    This may seem insulting, but I would like to look at one particular match up: Camacho vs. Chavez. Who is slower? Chavez by far. What does Chavez have? Iron chin and a hard punch. Of course he knew how to cut off the ring. Usually, a boxer would be able to deal with some level of pressure, but Camacho couldn't do anything because his offense simply did not deter Chavez from trapping him over and over where he couldn't get away, or if he did, he looked like he was running.

    Rios is VERY good at cutting off the ring - he is always in front of his man. This is a dangerous fight for a guy who showed little punch resistance in his last outing, no matter the differential in skill. Iron chin, hard punch, ability to cut off the ring. Manny should win easily, but there are certain attributes that could spell problems for a shot elite.

    I totally disagree . JMM is only a big threat to Pac, who he has timed and has figured out. Against everyone else he looks way more ordinary. Bradley knows how hard it was to stand up in the Pac fight. He knows he was lucky to win more than round 10 on any card, thanks to judges that don't care about the jab actually landing. Bradley is and was easy work for Pac. JMM might not match up well with a style that moves away from him.

    Did anyone else get motion sickness from looking at this? Seriously, I can't remember my name right now.

    It's a bounceback fight, big deal.

    Also, I didn't mind that Floyd was fighting Guerrero for a similar reason- having a long layoff and jail time, an easier fight is acceptable. That doesn't make it a "great fight", but I get it. I just wasn't about to pay $70 for what I knew was a slaughter in the making.

    Why are people clowning this fight? It's a decent comeback bout. What were you expecting, Canelo? Yeah he gets no credit if he wins but the fight isn't about legacy. It's about building confidence and shaking off the rust.

    Pac vs Rios is exactly that, a mismatch, comeback fight for Pac who is 0 and 2 in his last 2 fights and was knocked the **** out in the last one.

    Now if he beat both Bradley (well we all know he realluy did) and JMM then took the rios fight, THAT would be bull****.
    This is nothing more than a tune up for Pac to look good again. What I dont see is *******s making threads about how Rios is the best at 140 like the *****s did
