Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Brilliant In Shutout Of Brandon Rios

[GRUSTLER]

Um...what? It's pretty well documented that Floyd killed the fight every time. True fight fans, and fans of other sports are aware of it. Mayweather had NO plans of fighting Pacquiao when he was tearing through people. His combination of speed, power, movement, and energy were going to hand Floyd his first loss. No question about it. Mayweather did everything he could to come up with bogus reasons to stall, delay, and ultimately cancel the fight.

If they do fight, it will be when Manny has nothing left. His style requires a level of fitness and athleticism that decays with age. Floyd can play his defensive, single-shot style for much longer and he knows it. He will wait it out and catch Pac when he's slower and sloppier.

False.... It is well documented and has been publicized that Manny duck the fight. What the hell are you talking?

I'll ask this question one more time. Was Pac exciting last night?

Rios get demolished in a 12 round beatdown 120-108. Pretty embarrassing to talk all that crap and then do nothing on fight night. He should go back down to junior welterweight and fight Ruslan, although he'd first need to earn the shot at a title. It's back to the drawing board after this drubbing but the good things to take from this is Rios has a good chin at WW and looked to have quicker hands.

congats to pac for beating a lightweight ..........

Yeah, that's a great criticism of Pacman. I mean, Rios only outweighed him by 9lbs on fight night. Pacquiao must suck!

Why don't you answer your own question and then ask if others agree with you.

LMAO PAC went 12 rounds against a slow easy to hit Rios wtf. I also heard PAC was running the whole time.

So if you didn't see the fight, what the hell does it matter to you how the fight went.

I have people saying Floyd should fight GGG at 154. Um, OK. He wouldn't fight Pacquiao but he'd fight that beast? Please, people. #never

Rios is terrible and Robert Garcia is inept

Rios is a class D fighter no skills and slow. Robert Garcia is inept as a trainer and clueless really ill prepared for big fights. Both not good people but low class.

You're an idiot too. It's too bad you don't know more about boxing. Do your homwork, clown. Pacquiao offered Marquez TWICE the money he got for Bradley and Marquez wanted no part. Pacquiao offered the same to Bradley for a rematch and they declined. They both took less money to fight each other than a war with Pacquiao. So Rios was available and everyone in Boxing said. "Oh that's a dangerous fight for Pacquiao!" Go dig up the headlines, the articles. "If Manny can't handle the bombs of Rios, its time to retire". YOU read the headlines, idiot. So don't make this out to be some made to order opponent, just like they said about Ortiz, Guerrero & Canelo for Mayweather. To a man, this was to have been a very dangerous fight for Pacquiao, and Manny made him look juvenile, and gave him a real beat down. So shut the fuqkc up clown.

Uh, just what part of what I wrote do you consider to be idiotic? -- that they are at 2 different skill levels? -- that Rios lost his last fight? -- that Manny needs to fight more credible guys going forward? -- why don't you take a literacy course so you can read with basic comprehension?

Manny looked brilliant fighting like a coward against a blood drained heavy bag.
