Comments Thread For: Rios Not Impressed By Pacquiao's Hatton, Cotto, Oscar Wins

[Fetta]

If Floyd loses, he'll retire like Trinidad and Hamed. No way can his ego handle a loss.

I think hell handle it just fine and rematch next May or Sept.

this thread should be fun to read

[Cinci Champ]

This is gonna test Pac to see where he's at.

IF Pac is worn , hurt from that KO, then he will get KO'd again

IF Pac is superman and KO's Rio's then we know he is back to some extent

ain't nobody coming back to their old self,,,,NOBODY !

This is gonna test RIOS

Two fighters that FIGHT, no ballerina act here, its blood and guts

You pretty boy lovers better not watch this fight you might not be able to handle a mans fight

wait hold the phone. if pac man knocks out rios or wins hes superman? hahahahahahahaha give me a break

[Cinci Champ]

They should name this PPV RIOS VS ROIDS

[Phil Ivey]

lol @ huge test... Pac is going to knock him out. This is a tuneup fight for Pac unless Pac is literally destroyed by that KO which I don't think will happen.

1. Rios is an idiot

2. This will be an interesting fight just for the fact that rios may be to manny what glen johnson was to roy jones... an aggressive fighter fighting a great coming off a knockout

3.Rios aint no ricky hatton,, Hatton was lineal champ by beating kosta tzysu, sorry but that tops anything rios has ever done..

4. Catchweights with manny,,, The most ****** arguments are made on this subject, Yes cotto was a catchweight, margs was a catchweight at 150 in between 154 and 147 and margs never really was a 154 fighter, he was usually always a welter, they only met at 150 to get the 154 vacant strap, fight could have easily been made at 147 but arum wanted to market manny as a 8 division champ...
Oscar thought he could regain form by going back to welter,, thats why he fought forbes at 150, the plan was to rematch floyd at welter, where oscar thought he would be faster,, Oscar called all the shots in the manny fight, weight, purses, etc... Oscar was a huge favorite and manny a huge underdog,, Now hindsight being 20/20 we all know that oscar was wrong to move back to welter, but it wasnt manny that made him do it,, it was all oscar, and since when was 147 a catchweight,,, Oscar made a miscalculation on weight just like dawson did with ward,, And unlike dawson, oscar had all the negotiating power,,, So everybody can just relax on the catch weight

5. I think rios will get david diaz'd by manny, mostly for the freddy roach jokes he made when manny was fighting margs.... KARMA A *****

This situation is very similar to when tarver ko'd jones, and jones came back with a tune-up with aggressive underdog glen johnson,,, Rios will be playing the part of Johnson,,,
I would not be shocked to see rios catch manny

but i do think manny will win by stoppage, but wouldnt shock me to see rios win

It's funny people don't give him credit for his wins. Pacman was always the underdog in my eyes since featherweight. He always looked small, even in featherweight. Would never have thought he would dare step in the ring with cotto, hatton and delahoya. Unbelievable considering when I started watching he was fighting larios in Manila.

He was a monster at featherweight

[opotemo]

He does have a long way to go.

But he is better than Hatton. Hatton was vastly overrated and won most of his fights just being tougher than the other guy. When he fought guys with some boxing skill, he looked terrible.

Rios' boxing skills are a little better and his chin is also prob a little better than Hatton.

chin yes
boxing skills no
