    Can't believe people are complaining about this.
    Pac has lost 2 of his last 3 fights. His last fight he was KTFO as well.
    As a comeback fight I cant think of a more entertaining fight to make.

    Rios is coming off an embarrassing loss? When did this happen?

    If the market/demand justifies a PPV, then it happens. Pac's still a massive draw, and against a sellable Rios, he'll easily create a PPV event with successful buys.

    :rofl You're still obsessed with that Montoya? Serious question - what's your beef with him? He, or someone else here, mentioned something about you being a failed writer or something of the sort, and you began stalking him. I can't remember. Maybe you can enlighten?

    As for Mayweather-Guerrero being relevant - relevant for what exactly? It's only relevant because it's Mayweather. He can fight anyone in the sport and it'll become relevant. He's the number one guy. Guerrero does nothing to add or take away from the event. He's just there to fill the gap. He's irrelevant. Due to the complete lack of opposition at 147, every fight in that division from now on is more or less an exhibition fight. It's the Mayweather show.

    :lol: He's the one obsessed with stalking me, sending pm's and tweets :patsch We beef because we know eachother elsewhere and I knew all of his motives long before his gig turned into blogging for a website.

    - It's relevant because it's a championship bout between the #1 welter and a top welterweight. How is that not relevant? 2 top 4 welterweights fighting has no relevance now :lol:

    But you're ok with Pac/Rios :lol:

    This is such a contradiction. You state Mayweather is welterweight champion and Guerrero is #1 contender. Fine.

    Pacquiao is not a champion though and is coming off a huge loss. So I'm puzzled how is it that you're comparing like for like.

    When Pacquiao fought Bradley he was coming off a win and had a belt. Bradley represented the equivalent of Guerrero. Things have changed, Pacquiao is not in the same position as Mayweather. Marquez and Bradley want to fight each other so he's out of luck there and no doubt he'll get the winner of that if he wins his bout - essentially he has to earn it again. Alvarado and Rios are the next 2 best contenders so essentially Pacquiao's next fight will be an eliminator.

    So I just don't understand how putting him in against Rios or Alvarado can be laughed at in those circumstances.

    Hate really does cloud logic

    Sorry but name me the last PPV where two fighters in the main event were coming off losses, one being knocked the hell out. Rios and Alvarado are NOT contenders. They've done nothing but go 1-1 against each other.

    Nah man. Some of us need to stop inflating Guerrero's abilities. He's from the same talent pool as pool as Ortiz, Khan, Rios, etc. Beating Andre Berto hardly puts you a cut above the rest of them. Stylistically he may get the better of some them, but threat-wise, they're all more or less the same.

    I agree with this I think Ortiz or Rios vs Guerrero would be good fights I would favour Guerrero in them all but not by much because you never no both Rios an Ortiz can bang am not sure about khan tho i don't rate him to highly

    Guerrero is much better than Rios and Alvarado!

    I see it as the other way round :cool:. The few times he had been on here, it was you doing the chasing. And even now when he's not here, you always bring him up; thinking I have something to do with him :lol:.

    Save that for someone who'll fall for that ****. Mayweather is above dust-collecting belts and meaningless rankings. I mean, Amir ****in' Khan is ranked as a number 2 weltwerweight for that WBC belt for crying out loud :lol:.

    khan has alot better boxing ability I agree he is alot faster to but if they fought I think Rios could take him out only takes one punch but if khan sticks to a plan he probaly wins on points but we have all seen khan dragged in to a fight I would like to see it actualy.
