Comments Thread For: Rios Humbled: Pacquiao is Difficult To Box Against

[kozone]

Brandon Rios didn't seem humble after the fight. That guy needs to go read a book or pay someone to read him a book. I want Brandon Rios to fight Adrien Broner. That'll be a funny fight to watch.

That would be a good fight with a lot of **** talking!! Ruslan vs rios would be a good fight...question who goes backwards?!!

There is only one fight that matters and that for Pac is Mayweather JR.

After that he can avenge the fault of the judges by whuppin Bradley AGAIN.

and he can whup JMM again although I am getting the feeling JMM knows its over for him and that shot won't come again EVER for him in another hundred fights with Pac.

When you think about it Pac has whupped JMM three times, was robbed in the very first fight by judges in that first round.

OH oh sorry this is a Rios thread, my mistake. I will always like Rios for his straight ahead bulldog style with a game heart. That will never beat the top tier fighters and PAC is top tier.

Glad he admitted the truth.

Uncle Bob will not risk Manny against Floyd. Never wanted to, never will. Bob knows whatsup.

Let's put it to rest.

No surprise that Rios struggled, he cannot handle dynamic movement. Almost needless to say that the drums will once again begin to beat for Mayweather/Pacquiao 4 years after its sell by date.

Exactly what I wanted to say. Pacquiao doesn't have the stamina anymore for a sustained 12 round attack. This fight was suppose to happen 4 years ago, regardless of whos fault it is.

I'd guess it would still be an amazing fight. Perhaps even better now, if Manny really is a smarter fighter now. Have not seen all of them, but I don't think Floyd has faced anyone like Manny. Would be interesting to see how each would respond to the other.

How do you you figure floyd hasn't faced anyone like pac???? Pac can't hurt floyd and for dam sure he can't out box floyd. Pac fans are deceived if they think pac can survive a beating vs floyd. And floyd is stronger, faster, a better boxer and a better counter puncher than jmm. I dont see how pac has a chance.

So many in this forum use to say that this smart and technique box style is synonym of running for others boxers like Cubans for instance (Rigondeaux, Lara etc). This is the way to win over a more stronger guy like Rios is. Of course, when the names are Pacquiao or Mayweather the ones to "run" there's not a problem but a Cuban is a "runner". Those Mexicans (Rios, Angulo) needs to go to 101 class and learn how to box. Most of they don't know how to box and only uses their extraordinary physical advantages that the tacos and chile seems to bring. For me a face like Rios is unnecessary, just like the one angulo had after he fought Lara. Those guys with a good trainer and another style, with this physicals resistance could be extraordinary fighters, the bests.

I dont know where u been. But these pac clowns have been calling floyd a runner forever. Just because you know how to box does not make u a runner. The tacos and chile bit was unnecessary.

rios got lucky. pacquiao just didn't want to slug it out like he used to. the pacquiao version that fought marquez the 4th time would have tko'd rios

GTFO!!!!!!! Im sick and tired of pac fans making sad excuse after sad excuse. If pac could have tko'd rios he would have but unfortunately he didn't have the skill set to finish rios. I want to see pac vs zab judah. There is a reason they haven't made this fight. And its not because they are afraid for zabs health. Zab is as fast if not faster than pac. And zab can box and has good lateral movement and counter punching skills. Zab would give pac a hard time and at best ko pac, at worst make him look really bad.

Rios is what he was before last night -- a B+ level guy, strong and tough who knows how to punch but slow and no defense -- was brought in to make Manny look better than he really is at this point to generate big bucks for a lot of people down the road....

This same Zab that got KOed by Cotto? The same Zab that got stopped in 5 vs Khan? The same Zab that lost to Joshua Clottey? Carlos Baldomir? Cory Spinks? GTFOH!!!

..."And is why Floyd Coward Mayweather will never fight Manny"

foot speed
angles
hand speed
and precise punching power.

You cannot should roll your way to victory against Manny Pacquaio. You have to beat him up. Or stop him. In order to so you have to take a beating and ...get lucky. Or out box him. Its hard to dictate a pace with someone in your face throwing crazy punches round by round.

sorry Floyd....you just cant beat Manny! :ANWOD:

[Respect Power]

Yeah but everything he said he should of already known and probally did deep down inside.
