mentally. Remember Rios has problems with boxer/movers (Acosta, Abril, Mike A.). Pac is not that at all. Pac is flat footed and just bobs and weaves with angles, he does not move around great nor have great footwork. He will probably trade with Rios, which may not serve Rios well but it may not serve Pac well either. The best thing for Rios to do is stay right inside with Pac, and smother his only real punch, that left cross. Pac has never been a great body puncher nor inside fighter so that is Rios best bet. If he fights Pac at a distance and in the middle of the ring or off the ropes he is in trouble. He needs to keep his face in Pac's chest and shovel hook him to death, body/head/body, repeat. No one test's Pac's body that much and it would serve Rios well. I can tell you this, if Pac loses or barely gets by Rios he can forget any Floyd fight at any point.

eh,maybe u right about the cotto fight,but still shouldn't have been asked to come down,what for?but for him to say pac has fought guys who hit harder isn't that fair because they were asked to come down,he fought clottey at 147 but clottey admitted that he had trouble making weight and only did it because of the money,he seems to have a slight advantage with cotto I really believe that

You know what's weird about that whole situation is that Cotto didn't start complaining about weight until after he'd gotten his azz kicked and folks started saying it was due to the weight..hell Pedro to this day stand by the fact the weight wasn't the issue. Look I love Cotto but he and Marquez have one thing in common they don't handle losing well at all. Look at the Trout fight, Miguel really turned me off as a fan with that behavior. The fact is that Pacquaio hadn't made 147 once up to that point, he came in at the top of his weight for that fight at 144. Now I will say he drained the hell out of Margarito but I don't mind that one because I don't think anyone has an issue with Margarito getting the living shhh beat out of him. In my humble opinion Cotto does not belong at 154..too short and too slow for the division.
