Why doesn't PAC's win over Rios get as much as Floyd's over Guerrero's?!?

[SilverMiles]

Rio, Maidana, and Guerrero are all on the same level. But the only thing that would convince some of these guys is if they all fought one another. I promise you each of the fights would be close with each man taking their fair share of damage.

Making up stories? You know what happened in the fight. Chaves was up on the cards and got disqualified cos Rios kept crying to the ref like a girl, despite fighting equally as dirty as Chaves.

Chaves lost the same way RJJ lost to Griffin in their first meeting.

You clearly lack common sense.

No, those fights were completely different...


Get over yourself dude..

Berto was a undefeated WW at the time and was WC , Guerrero won in a fight of the year type performance , Guerrero was unbeaton in 7 yrs and was mandatory .

Rios had never been at WW , was coming of 2 losses to B grade JWWs , Rios is a flatfooted no skills bum .

There is no comparison , if Floyd fought Rios and Algieri he would be strung up and crucified , Manny gets a pass for anything but it wont matter on May2nd because he will get exposed .

Hold up didn't berto lose to ortiz?

BTW Rios suck donkey ass.

I didn't say they were even remotely similar, I was comparing the style of defeat...getting disqualified while up on the cards.

Once again showing your lack of common sense.

Rios and guerrero are on a similar level who both came from lightweight.

One is not clearly better than the other. But we can all agree they are both fringe top 10 welters. Very good fighters but will never be elite.

'Official' cards have come up with a lot of scores I've disagreed with. I had him up clearly, I know a lot of others did as well. I think there was a poll on here as well about who people had winning the fight, most people voted Chaves. I thought it was a pretty easy fight to score.

In all honesty Rio is a better fighter then Chavez. Watch the first three rounds of that fight and you'll see the difference in skill level between the two.

You could till Chaves thought he could go toe to toe with Rio but he didn't realize how good Rio's inside game was. After getting hurt in the third round he started to clinch the entire night and fight extremely dirty.

And even then the fight was still up for grabs before the DQ.

lol...

Chaves is a better fighter than Rios and a lot more skilled, it showed in the fight as well. Chaves was clinching before the 3rd round, he was never hurt in the fight. Chaves won 2 of the first 3 rounds...

Rios' inside game is very strong, I'm not sure anyone in the top 10 can go toe to toe with him. Chaves' game plan was to box.

Yea, Rios, guerrero, Maidana, Chaves and also Porter are all on a similar level. They should all face each other.

After the Guerrero win everyone was calling Floyd TBE and untouchable at WW, but Pac beats a similar level of opponent in Rios after a year off + being KTFO and there's nothing but dismissal of Rios.

Let's be honest Rios and Guerrero are pretty much the same level, both got granite chins but are as slow as molasses with limited footspeed (Rios probably has quicker feet).

In fact I think Rios is probably better than that overrated Guerrero, although I respect Guerrero.

Anyone else remember this shet? Before the fight the Floyd stans tried saying this could be an upset ROFL to make the inevitable win look better, anyone with 2 working eyes could see Guerrero didn't have a chance in hell.

Robert Guerrero was 16-0-2(NDs) and on a seven-year unbeaten streak before Floyd, after spending a year out of the ring and some of that time in prison, gave him a 10-2 boxing lesson.

Brandon Rios fought Pacquiao, after losing to Alvarado, in his debut at 147 and got boxed circles around him (he wasn't really a fast guy at 140 and the extra seven pounds couldn't have been any help).

You match the 16-0-2 Guerrero (since his last loss) against a Brandon Rios just debuting at the weight, while also coming off of a loss, I don't see how you hold Bam Bam up so highly.
