Does anyone really give Rios a shot to be Pacquiao?

[Iceta Lives]

I really don't know about this one. Rios is better than what people give him credit for. His style is a lot like Margarito's but he has better hand speed and he is a better boxer than he gets credit for. He beat down Adrian Peterson which was a little impressive.

The sad thing about this fight, if Rios does win people won't give him credit and will just say Pac is shot.

i know Pac is better in every way but I gotta go with the Hi-Power Soldier on this one, and I will take up to 3 bets (of 33millions each) that Rios beats Pac, although I like Pac more, I want to support the homie Rios this one time! pm me if interested.

Yes, of course, Manny's chin could be shot to shit for all we know.

Paul Williams was knocked out cold by Martinez with one mighty punch in almost the exact same way Pacquiao was knocked out by Marquez. In his next fight he was hit with many flush powerful punches by good puncher Lara and he took them well and his chin seemed as good as ever.I think a fighter's ability to take hard head punches would be hurt more be a bad beating over many rounds than it would by a one punch knock out loss. The vicious beating Trinidad gave David Reid, Mayorga and Vargas seemed to badly hurt their ability to take a punch in future fights. I think Pacquiao's chin will be about the same as it was in his last fight with Marquez. If Rios can hit him when Pacquiao is rushing in and hit him as hard and as perfectly as Marquez hit him then he will knock Pacquiao out again. I think the chances of that happening are very slim. It's much more likely that Pacquiao proves his superiority by beating the hell out of Rios and wins by KO.

Hell Arum told you why Rios got the damn fight on 24/7 "he comes forward and loves to fight"

Rios is a ******,plodding 1 dimensional fighter...if Manny somehow loses to him he doesnt ever need to look at a pair of boxing gloves again because he would be beyond shot

are you comparing Canelo to Rios??? the guy was outboxed by Abril for god sake

[Pacquiao'd]

Yes. This is boxing

[Pez]

Rios has a chance, just not a good one. If he hits Pac with the kind of shot he gave Peterson or Antillon, he has a good chance for a stoppage.

[joesaiditstrue]

Rios struggled with and lost to Abril and Alvarado, he has zero chance against even a faded Pacquiao

So long as Manny comes into this fight in top shape and prepared to go 12 rounds, I see Robert Garcia throwing in the towel or a RTD by the 10th round

[RINGG]

It is a very risky fight for Pacquiao after the last fight. I wouldn't have minded if he took an easier comeback fight.
