The reason Pacquiao did not knock out Rios?

B

[joesaiditstrue]

A) He wanted him to endure a 12 round beating.

B) He wanted to see more of the Top Rank girls.

C) He needed more rounds to shake of the rust from being off a year.

D) He didn't want to scare off Mayweather AGAIN.

E) All of the above.

F) Rios is a durable fighter, and Manny isn't known for stopping guys, that's just something fans jumped onto after he put Hatton to sleep, and an over the hill Oscar didn't get off his stool, since then he's been happy to go 12 rounds

Cotto was a 12th round ref stoppage

Bradley, Nope
Marquez, Nope
Mosley, Nope
Margarito, Nope
Clottey, Nope
Rios, Nope

I just think Manny was happy to just use his hand speed and footwork to just box the ***** out of Rios and coast to a victory, no need to really step down and try to KO Rios. The ring was huge and PAC was able to move around all night and land good solid punches but at no point in the fight did I think Rios was in trouble of being KO. I don't think there's to many fighters 140-147 that could go toe to toe with Rios but a decent fighter can outbox him easily.

He tried to knock Rios out it just didn't happen. It's always funny when people say he didn't look for a KO because he's too nice or some other crazy reason. If he's too nice to knock people out he should stop fighting. Rios just wasn't getting knocked out last night. Pacquiao actually fought a very smart fight. No reason to make excuses for why he didn't get a KO.
