    LMFAO. Going to the scorecards? There's a reason Arum picked a guy coming off a loss to go against Pac, so Pac can be hyped again. No way this goes to scorecard.

    None.

    Either Pacquiao isn't completely shot and absolutely massacres Rios like a lot of people on here seem to think he will, OR he IS completely shot with an RJJ post-Tarver chin and will get knocked out by Rios.

    I think Pac is considerably faded, but I think he still has enough left to dispatch Rios. If he doesn't annihilate him and has to bite and claw and struggle his way to a win, it's definitely time to walk away, in my opinion.

    No chance.

    Alvarado had Rios almost out in their first fight for chrissakes. Pacquiao just won't be there to get hit, Rios will get tired as usual, and Manny will put him away or stop him on cuts.

    I don't see much of a chance. Manny punches a lot and so does Rios.

    90% chance

    Rios has shown he has an iron chin, while Manny has a great chin too.

    Against a fighter who barely fought at 140 before moving up to 147, where he has never fought before, Manny will not get dropped or stopped by Rios.

    Manny has also not been able to stop any of his opponents going back to Cotto, who was 2 minutes from the final bell.

    Everything adds up to a fight going the distance. The only thing that would point to the contrary is if Rios' punch resistance can't handle WW, which is speculation since we don't know since he's never fought at WW before.

    Not so dumb.
    Pac was always overated.
    JMM is a good puncher but not a great one.
    Rios punches just as hard.
    Champions take those shots.
    You crack that chin onces.
    It gets easier and easier.
    Thats a fact.

    i'll say pretty low, as both fighters would go down punching, and would never stop.

    Overrated against people with awkward styles, Rios will make Pac look like a beast, Rios hits hard but he wont land that exact punch Marquez did that would have ktfo anyone
    People are overestimating Rios im not even sure if he lands a decent punch on Pac
