    Absolutely ridiculous statement. When was the last time Floyd knocked someone out or went for the kill? Hatton? Floyd's hands would not hold up enough and he doesnt hit hard enough to hurt Rios or anyone else because of it. Unless he fights Amir Khan, everyone of his fights before he retires will most likely go the distance.

      floyd wouldve thrown less & potshotted. his % would be amazing.

      i see rios banking a few rounds on floyd though. floyd always gives up a few rounds early. the cards would be a lot closer. rios might even be able to establish a better offense on floyd. rios would eat a counter to land his shots on floyd... pac simply battered rios and didnt give him a chance to punch AT ALL.

      floyd would still dominate rios, but his lack of workrate would let rios get some work in.

        Floyd wouldn't ko Rios or even swell him that bad, but he would not have got roughed up in the early going either

          To skilled fighters. The sparring he got from a prospect Errol Spence that one camp was more than advanced than anything Rios could hope to do to him in the ring.

            Do you think that the year long layoff that Pac endured had him a little rusty In the first 3 or 4 rounds. which played a role In him getting roughed up. It seemed to me that It did take Pac 3 or 4 rounds to start moving and circling Rios, rather than just standing In front of him.

Manny put on a beautiful boxing display, landed beautiful hard combinations and was lightning fast and had good footwork, so I guess my question Is what would Mayweather have done against Rios that Pacquiao didn't or couldn't do.
                First of all, he wouldn't have fought Brandon Rios unless he had a huge following, titles, and PPV attraction.

                Secondly if they did fight, Floyd would've made Brandon miss way more shots than he did against Manny.

                  He would've fought Alvarado. Floyd hasn't fought a guy coming off a loss in 10 years.

                    thats why he fought guerrero, right? guerrero got millions of fanbase supporting him.

                    it was a successful ppv event with 600 - 650k buys.

                    gotcha, bro.
