    Pre-knockout, he was doing pretty damn good i though, it gets understated because of the huge KO loss he suffered. But I had him up when the knockout came.

    yes he would win. JMM had the advantage of having 4 fights with Manny.

    Rios has significantly greater ring IQ and timing than Marquez, so I say no.

    This fight will be a less intense version of manny-marg imo

    Rios hasn't lost a fight. He's been outboxed. But he hasn't lost a fight in which his opponent went to war with him for every second of every round. Look, I understand Rios is going into the fight with Pac as a big underdog. However I believe this fight will be a lot more competitive than what most people think. When you have two brawlers who love to go toe-to-toe it comes down to whose chin is cracking first. Rios has an iron chin. Pac has a good one too but it has been cracked. Then again Rios' power may not translate to 147 very well. Lots of questions and that's why I like this fight. Either way you have two of the best brawlers going at it. One man is going down and I won't be shocked to see either one hit the canvas. All it takes is one punch to decide the outcome. If Rios can take 3 of Pac's shots to get in one good shot, Manny can be worn down if he's a shell of his former self.

    Manny never made it to the second half of the fight. I dont know if he can go 12 rounds. Rios by KO

    I think Manny after being KTFO still beats Rios clearly, by stoppage.

    Pretty sure Alvarado rocked Rios in the third round of their second fight and seemed to hurt him.. His chin can and probably will be cracked.

    of course, manny looked a beast against a guy who had the benefit of 36 rounds to figure out a way to land the perfect punch. not taking anything away from jmm, he won many more of those 36 rds than pac... but he was on his way to a beat down before he scored the grand slam.
