Did the Brandon Rios win really bring this much hype back to Pac?

[PAC-BOY]

I mean...it's Brandon Rios.

Did you see how masterful he looked?

Did Ortiz make Floyd look good?
Guerrero?
Canelo?

Will Khan?

I mean who the *** are they? Isnt Floyd the best P4P fighter? I mean his opponents...

Well what can you do if mayweather keeps coming up with silly excuses not to fight him and keeps name dropping him on twitter. If pac is so harmless now, why not fight him, earn a record payday and put him out of his misery? Pac maniacs drum up hype but floyd and floyds fans bashing only ad fuel to the hype. Tired of him, then beat him. Should be easy, right?

If you really want my opinion on that, then all I can say is, they need to work out something between their promotions or Pac just needs to leave Arum. I believe the top guy shouldn't chase a fighter. If the challenger wants to fight the top guy, then HE needs to chase. And by chase, I don't mean say you want the fight but extend his TR contract. But that's a whole different topic.

My point of this thread is Pac lost to Bradley (even though it was a robbery) and got knocked out my Marquez. Defeating Brandon Rios doesn't outshine those 2 facts. If Pac wants to fight the top guy, then I guess Rios is a good first step. But judging from the threads I see on this board, that seemed to be the only step required to get the top guy. I mean, be honest. That's a little too easy don't you think?

Obviously it did, despite the poor PPV numbers...Guys like me pick on Pac quite a bit, but he is still a big hero where it counts. It absolutely brought some confidence back for not only him, but people who look up to him as well.

[Pacquiao'd]

Remember when Pac got KO'd and everyone was like, "That's it! Dat chin is cracked, son. Pac is finished. He need to retire!"

People like to overreact.

It's just boxing.

Brandon was knocking PAC and around the ring pretty hard in the first couple rounds and PAC is still wide open for the right

I guess the quality of his opponents depends on who you're asking and what they're willing to accept and not accept. For instance, if I asked you what you thought about his Mosley win, you would probably say Mosley was past his prime or whatever. But if I ask someone else, they might say, "Shane was the top welterweight at the time and he was the guy to beat." I can accept both opinions. He was past his prime, but at the same time, he was the guy to beat at the time also. I doubt you will accept the latter.

And in my opinion, I do believe Mayweather did look masterful in his performance against Ortiz, Guerrero, and Canelo.

The hype that is putting him in the same sentence as Mayweather again. I mean, beating Brandon Rios should maybe put you up there to the Maidana area. Not the best guy in the sport area. Or is it because it's Pacquiao?

When Khan is in the same sentence with Mayweather, Pacquiao being in the same sentence is hardly outrages.

I didn't see any decline in the Marquez fight and I didn't see any decline in the Rios fight. He just got caught by Marquez. Shit happens. Outside of Lara, Pacquiao is still a better opponent for Mayweather than anyone else you can think of.

And instead of acting as if the Bradly robbery is some type of black mark on Pacquaio, it should be taken as what it actually is, one of the best wins for Pacquiao (or anyone else) in recent years.

It was a big success in what it set out to do: Get the Pacman engine running again. Remember his fanbase just want to see him beat up someone, and it doesn't matter who it is. Hell, put a face on a punching bag and let Pac tear that ish up and watch the crowd go wild.

it was more than a big success.....

someone so big in boxing went wild about it

in a very negative way

[thuggery]

People starting to pressure Floyd to stop ducking Pacquiao again is due to increased Pac hype? I'm almost positive it's something all boxing fans want, but who knows?

[KING MEAT]

what hype?

that pactrads was just overjoyed like it was the second coming of hesus.

one of my buddies almost cried when he won and was going bat sht the entire fight. i almost didnt want to be friends with him anymore. I just sat there like yup.

I already addressed all those issues. I've already said Khan doesn't deserve it and the Bradley fight was a robbery.

And I don't care how well you perform from rounds 1-11. If you get careless, then you get knocked out. That's just the beauty of the sport.
