Does anyone really give Rios a shot to be Pacquiao?

In this sport anything can happen, PAC has been off awhile too.

***** happens. I didn't give Darchinyan a chance in hell with Donaire and he almost pulled it off. Donaire wasn't coming off being starched either. Rios can fight. But unless Pac's chin's cracked, Rios should be built for Pacquiao to beat the crap out of.

You forget Hectari. Hectari and Warrios are the two-man Rios fanclub.

Cmon now lol

[ADP02]

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

Do I need to explain it to you? I guess I do. Larry said that "Arum is aware of Rios's shortcomings" and that is why the fight was made.

Well, Larry being a big Floyd fan should realize by now that Floyd cherry picks his opponents by taking on a fight where there is high reward and relatively low risks. Before the fight, worse comments were coming from the Floyd team. All I did was state the facts. Those were statements that came from Floyd and his team ..... NOT ME!!!

Now Manny is having a comeback fight but "Money Team" poster, in this thread and others don't bring that up. Nor does he realize Floyd's cherry picks.

Well be happy Cotto wasn't going to make himself available to be weight drained so Manny had no choice but to pick Rios. Hopefully another light weight cherry pick puts Manny to sleep again and retires this hypejob

Every fighter has a chance. I say rios' is about 20% or less

Nooooope...if he pulls the upset, I'll try to be the first to say I was wrong...I just don't see a smaller version of Margarito not getting the same if not worse, treatment!! No matter what you spin you Pac fans try to put on this fight...Rios is tailor made for what Pac brings to the table.

I think it's more a question of how prepared Manny is. He looks pretty good, tbh. I think he easily takes down Rios.
