Pac and Mays legacy will forever be linked. Having said that, Pacquiao is dragging up Rios from 140 to 147 but Floyd is adding on another 5lbs to fight Canelo. Canelo is obviously a MUCH MORE dangerous foe on paper too. Thoughts for both in comparison?
Rios is 161 at fight night and has struggled to make 140 at the weigh-in - comparing Rios moving UP to 147 considering his normal weight with Canelo being forced to SHED 2lb when he's a big guy just shows your knowledge
dragging? Rios weighs more then pacquiao. If anything hes doin rios a favor , he wont have to cut as much weight. Floyd isnt adding another 5 lbs .. he rehydrates to 151 / 152 anyway. no reason for Floyd to fight Canelo at a catchweight when hes fought at the limit twice, Canelo struggles to make weight already.
I really don't understand why some of you ***** about Floyd and Manny with weight and dragging people up or catchweight. I mean its fun to talk **** but lets be real. These guys are ****ing professional fighters and if they can't make certain weights or whatever then they don't need to be signing for the fights and agreeing to the ****. Rios is a big dude anyways who walks around at 160.
Yep they'll both be linked...PAC as the fighter of the decade and Floyd as runner up. Floyd trying to follow his idol PAC footsteps in being the Catchweight King.
Rios is more comfortable at 147lbs he says. Also, this fight does not really impact Manny, its not one of his best wins. His wins against the likes of Lehwaba and Julio are greater.
