    Give Pac a breather for Goshs sake. Pac fought JMM, Bradley and JMM back to back. Hes just been ko'ed as well. Rios for a comeback is a tough fight and Pac beat Rios better than anyone ever has or likely will.

    So what did Floyd prove by beating Guerrero? Floyd was favourite wasn't he, and Guerrero wasn't the best fighter Floyds ever fought.

      Did you, in your words "give Floyd a breather" for beating Guerroro or did you critisize him?

          Floyd had a habit of fighting once every 2 years so he don't need a breather, he also don't fight p4p fighters as much as Pac as regularly, so while Pac should be given a breather, Floyd needs more work in his in tray.

            it wasnt so much about how much manny has decline it was more so to see where manny is at after that ko and rios is the perfect one to test pac out.

              Manny proved that he is still an elite level prizefighter who will dominate anybody who isn't named Marquez.

              He showed that even after the KO he doesn't belong on the B or C level of boxing, but that he is an A level fighter.

                thats not entirely true...........pac said that rios hurt him pretty badly to the chin (i don't see how because rios didn't really land anything explosive or hard on pacs chin)

                but pac claims that he was badly hurt.............

                his chin and punch resistance obviously is not all there..........

                    Someone like Rios? Gotta love these so called 'boxing fans'. Rios is a decent fighter and deserves way more respect than he's getting from...well, floydiots basically, and they dont know very much about the sport at all.

                      Sure he did. He proved that he's still about the same exact guy he was in 2011-2012, a very very good fighter who just got caught against Marquez, in a fight he was winning handily aside from one earlier KD.

                      I wish Manny was able to fight contenders like Guerrero, Alexander, and others at 147, and show against more legit opposition at the weight that he's still a damn good fighter.

                      He's basically the same guy he was in 2011-2012, IMO.
