    Very interesting questions here even some regarding Mayweather-Pacquiao answered by both Pacquiao and Rios.

    Why is everyone acting like Rios is a dangerous comeback fight

    wtf

    I bet Rios takes a worse beating than Margarito did.

    He might not be dangerous but he's not a joke either. We don't really know how Pacquiao will perform after his recent knockout.

    He isn't a pushover.

    Most people are predicting a KO for Pacquaio but Rios has one of the best chins in the game. He is more in his prime than Margarito was vs Pac and Pac has probably disimproved since the Margarito fight and has suffered a massive KO since. Rios has lost at the hands of a terribly awkward Abril (officially he 'won' but lets count it as a loss) who is very different to Pac style-wise, and his other loss came vs Alvarado: a guy he had previously KO'd. He has decent power and Pacquaio's power at 147 isn't as effective as it was in the lower weights.

    All of this makes me lean towards a Pac decision the more I think about the fight. Pac should win nearly every round but Rios will land during the fight also and have his moments.

    Both those guys can be really annoying (the hosts of First Take). Too bad they weren't on a serious show, but I'm not sure if ESPN has a serious show . . .

    other than his abril fight, rios wrecks people. he maybe suited for pac's style but he definitely shouldn't be taken lightly.

    Awesome interview.

    Really goes to show you just how fixated the world was on Pac vs Mayweather.

    The interview of Brandon and Pac became about Pac vs Mayweather, and that fight is practically a non entity.
