Does rios get credit if he beats PAC or do we just say PAC is washed up

[junior gong]

This bitch still crying because nobody wants to give Floyd credit for his fantasy win over Pacquiao hahahahah

He will never ever stop.

This is what's messed up about the whole situation.
I think Pac was a beast in the last JMM fight, but ran into a solid shot.
And what, he cant dare to be great for 36 more minutes of his life?
This is what's crazy, no matter if he is great that night and lets just say Rios dared to be extremely great that night and gave us the best win of his career, no one would notice because the excuse will be Pac is washed up.
If he loses people will say he wasn't that good.
But if Pc wins, people will say "He's better than ever!"
So he'll get no credit regardless.

If Rios wins he will be a much bigger name, will he get full credit no he certainly won't but it would still give him enough credit overall because most don't give him a chance.


Still some will take credit away but should Rios win he will be in a better place than he has ever been in his career.

Well ask yourself if the Pacquiao that fought Marquez, Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton and Cotto in 2008-2009, loses to the current Brandon Rios. And there's your answer if Rios should get credit for beating Pacquiao or is Pacquiao washed up.

Personally I think Rios might be a small notch above David Diaz. So even if Pacquiao lost a step or two, he should be able to slaughter Rios' face over 12 rounds or force a late round TKO either by Rios corner, the ref, or the doctor.

from what i read here... there is no credit for fighting fighters after a loss..haha

[Ray Corso]

He gets ALL the credit and his money too!!!!!!

I think if Rios does beat Pacquiao, it wouldn't sink in at first for those saying they'll give Rios credit. But then eventually, it will sink in that prime/peak Pacquiao would never lose to a face first brawler like Rios. In fact, this is Pacquiao's favorite style to fight against because he pretty much has to do no chasing, no attempt at cutting off (Attempt because Pacquiao can't cut off the ring for ****), no cramps. If Pacquiao has any confidence left, we should see 2003-2010 Pacquiao that night.

To Dominican Soy, I agree Rios problem is his footwork but you also forgot to mention that his defense is terrible. If you're gonna go in there with your defense being your chin against Pacquiao, your only win will be surviving 12 rounds with no facial injuries. Something Margarito couldn't even do. If Margarito had anything special, it was his chin. Margarito, Cotto, Diaz, De La Hoya, all looked like they had been jumped by multiple men after their fight with Pacquiao. I'm pretty sure this will be Rios fate.

speaking nothing but the truth


Floyd fans have 0 to cry about..Floyd is lineal at 147 and 154 and still undefeated chump

Yet, they cry .....

" ..... but Floyd was fighting with a hurt shoulder against Castillo"

"...... but Floyd had the sniffles against Cotto"

[KickAzz]

Nobody comes back from getting KTFO like that... If RJJ can't do it no one can

[JOM'S]

myself I will give rios credit but with an asterisk, so imho brando will get some credit but a lot more giving him sh_t...
