    Rios keeps saying how he is going up in weight soon, and has called out the likes of Amir Khan. Bob Arum has even suggested Rios will be put in with Pac next year. This was Pacquiao's response at 1.55 :lol:

    Pac is likeable but at the same time can't help but feel he is a bit of a cocky twat

    That's how Pac should respond, compared to his stature/ability as a fighter, Rios is literally a nobody. And Pac is the worst matchup for him ever, I will be pissed at Pac if he were to take this fight rather than retire. SHOCKING FIGHT if Arum is talking about it, not competitive in the slightest.

    Yeah.... I'd worry for Rios if this fight were to be made.

    I like him, but he's absolutely way off these kind of fights.... and won't ever get there IMO.

    Stick him in with fighters like Ortiz by all means, but Pacquiao is on another planet.

    Between running a country and preparing for JMM, the guy can't keep track of EVERY fighter who Bob happens to name-drop

    i think he does know who he is, he probably said that coz of when Margarito and Rios mocked Roach for having Parkinons

    Lets be real on this, while Rios is a good fighter, Pac would spark him cold quick.

    I'd much rather Manny to step up fully to LMW or even take on Sturm for his MW title. If he loses, so what? His legacy is already cemented. Why not push himself.
