Floyd vs Rios would be closer

[shacasulu]

Mayweather embarrassed THE MAN THAT KILLED PACQUIAO

SO WHATS YOUR POINT?

Floyd takes rounds off and rios would get a round or 2 there. Plus Floyd is a slow starter and rios could steal 1 there. Are you saying its inconceivable for Floyd to lose a round? Because he's had 2 SD's.

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.

So, you are saying that Manny is a better boxer than Floyd? This seems to be what you are saying, since you think Rios would have more success against Floyd than Rios. Manny beat Rios by boxing him. If you saw Rios strategy for this fight, he literally had no offense from a distance, and was desperate to make it an inside fight. Mayweather has a beautiful jab, and would easily keep Rios at a distance, bro. Rios is the kind of fighter who has to keep resetting once he gets hit with something. Mayweather would easily outbox a slow plodder like Rios. Like I said, no defense from Rios coupled with Mayweather's accuracy and precision results in a knockout win for Mayweather. Trust me, this style is made for Mayweather. The problem with Manny is that he throws a lot, but he has no accuracy.

Oh you mean the Floyd that fought the 135 lbs JMM fighting for the first time about lightweight and Floyd came in over the contract weight. Yes I'm talking about that cherry pic... I mean yes that guy.

Rios can walk though punches and Manny hits harder than Floyd so he'd walk through his shots too. Rios is all about instead fighting and Floyd likes to take rounds off by leaning on the ropes. That's where I see rios winning a few rounds.

Again before you tards have an aneurism Floyd would beat rios. I just think rios would take at least 2 rounds off him probably 3.

LMAO Marquez himself is on record saying he would never beat Floyd at any weight class at any age. He is just too good against him and Marquez knows this. He doesnt even watch a rematch.

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.

No, he wouldn't. Against Marquez, Floyd basically let Marquez threw a bunch of late rounds flurries after Floyd had landed all the cleaner and better punches in that exact round, and Marquez still didn't won that round and didn't round a round in that fight.

What makes you think that a slow walking bag who telegraph his punches would steal a couple of rounds against a guy who's undoubtedly a superior defensive fighter than Pacquiao? Canelo is head-and-shoulders above Rios when it comes to defense and boxing techniques and i only had him winning one round against Floyd.

Maybe cause styles make fights. But rios wasn't even throwing back at PAC. It's was pretty pathetic

Yeah very dissapointing. Rios took the $4m and is probably getting wristys at the asian saunas as we speak.

Floyd was 32 when they fought. If he fought rios he'd be 37. 5 years is a long time in boxing so you can't compare the ages. For example a younger Floyd walks through Guerrero but the older Floyd only wins by decision.

You just don't get it. The more Rios would open up the more openings he would create for Floyd to land counter shots and pivot out. Sure, Floyd doesn't punch as hard Manny, but he knows how to neutralize his opponents best weapons. It's irrelevant to say that Rios would steal a couple of rounds against Floyd that way when better crafty and intelligent fighters like Canelo and Guerrero had hard times winning rounds against Floyd.
