Enjoy your 4 mil, Brandon.

Originally posted by Zen_Fighter View PostPac is tougher than nails. He got caught with a good shot against Marquez... that is boxing. Floyd would never engage in a war like that. Call it smarts. Pac would destroy Zab. Floyd needs to make the fight now or forever be the champ that was not brave enough to risk his zero. Floyd couldn't take out Guerrero, he couldn't take out Baldomir, he couldn't take out Cotto, blah blah... at least Pac is always trying!

Funny how everybody is saying for Mayweather to make the fight but yet they have a date already set and possible opponents lined up but yet Mayweather is ducking. Lol

Pac did exactly what he needed to do. Rios was picked to check pacs punch resistance and confidence. In many ways, Pac passed the test. But the test isn't whether or not he is the same, but whether or not he can still compete. Decline started after Margs.... call it being shopworn or lacking motivation, but Pac hasn't been the same since. Let's keep it real, Rios was a no-hoper. But this was a solid win and proves he isn't gun-shy or "ruined".
For the Pac haters, what else do u want??? 120-108. That's damn near perfection, if Floyd did the same, you guys would cream your pants. Pac played it safe to secure the win, something Floyd/rigo/wlad do all the time. If Floyd gets a pass for Guerrero, then pac easily gets a pass for Rios.
For those who dismiss this win because Alvarado did the same, don't know **** about boxing. Alvarado went life and death with Rios and resorted to prancing around keeping Rios at the end of his jab to secure the win... Pac straight up tattooed Rios all night turning Rios at will. Pacs footwork was on display last night. The only thing Rios landed was punches in clinch, and Pac LET him land those. Pac could've easily kept moving out of harms way instead.
Honestly, this fight didn't check pacs chin though.... Rios popped him a few times but nothing solid.

Originally posted by lutenco View PostRIOS was so scared to throw punches that fought most of the time like CLOTTEY did with MANNY or NARVAEZ vs NONITO;is not easy look good vs an opponent so close in defense and i've never expect RIOS to do that but he did it so that means MANNY put a lot of fear on him. Anyway i believe the old MANNY would have stopped RIOS easy,now he didn't found a way to stop him and he was ever with gloves down after the combinations,very dangerous if there's another level boxer in front him. MANNY is clearly going down the hill,sad to say but it's the damn truth.

Originally posted by Evol View PostFunny how u said top rank already have the April date set but Floyd already has May set too so who's ducking who?? Ur saying bob already have April set for PAC so this mean they're avoiding Floyd but Floyd already has may set for him so ur point?? If I recall it takes 2 person to fight. U can't set a date already then say the other team is ducking because they're setting a different date for their fighter also.
fighters do not duck each other, promoters and match makers do.
