    All fingers are pointing towards a Rios vs Pacquaio fight, which is interesting.

    How does Pac's return bout compare to fighters of old?

    After getting knocked out by Tarver, Jones Jr fought him again in a rematch losing a UD followed by Glen Johnson.

    After losing to Hopkins by KO, Oscar De La Hoya fought Mayorga and Floyd Mayweather.

    Pac though is returning against a made to order fighter, moving up in weight and coming off a loss.

    Which I don't have a problem with. But...

    Is it fair that Pac remains in the top ten considering the caliber of fighter he is taking on is weak? If the likes of Froch, Bradley and Mares win their next bouts are they more deserving of a higher place on everyone's P4P list than Pac.

    After being ktfo a guy can fight whoever he wants.

    Rios is a top 10 fighter and the fight is fine. Obviously it isn't the greatest fight to be made but who cares considering Pac has been knocked the **** out.

    it is a tough fight. And the way Manny gets in brawls, it could get very interesting.
