What do you guys think about Pacquiao's chin now?

[Telepath]

The guy had been knocked out a couple of times so clearly his chin is crackable. Don't know what's so hard to understand about that. It's seemed to get better with age though, but still not iron clad. I think however that he is very physically durable and not likely to get worn down unless he's completely outclassed. It takes a murder punch to finish him off.

pac was real cautious with rios and didnt want to exchange with him.

his chin is mentally cracked.

I agree, he did say post fight interview that he was hurt by one of Rios' punches.

[JaguaresMx]

yeah. mentally not there. Very hesitant to engage. Remember the Pac that tasted Cottos power on ourpose? gone.

good enough for floyd or bradley. A hook from lucas, garcia, or JMM and its over.

[pnksntdead]

maybe not as great as before but still pretty good. He got shook a ciuple times but recovered fast.

Disappointed by Manny tonight...

He barely countered and the punch bursts that used to be so frequent were less and less in this fight.

From his post-fight interview, he insinuated to be being more cautious. As if he were worried about Rios' weak and inconsistent counters... Really Pac!?!?!?

The pre-Margarito Manny would've been setting Rios up for counters and shooting combinations as often as possible especially after he saw that Rios wasn't fast enough to consistently counter him. The KO might not have effected him physically, but it damaged him mentally. That cautious Manny probably loses to Marquez again and opens the door to Bradley being able to outwork him in a rematch.

I believed he was iron chinned before the Marquez KO. I definitely think it holds up but I don't think he's mentally as confident and is very weary of that incoming punch now. Lets not forget at 135 Rios could hurt you bad, at 140 he had power but not devastating. I don't think he carried much to 147. Pacman was tested but I don't think he'd take a true 147 power punch well.

i dont understand why people think rios is stronger at lower weights when some complain he looks drained at 40.

at 47 some still say hes still drained.

dude weighed 159 tonight.

I did see Manny trying to setup counters but really Rios was not willing to open up. Pac did what he had to do and what many/most expected.

Naturally the bigger man. Gives him the edge in a division where he fought some 130 fighters moving up to 135. I don't think he's very drained at 147, I just don't believe he's got much power there. He should drop to 140 if not it's 147 or 154 where he'll be severely outgunned for the most part.
