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

When rios beats somebody like a kosta tsyzu, and pauli then i will give him his props...

Everybody saw what abril was able to do to him,, a prime pauli that hatton fought would box the ears off rios...

Relatively easy to beat Rios from the outside. But Pacquiao won't be doing this, so Rios has a chance if he connects. Problem is, Pacquiao will connect first...and often!

Interesting that he didn't mention the Margarito fight, even though he is harping the catchweight/drained BS...
The Margarito outcome is what's waiting for Rios, lol.

He seems to be the only person on earth that doesn't get that his opponent is going in there to make two solid statements "I'm back" and "Fck You from Freddie Roach". This fight is personal for team Pacquaio and everyone but Brandon knows it.

Rios is there to be hit. The only fighter in recent memory that didn't get tattoed by Pac was Bradley. All other fighters even when Marquez knocked him out show Pac's punch effects.

Even if Pac don't knock him out he will slice him up. Pac is to fast and accurate and is not that easy to hit.

I agree but Rios will also hit Pac. I'm very interested to see what version of Pac we are going to see. That KO could have very well changed him.

if the devastating KO hasn't affected pac's punch resistance or anything else then i expect him to beat up rios as bad as he did margarito..but this time around garcia will have the sense to stop the fight.

Rios may not be the best boxer out there, but nothing I've seen from him says he'll fold from a punch. Pacquiao will literally have to knock him out or he'll have a long night. With that being said, if Pacquiao is who everyone claimed he was he should have no problem taking care of Rios. I will wait and see. As far Rios being impressed by Pacquiao wins. I wasn't impressed by the Hatton win. When you come in face first looking to grab and hold first you shouldn't be surprised when you get KO'd. The Cotto win was impressive because Cotto came to fight. He could have adjusted his game plan mid fight but he was actually trying to win. Oscar was a walking zombie who obviously didn't want to be in the ring anymore so that wasn't impressive either.

I agree but I think this will look alot like manny-david diaz....

Manny just going to spit fire and move, and and stop him by cuts and punishment....

Rios will never be the same pressure fighter after this,, unless manny becomes roy jones and rios is his glen johnson.... Then all bets are off..

LOL RIOS had me crying!!
