    Jesus christ? You think Mayweather could stop Rios? GTFO and never come back.

      Brandon would probably give Floyd a tougher fight.

      Styles make fights anyways.

      Marquez KTFO Pacquiao

      Marquez gets embarrassed by Floyd.

        It wouldn't matter. Rios is tailor-made for Floyd too. Floyd would throw and land less punches than Manny threw and landed against Rios, but i think he would land at higher percentage and wouldn't take those unnecessary rabbit blows on the inside that Rios landed against Manny.

          If styles make fights...

          Floyd wins all rounds, or TKO ref stoppage.

            Yes, I do. It's called accuracy and precision. If you knew anything about boxing, you would know that no defense + accuracy and precision = knockout or stoppage. Remember, Floyd is a sharp shooter. Rios style is made for someone like Mayweather. Please learn some things about boxing before you post.

              I also think Ghost and Canelo would give Manny tougher fights than the ones they gave Floyd. I honesly expected Manny to KO rios inside 7 rounds but it seems Manny has lost some of that killer instinct.

                Rios is too iron chinned to by KOd by Floyd. Style or not. I called it at the end of the first I said if rios doesn't engage this will be a decision and it was unfortunately. That's just how it'd be against Floyd a decision loss only Floyd would lose more rounds than manny because rios would be the aggressor and steal a few unlike against Manny when he backed up virtually the whole fight.

                  Guerrero might be killed against Manny.

                  Canelo would be more competitive than vs Floyd but manny would still win.

                  Styles make fights and Floyd sitting back against rios would let him win a couple of rounds. No one ever said he'd win just that rios would win more rounds.

                    I think your wrong here.... Floyd doesnt knock anyone out.... Rios defense is decent, Once he starts to get hit he will either bundle up and lose a decision or he will say damn mayweather punches dont hurt and he will go all out and still loses a decision... Either way cant see a knock out

                      How exactly do you think Rios would steal those rounds? Guerrero and Canelo had subtle moments in rounds against Floyd, and it wasn't enough and i consider those two guys to be better fighters than Rios on a skill set level. How would Rios win? It's not like he's a southpaw who'd make Floyd a bit uncomfortable on the inside, Rios just there to throw slow punches and there to be hit all night. A walking punching bag.
