      We don't know how Rios's power is at 47 because he really couldn't land clean against Pac. I think he should stick to 47 get the rematch with Alvarado at 47. Too much cutting for him to go back to 40 imo.

          I would say that Pacquiao's chin has not been tested, yet. I need to see straight punches, hooks, looping over hand rights, uppercuts land cleanly on this dude in order to make an assessment. So far, Pacquiao looks good, but Rios really didn't provide much of a challenge. Pacquiao was not threatened in there and carried this dude for like 5 or 6 rounds.

            I don't think Pacquiao has his chin 100% back but I think he'll be ok. It's just hard to imagine a fighter's chin can get back to 100% after such a brutal KO. However, I think it's still decent as shown in the Rios fight.

              Rios made Alvarado dance with jab at 140

              Hes way stronger now and hit Pac a couple of times and Pac was fine

              Pac's chin is A but use to be A+

                WOW! with these people, dayum, what do you really want, for PACQUIAO to offer his chin so Rios can test it with helluva shot? Of course hell not let it happened, he wouldnt want to commit the same mistake again. Manny knows Manny learns you know. He said he committed a mistake so he was avoiding it, it shows Mannys smart contrary to some idiots was saying. ...and... tell me is Manny one dimensional? points for points, with mannys combo and body attacks displayed recently i reaaly believe hes a chance against floyd.

                  Pac was fine. Rios hit him with good enough shots that if Pac's chin was cracked, he would have gone down.

                    According to HBO Punch stat, Paquiao been hit on the chin three times. For me to answer a question clearly, one must be hit clearly on the hit to see if he is able to take it.

                      Seemed solid. Don't think he's as willing to walk through fire as he was back when he fought Cotto for example, but there was no evidence that it was cracked either. Rios is pretty heavy handed so it was a good test.
