    Was thinking that'd you probably have to look past pre DLH. David Diaz? Jorge Solis?

    I think this is easily Pac's worst opponent in 5-6 yrs.

    Idk. Coming off a UD loss to Alvarado looks a lot worse than coming off a SD from Miguel Cotto.

    Clottey is far better than Rios. Clottey almost beat Cotto, beat Judah and everyone remembers his scrap with Margarito.

    Rios is one of the worst he's faced. Solis is better in a p4p sense.

    Rios really is a C level overrated fighter. Journeymen have no problem finding his chin flush at will, Pac will wreck him easily even if he's done, so it's not an indicator of Pac's level.

    Ah cmon, Mosley is one of the most poor fighters around now, and has been for years. All he can do is lose, and start panting after round 2. Diaz at least can breathe.

    David Diaz gave him a good scrap. I thought he did better than Mosley, Margarito, Clottey...
    Rios will too - no matter what you think of him, he will come to win.

    Mosley is a good point I forgot about that. I personally thought he was finished after Cotto and shouldn't have been taken seriously as a world class fighter. But then of course he beats Margarito,(who I honestly think didn't get into the ring to win, probably was thinking "oh ****, im going to lose my job, all my money, legacy, and possibly go to jail"). To make matters worse the version of Mosley Pac fought was 3 yrs older than this.

    Once again, young boxing fans throwing around the term "shot to ****". Margarito was shot to **** for Pacquiao. Cotto was shot to **** for Mayweather. Whatever. Margarito and Cotto 2 looked very similar to the the first one, with Cotto's far improved conditioning and strategy based on lateral movement being the difference. They were both looking sharp, well conditioned, physically and mentally strong.
