    2nd of all to answer your ****** ***ing question...Manny was coming off a loss and the longest lay off in his career. A loss by devastating KO and a year out of the ring. Most professional prize fighters take a tune up fight. Manny fought Rios (THE GUY WHO BEAT ALVARADO ****** AND STOPPED HIM) being that all Alvarado did in the 2nd fight w/ Rios was run. Fighting the guy who beat the shlt out of Alvarado seemed like a good tune up. (since both were coming of losses) Oh...and dont know if you know this...but did you see Alvarado get the *** beat out of him by Mannys sparring partner! :WORD:
    While I certainly don't think Manny ducked Alvarado, does everyone who disagrees with you get a load of these dreaded red ks?

      Alvarado would have been stopped by the Pacman in the third round.
      I would have loved to see him against Pac, instead of Rios. Of course,
      Alvarado would have used his bike. But that would just boost Pacman's
      confidence when he sees his opponent running. He'll get bored eventually
      and decide to finish him off.

        The excuse was Alvarado's hand injury yet he wound up fighting one month before Rios vs Pacquiao. Classic Arum

No way Alvarado would take a risky fight like Rusian if a Pacquiao payday was on the table.
          What skills does Alvarado possess that would have allowed him to compete with Pacquiao If the fight would have taken place? I can't really see him being much more competitive then Rios was.

            Alvarado won his last fight, so that pretty much eliminated him from the Pac sweepstakes.

              Rios is a bigger name, and I'm guessing they thought he'd provide a more action packed fight.

                Rios is a young, hungrier version of Margs. Take Tyson's words, not mine,
                "Rios is a beast." Or Hopkins, "Pacquaio is brave to take on Rios."

                Margarito landed some good shots on pacquiao, rios didn't do ****. And why did you bring Floyd into the thread. No one was even talking about him

                  Rios did just a tad bit better!

                      LMAO!! Owned the crap out of him.

                      Also, Rios doesn't get on a bicycle and run like a sissy, something Alvarado does frequently. Nobody wants to see a running sissy in a PPV event.
