    yes I changed my mind as well after reflecting and really thinking about it, rios coming forward, night night time for rios....

    Alvarado boxing smart, new trainer, great chin, endless stamina, body work, power right hand, reach height size... im sold..

    good fight.

    edited my post before I seen your quote, and ya I feel the same. At the end of the day I feel it equals out.

    Rios's aggression, power, and durability, but questionable stamina (imo), and who will inevitably become a punching bag in there with a speedster, I think it = with Alvarados skills, heart, stamina, but with little less power and ferocity.

    Ive obviously been wrong before, and will be again, but imo, Alvarado isn't physically talented enough to do what JMM did.

    Pac will have to be significantly declined for him to pull off even what JMM did in the 3rd matchup, imo.

    Hes just not that good. (hes good, but im saying not good enough to outbox Pac, even this version)

    but hey we will see.

    I'm going to assume you missed Maidana fight, Alexander would outbox Pacquiao like Bradley but he has vicious power at 147, you are such a casual, Alexander is a beast.

    since when? Pac was beating Marquez ass until that punch. **** if Manny and JMM fought a 5th time I would favor Manny. These two guys suck

    65 bucks for a mismatch, with no relevance. Thanks Pac and Bob!

    You could be right :think Hard to say. For me it seems Rios's punches are heavier but maybe its an illusion caused by the difference in chins. But just going by what Im viewing as they punch, not even taking into account reaction from the fighter themselves, to me it seems Rios hits harder but maybe they are more equal then unequal.

    Alvarado beat Rios so he deserves the fight more. This is a decent come-back fight for Pac who has been in tough fights since 2008.

    A lot of people bought Mayweather-Ortiz and hyped it as a "young lion charging with relish" when it was obvious(at least to me) this was a mismatch. Pacquiao being in a mismatch is understandable, the man is coming off a knockout loss and has been fighting tough opponents since 2008. An easy fight after a knockout is understandable.

    Earned his shot? WTF?

    How does beating Rios in one of the deepest divisions in Boxing earn you a shot at a recently KTFO Welterweight?

    This is a clear duck by Pacfraud. Alvarado is the same guy Pac has been feasting on for years. Hopefully, Alvarado shows an extra dimension and sends that fraud to the glue factory.

    Rios was next for Pac among jmm and Bradley until Alvarado upset him, jmm wants much deserved money, Bradley wants jmm not sleepquiao.. so that leaves Alvarado who was supposed to be Rios but Alvarado earned his shot.

    get it dumb ass?

    Doesn't matter to me. Either Rios or Alvarado. Doesn't make a difference seeing as they are about equal in terms of overall skills. Rios punches a bit harder but he has worse defense which means Pac will heavily tag him. Mike will get hit too but he can at least move with his legs and can land a cracking shot when he sees an opening. He has the power to hurt Pac, make no mistake about it. Good fight for both guys. Won't be shocked if either guy gets knocked out. If Pac wins be prepared for the boards to light up with things like, "THE FILIPINO JESUS HAS RESURRECTED!" Just a warning.
