Pacquiao vs Rios is a Sensational fight!

Awesome style match up thats for sure. That is, if Pac hasn't been completely changed by his knockout to Marquez.

 

Yeah agreed on all points.

Its a great point you raise about the consequences of losing for either fighter..probably more so for Pacquaio..

Yeah this is a great match up...there is almost no chance this wont be exciting...

 

Floyd fanboys really are salivating this fight but won't admit it openly. Fact. Cause they're sick of watching their guy pot shot all night. Bet some of them booed last Saturday.

 

you answered it in the 1st sentence. Its pure Hate.

If any other fighter chose Rios in there 1st fight back from being ko'd cold, they'd be applauded.

Not to mention stylistically this is a brilliant fight.

 

Surefire action fight..the outcome is obvious, but this is a fight you watch for the fight, outcome be damned.

 

I think the backlash is due to the criticism Mayweather receives on some of his opponents. Since Pacquaio is fighting a somewhat questionable opponent (in terms of experience at 147), the Floyd supporters are going on the offensive. Personally I think it's a great fight, it'll be a lot of fun.

 

I am a bit scared that Rios might KO Pacquiao.
I doubt his punch resistance will be the same and lets just pray that he gives it his best in training.
It would be a sad ending to a great career.

 

It's maybe exciting but the only chance Rios has of winning is that Pacquiao has declined A LOT and that his chin is completely shot. If this fight is a war than Pac-Margarito should have been too but Pacquiao is just too good and will completely destroy Rios if he's still the same. I care more for seing tough fights than exciting of course they should be both but Rios has about as much chance of winning as Guerrero did

 

criticism was deserved for that one.

Floyd is number one in the sport and still undefeated. No one was asking for Guerrero. Floyd deserved the criticism.

If Manny beats Rios, expect him to jum right back in with someone more credible.

 

Great fight not sure what all the fuss is about.
Cant belive people are dissing it
if manny wins in style hes bang in the Elite again then hopefully he can tune up bradly and erase the first fight from my mind

 

Pacquiao the legend never ducked anyone

 

I do enjoy watching Manny beat on heavybags so it will at least keep me entertained.

 

This should be an easy fight for Pacquiao; that's what the hate is about.

Manny has graduated past this level of opposition and needs to be taking on complete fighters. Why not just move back down to 140 and try to make a few fights there?

 

I'll watch the fight cause I'm a boxing fan, and I never miss a big event if I can help it

But I'm not paying for this ****, and if Pac doesn't stop him early (or at all) it shows 1 of 2 things, either there's a serious decline in his ability, or he was never that good in the first place...

U *******s making these threads aren't fooling anyone
