Rios is no Margarito

I believe Rios. Alvarado prolly punches harder but Pacquiaos speed precise volume punching is what messed up Rios face.

As in Margarito had actual balls and actually tried as opposed to Brandon... right? I hope it is a compliment to Margarito.

Damn when u put it in that perspective u got to give it up for Margarito... Even Cotto and Mosley ended up running away from Pac

I think the punching bag comment really threw Rios off his game. Rios is a go head first brawler and is pretty successful at wearing his opponents down with that style. It was a big mistake to try and box pacquiao. Rios concentrated too much on trying to prove everyone wrong rather than try and fight how he normally fights.

His face is all lumped up and he cried in a post fight interview. Nuff said.

[Respect Power]

He might be telling the truth but if Brandon would of let his hands go instead of covering up all night he wouldn't be able to say that. I'm sure manny's punches didn't hurt as much since Brandon's gloves were cushioning most of the blows

[chargerhemi06]

He was pushing his punches forward more than loading up, watch the fight again and u'll see what I mean. He used to didn't of this in the pass and I think it's because he's still cautious and playing it safe.

I noticed that too when he would lead with his left hand. It was kind of weird because he usually punches with a snap to it. But I think he was trying to get Rios to open up his guard so he can throw a right hook and then turn him.

Rios is so slow and average as a fighter and a lousy person uncouth and vulgar.Same as his trainer the inept Garcia the stuffed midget burrito who breeds hatred in his boxing camps.

Quit hating on Garcia. Pacquiao wouldve been a great fighter without Roach anyways Roach is lucky his gym was first gym Pac walked into.

Whatever Rios...Your Face Looked Like Pacquiao Took A Baseball Bat To You!!!

Who cares who hit harder... the fact remains, Rios never won a round, was knocked down in the second round, and Pacquiao's ring generalship, froze you like a deer in the headlights. If you wouldn't let your hands go for fear of being countered, then what difference does it make if you're countered, if 'there's nothing on Pacquaio's punches'... 'if Alvarado hits harder than Manny'... why not unleash your hands, walk thru Manny's pity-pat punches if that's how you felt they were delivered, and deliver your own knock out punch. AT LEAST Marquez got his face sliced & diced up, knocked down & behind on all cards, out of gas, ate a plethora of punches that hurt like h***, to deliver his Hail Mary... It sounds like Pacquiao's punches packed more thump than you want to give credit for, if you're unwilling to let your hands fly, throw caution into the wind, and eat punches to deliver yours... so shut up, and go back to fighting B-level fighters or guys that hit like Paulie Mags....
