Rios is the perfect opponent to make Pacquaio look like a beast again, that's why this fight is happening.
He's a one dimensional punching bag, who plods forward and just tries to be offensive. He's not a real 147lb, has no defense, and will stand in front of Manny and take punishment all night.
This is gonna be like a Margarito repeat, except Rios isn't nearly as tough (or big) as Margarito is. I think it will be an exciting fight, all Rios fights are exciting, but Pacquiao will jump in and out on Rios all night and tear him apart.
Rios will be a gauge to see how much if anything Pacquiao has left. Manny could very well be a shot fighter, time will tell. My opinion is that Pac should retire, but who am I to tell someone how to earn a living. The money is right, and that's pretty much what it's all about at this stage in Manny's career.
No, he isn't but its a good opponent for a comeback fight. I'm pretty sure it'll be competitive, Rios just came from his first loss and Pacquiao is his toughest opponent yet. If he pulls this off, it'll benefit him a lot. There aren't any reason for Rios to throw this fight away.
Its a good fight, rios has the heart, chin, power to make this fight a very exciting fight...And rios aint a gunshy...He is not robert guerrero who talks **** but doesnt throw punches...Stand in there like freakin retard...
maybe it's an all exciting and action pack fight.. or non-boring fight...
I believe it will be an exciting all action...but can Rios (who never fought at 147) be competitive?
