Pac's fight with Rios was just as pleasing to watch as Floyd's Baldomir fight.

    It was a great boxing clinic for both fights.

    Wasn't really much drama, not much action. Both fighters won every round.

    Just as pleasing to watch as one another.

    Both were pretty entertaining for the "purist" fans.

    The only difference was that Baldomir was a full fledged Welterweight and was the lineal champion while Rios has never fought at 147 b4

    No not really. Pac threw 800+ punches. Busted Rios face up and dazzled the crowd with 5 punch combinations.

    Mayweather thew 10 punches a round and pretty much put everyone in the arena to sleep. It was a boxing clinic sure but was it as pleasing to watch as Pacquiao-Rios? No not even close.

    He limited Baldomir's punching power to 50% of his normal rate, made Baldomir unsure of himself the entire fight. It was such a great thrilling fight.

    Spectacular defense.

    Yeah, about the same and of the same significance. Unless you bought in to that Cinderella Man BS. Baldo was nothing special, neither is Rios.

    Baldomir was a better opponent than Rios. Baldomir hadn't lost in 9 years and had just beaten the lineal WW champ. Rios was coming off a loss.

    What punching power? LOL The feeling of being entertained is subjective but I can speak for most of the fans that watched it Baldomir vs Mayweather. It was boring. I think by the 9th or 10th round the people in the area are booing and walking out of the fight because it was so disappointing.

    It was boxing clinic performed by Mayweather but seriously throwing only 400 punches against Baldomir?

    If Rios had opened up and fought Pacquiao, he would've gotten KO'd. Baldomir who was trying completely trying to chase Mayweather, Mayweather was just countering with 1 or 2 punches then move away. He didn't take any chances to KO or hurt Baldomir.

    You said that Mayweather shut downed Baldomir and made him unsure of himself? Baldomir threw 200 more punches than Mayweather that night. He did not fear or respected Mayweather's punching power or ability.


    Nuff said :deal

    Ability lol, he was so discouraged by the 9th round because he knew he was hitting nothing.

    They were both boxing classics! Great stuff.

    Pac is always much better to watch than Void. Void refuses to fight Pac, but Pac wants to fight Void..............
