    Yeah a "terminator" who previously came from a year layoff and looking like utter garbage against a D- fighter. Got it!:-(

    You'll say ANYTHING just to TRY make Pac look good, huh?

    I guess Rios is a good choice, just re-watched JMM vs PAC from december 2012 and I feel Pac has definitely declined. While his loss in speed isn't exactly quantifiable, its worse than it was in the Hatton/Cotto/Clottey fights.

    To be fair, bodyopus, the Margarito that showed up against Pac was indeed a monster version of AM.
    That was the first time that AM was fighting a legit fight (and not against some nobody) north of welter and he did show an incredible amount of conditioning as the fight progressed.
    You can compare his fight against Cotto and you will see the same level of dedication and relentless pressure with him on that ring.

    Problem is, he is, well, Margarito. And outside of Pac's gloves getting caught on the ropes, slow pokes like him won't stand a chance against a still chinny Pac.

    You should compare it against the ODLH fight. That, for me, was the fastest version of Pac north of LW.

    Probably Clottey or Drainarito?

    this is a tune up fight. not everyone fights world class opponent after getting KOed like that.

    Then I'm betting we're saying "it's time for Pacquiao to hang'em up" after this fight then.

    Rios is a tune up, no more no less.
    Pac should walk through him easy.
