    ....but he would have little chance against Mayweather.

    I am a huge Pacquiao fan but I think Rios' size, power, strong chin and relentless pressure may be a real problem for Manny. Mayweather on the other hand knows how to nullify all the traits and advantages Rios has.

    On the other hand I think Mayweather vs Pacquioa would be a 51/49 fight with Mayweather winning by close or split decision. Go figure but style does make fights.

    Rios has no chance against Pac and no chance against FLoyd, smart pressure with great timing is very good but Rios pressure with his poor footwork por ring IQ poor skill set is perfect for Pac to shine...
    I have wrote this in every thread about this fight and i will again, Pac will land 3 4punch combo and get out before Rios can react only think Rios can do is put his hands up and thats, Rios doesnt have hand or foot speed to be able to land anything big on Pac, Margarito all over again but Rios is smaller and can not take as much as Margarito did!

    Rios is a strictly inside fighter,he loves his opponents to stand in the pocket and trade,if Manny was for some reason to do that yes Rios would have a chance.Its not going to happen though,expect a one sided beat down for bum bum.

    You post it and continue to show that you know nothing about Rios or his skills. Brandon had over 300 amateur bouts. He won over 90% of those bouts. He was an alternate for the Olympics. He can box but he loves to go toe to toe inside.

    This fight is only a problem if PAC is shot to ****. If he is anything like his normal self, he demolishes Rios, who style wise is made for him. Being big, strong, aggressive, relentless isn't enough.

    Look at the Margarito fight for a comparison.

    Ah but that is the point. He is not strictly an inside fighter. Fighting inside is what he likes to do but he can do a lot more than that.

    Margarito and Rios are nothing alike. Rios is better in so many ways. Margarito had nothing on Rios when they sparred. In fact Rios was stronger and faster the Margarito.

    Your opening post goes in about Rios' size, power, chin and pressure all things Margo had in abundance. Now all of a sudden Rios is a speedster lol

    Pacquiao will give Rios a lesson in speed I assure you.

    His skills:patsch yeah i know he has C level skills and A level chin and heart, he showed his skills and ring IQ vs Abril, he cant adapt to anything, i understand you love him but tell me does he have foot speed to apply pressure on Pac?? No he does not does he have timing to counter PAc no he doesnt, can he out think Pac no, he will show heart and get destroyed easy, hope for his health referee stops it once it gets bad for him C level skill cant beat A+ level fighter even if not prime...Rios can look good when matched perfectly like vs Alvarado but someone can box he is lost...Maybe hard to hear but this is Pac vs Heavybag!!!

    Rios has much quicker hand reflexes than Margo and his foot speed is better. There is no comparison between Manny's hand speed and Rios'. Everyone know Manny is faster. However, Rios is a master at timing and opponent and a speedy opponent can be timed.

    I think that you overrate Rios' abilities. However we will see.

    Abril beat himself by holding and running to much. You are just wrong pure and simple.

    Anyone giving Rios more than 3 rounds dont know **** about boxing, he made Abril look like Floyd in there and for that to happen you need special kind of no Ring IQ, Abril stands in front of him and he can not land **** and you talk about his skills, see you after Pac vs Rios so you can tell me where were those skills :lol:
