    In an interview of roy jones he talks about how Rios will be out gunned and out powered, he said pac hits much harder then alvarado. how do they stand in the power department?

    At 147, Pac should have the edge. Rios packs serious thunder for a lightweight, solid power for a junior welter. But, he likely doesn't hit any harder than a true welterweight.

    Pac has pretty decent power at welter.

    Pac on the outside, but Rios is solid in close. If either land right the result is the same.

    Rios probably hits harder, but Pac also hits hard for a former flyweight

    Unless you have been on the pads with them both or fought them both you would't know.

    I would say about even

    the thing is speed is power, and pacquiao has much more of that

    think of speed as an external multiplier of power

    the shots you don't see coming always hurt the most

    Rios is heavy-handed at best.

    Rios should outweight Pac if the fight is at 147

    Will probaly look fat though... Rios really should start his camp soon and get a well worked out diet and S&C plan so he doesn't look like an untoned piece of flab

    I can tell you whos faster, pac. when they start exchanging pac will land 2-3 for every 1 rios attempts.

    Cant imagine Rios ever being able to do to Hatton what Pac did.

    Both of them would probably knock Roy Jones out, thats how bad his chin is
