is rios terrible or is pacquio just that good?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Rios is god awful.

The end.

Pac vs Clottey had more fireworks.

[kardsufur]

Rios is slow and plodding and not in the correct weight class. He fought mainly at 135. He fought only 2 fights at 140 and lost his last fight against Alvarado. Pac should of stopped him within 6 rounds. Wasn't impressed at all.

you weren't impressed because a natural 106lber couldn't stop a natural 135lber? you are a moron

Manny is good but Rios is just not good at all. He is another Margarito. A iron chin with a lot of stamina. Rios is just a Margarito.jr though. Rios has not foot movement/mobility. He has no real technical skills. He fights in a straight line. He is pretty slow. Am I missing something?

Rios is what you get when you take Margarito, rob him of his range, and stamina, and make him less intelligent.

This was the first time Rios lost this many rounds. It just proved that Pac is still on a higher level than most world championship-calibre boxers int he world.

Pac is a great fighter, that shouldn't be debated. Is he what he was before? No but he showed he still has enough left to be mentioned at the top of the sport. Rios is god awful...keep him with other B fighters to keep good shows coming.

[any craic lad?]

Rios is not terrible he is a too tough good puncher with stamina who comes forward but he is very limited in boxing skills so perfectly matched for Manny.Too me this justs shows Manny is still a very good past prime fighter throw him in against Tim Bradley and we see Manny struggle a bit.Personally i'd love to see Manny retire now but it won't happen

[QballLobo]

Rios is just that bad. Manny is not done but his handlers need to be careful about match making to keep him winning.

[Grimgash]

you weren't impressed because a natural 106lber couldn't stop a natural 135lber? you are a moron

Pac isn't a natural 106 lber...he's at this point a natural 147 lber, his last multitude of fights have been there.

[MoneyMayFan]

Rios got outboxed by alvarado. That should tell it all

[RiC-DiC]

Brandon's just a C-grade fighter. Manny's on another level. Not on Floyd's level, but a solid B-grade fighter.
