    1) emmanuel gets beat up by Floyd in early 2012.

    2) emmanuel fights anyone who can make him look great in late 2012.

    3) Rios vs emmanuel early 2013

    Hopefully, this is what bob has in mind.

    Rios is a MEXICAN guy with an exciting style, I think bob feels he's the best replacement for emamnuel as top rank's poster boy.

    I doubt Rios even makes it out of 140 which is why he stays at 135.

    as logical as that seems to me

    i dunno if i can actually believe arum its already conceding his boy losing to floyd....but whatever....

    so what else could he have in mind...i mean...if pac beats floyd does he keep fighting? id think pac retires.....

    im trying to figure out/read into what bob was saying...was he serious? i tend to think he was serious...

    yer right...rios seems like his next prized star....

    He's too much of a buff guy to be kept at 135 forever.

    He is so why does he waste time draining himself for 135 when all of the better and money fights are at 140? I think he drains himself for the advantage.

    I think Juan will trouble emmanuel, but emmanuel manages to get the win.

    This will be a reality check for bob telling him he better cash out on emmanuel soon with a Floyd fight unless he plans to miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime.

    Juan troubling emmanuel and Floyd beating emmanuel will set the stage for Rios-emmanuel 2013.

    PAC gets ****ed up, simple as that. I'd love to see it I know that.

    I think so too. He uses a very physical style. Rios isn't exactly an old guy. I think he'll no longer be able to make 135 after 3 more fights.

    Why do you think a pass prime 34 year old emmanuel loses to Rios?

    Floyd would rather go on vacation than fight Manny.

    ..and Rios would definitely give Pac another war.

    And when he does, I don't see it making him that much physically stronger like Ortiz/Cotto/Pacquiao. In fact, I think once he faces someone stronger/bigger than him, he won't have the skill to bring him through.

    He doesn't have the exclusive Top Rank membership like Kermit.
