    Does anyone really give Rios a shot to be Pacquiao?

    Besides Warrios; is there anyone who truly believes Manny is going to be defeated by Brandon Rios? Rios arguably lost to Abril, couldn't adjust to Mike Alvarado and is one dimensional showing little or no head movement. How many people give him a shot?

    And to be blunt, he sounds punch drunk already and just doesn't have the IQ to beat Manny. I can't find a single thing to trouble Pacquiao about Rios.

      I think rios has a decent shot,, manny is favored and rightfully so,, but this could come out like jones vs glen johnson after jones had been iced by tarver,,

      rios is going to test manny, and if manny isnt the same after the ko, then rios is the one guy that will expose it,,,

      I honestly have never seen a top guy in his mid 30s get put to sleep, literally put to sleep and comeback and be on the mountain top again,,, guys have been ko'd before and gone on to have good careers, i just dont think i have ever seen a guy get put to sleep comeback and dominate,,,

      I think rios is a very live underdog in this fight

        Hahahahha :lol:

        I mean unless Juan cracked Mannys chin ( I don't think he has ) then Rios is really ****ed and I'm not even trying to talk **** but his mental health is a real concern.

        It's not as if Manny was taking a beating and THEN ktfo6. He was winning the fight, and Juan looked the most vulnerable he has ever been in rounds 5&6

            I understand 100% where you're coming from. But if Pacs chin isn't cracked, Rios is going to get hurt

              On analysis, and actually breaking down the fight, no, absolutely not.

              But I just have this gut feeling that Rios MIGHT pull off some type of 1 shot miracle KO.

              Don't underestimate what that JMM KO did to Pacquiao. You never know.

              Just like Glen Johnson was a tune up fight for Roy.

                  oh for sure,, if manny aint damaged goods, he does to rios like he did david diaz and hatton, It will no be a long fight, but until i see that manny is fine, i have to consider rios a live underdog,, thats why i cant wait for this fight- to see if manny still has it or not.. reminds me of when tyson got out of prison and everyone wondering if he had it anymore,, of course he fought mcneely and not a warrior like rios

                    I do, mainly because there are no sure things in boxing, how many sure things have went the other way? When it comes to two guys in the ring one small mistake can turn the whole fight around at any time. I agree Pacquiao should be the favorite but its not guaranteed that he'll win so to me it'll still be interesting to watch.
