some off-brand promotional company.. neither TR, GBP, or Shaw.. basicly a free-agent. and yeah that would be a helluva fight.
atsch A fading Pac is almost killed in his last fight and people are shitting on him for fighting Rios when JMM and Bradley both declined his fights. atsch
Im a huge Pac critic but Pac Rios is a good fight. Rios is still young and always comes to fight. Its not like hes damaged goods. He just got outboxed is all. Very good fight especially considering Pac coming off the KO.
no Pacman fighting Rios takes more guts than Floyd handpicking Guerrero. I knew the night Guerrero won that Mayweather would fight him. Big enough name and he can beat him easily.
Rios is 160 fight night, as a JWW. By contrast, the guy Guerrero thought wa a p4p puncher, that bum Aydin is 151 fight night at welter, and has 64 inch reach. Do you think Aydin is a better, more legit opponent than Rios?
Lets be honest they were going through with this regardless of the Rios-Alvarado 2 outcome. They had already mentioned Rios as the most likely opponent way before that fight. This fight was a done deal moths ago.:deal
It's not like efforts were not made to find a better opponent. both JMM and Bradley passed on near twice their career best purse
to be fair Pac just waking up from a long nap. He deserves the right to a tune up. Also hes no longer on Floyd's level.
Yeah, Manny isn't going to be fighting guys who'll box and move anymore. He likes them going in straight lines and preferably blocking shots with their face.
