Comments Thread For: Photos: Manny Pacquiao Looks Chiseled For Rios War

[Jack Napier]

Roach didn't help saying "win, lose, or draw, only a few fights left"
Pac didn't help saying "I won't retire even if I lose to Rios"
Pac's a proud guy, but this is a pure vanity fight
gonna be pissed if he fucks up and gets beat here
doubting either his body or his heart are really in it anymore

Well let's see he looks more cut, bigger, stronger and he's taking VADA testing..i think anyone with any level of PED mentality about him can now safely put that shhh to bed.

I see a lot of people on here saying rios will stand right in front of manny. I don't think so, this is rios biggest fight as of yet and I know for a fact rios is not gonna throw it away by being careless. In fact they even brought in gracia's pops, u really think their game plan is to stand and trade with manny?? If they were gonna do that they wouldn't need to bring in gracia's pops, rios could have figure that out on his own. 2 questions I have going into this fight is --

1. If rios decides to move (which I think he will) and decides to box PAC instead how will PAC and roach respond. Do they have a plan b? (In the pass they usually don't).

2. Once and if rios starts getting hit will he resort back to his style which is brawling or will he suck it up and find a way to out box manny?

Rios got this fight to get KTFO and thats what I think is going to happen. He doesn't have the skills or movement to deal with Manny. This fight will not be competititve.

If Rios decides to box and move, then not only is he going to lose the fight, he will lose whatever respect his fans has of him. Also expect Arum to shelve him for stinking up the fight.

You have to be a natural boxer and counter puncher to beat Pac, and even the great JMM took 4 tries to finally get a W, and guess what? he did it by standing his ground (still counter punching though).

The problem is Rio's is a brawler and can't box or move and he certainly isn't going to learn how to do so at Pac's level in one 6-8 week fight camp.
He's toast.

When did u started watching boxing?? There's no denying that pac looked great with ariza but before ariza came along PAC always had insane stamina. If anything I think pac's stamina was better before ariza but I felt ariza added the power to PAC.

After watching some of the footage of Ariza training Rios i am skeptical that he ever added anything to Manny's fighting other than grief and political bs to his fight team and training camp.

I honestly think rios is not gonna just stand there. This fight is too big for him to throw it away like that. Rios even admits that he's learned from the 2nd Alvarado fight and that is to not look for the ko. Plus like I said gracia's pops is involved in this camp, u really think they need all this extra help just so rios can stand and trade with PAC? lol.

U guys will see come Saturday, I think gracia and his pops is working on a game plan to suprise manny and roach, all I'm saying is PAC and roach Better have a plan b because if they think rios is gonna slug it out they're in for a rude awakening. Just look at PAC/Marquez 3, roach admitted that he thought Marquez was gonna come out swinging and manny will take him out, that didn't happen. People are not that dumb, gracia and his pops knows rios can't stand and trade.
