    If Rios fights his normal fight stumbling forward like a zombie using his face to block punches, he's getting sparked out in 6 rounds

    Rios hasn't been operating anywhere near Pacquiaos level, the gulf in class will be huge.

    Its an interesting fight.
    We don't know if Pac will be more tentative from the KO.
    We don't know if he will have less punch resistance, from the KO.

    As far as Rios, I speculate he will be BETTER at 47 than he has ever been.
    He has always had such a hard time making weight, at 47, this giant hurdle is gone. He may have more power, more energy and an even better chin.

    He is working with the #1 steroid doctor in the industry.

    Pac can't take the kind of beating Alvarado did. He could do those things at 126 and 130 but not here. Especially not an older Pac.

    Look how long David Diaz lasted vs Pac at 35.

    If it becomes a give and take fight, Rios will win, he can take a lot more punishment than Pac.

    They desperately need a Pacquiao KO to recharge his career.

    With all of that said, I honestly think Hatton is the blueprint they will use for this fight. Rios is totally open, all night long, like Hatton. This will allow Pacquiao to set up absolutely giant monster punches with pinpoint accuracy. You can't do that to Tim Bradley and Marquez, at will. Well, ok Bradley starting getting goofy in there vs the Russian but you know what I mean.

    This kind of thing is different than zipping in and out.

    Surely Rios can win and wear down Pac if he is diminshed. My guess is that he will be fine, and that Memo won't help that much because Rios doesn't have the skill set of Marquez to go with the help.

    I think a small bet on Pacquiao KO Round 1 is in order. Because Rios gets hit with the well timed perfectly set up shots that Hatton was getting hit with, Rios is toast. As far as betting other than that I wouldn't touch it, too many factors here, if Rios is walking through **** and just coming forward and Manny is taking damage from a bigger stronger Rios with suddenly extra power a la Memo, Roach will pull the plug I think before he allows Pac to go life and death with Rios.

    The plan is to make a huge, huge statement in this fight and absolutely destroy Rios.... and in this case, if Rios gets nailed badly but still has some life, they will just stop it.

    Rios defense is much better than he is given credit for. He slips most punches and he is one of the best inside fighters around today. He takes shots to counter his opponent but he seldom takes a shot flush. I simply see Pacquiau out punching Rios and taking the decision. It will be a hometown crowd and home town officials. There is no way Rios wins a decision.

    Rios is a C class, face first brawling lightweight. If Manny has anything left he's gonna obliterate him.

    As usual all the cards are stacked in Pac's favour, lets remember that Rios has only had 2 fights at 140 and now this fight is at 147. I hope Rio's can win but I think Pac will stop him, in saying that it will not be like the Magarito fight as Margo was shot and didn't even try to win. I'm hoping Pac gets reckless if he gets Rio's with a good shot and walks in to a bomb and gets KO'd again.

    Who is currently going through random VADA testing proving anti-doping and who isn't? Exactly.

    Lol.

    That's just ONE fight, Genius.

    Where was VADA when Pacquiao was ripping through 126 to 140?

    And exactly WHY did Pacquiao walk away from what would have been the biggest payday of his career over the issue of drug testing in the first round of negotiations with Mayweather?

    I'm talking right now, which is what matters.
    Roidquez is scared to go through random drug testing and Pacquiao is not. This is showing that Pacquiao is clean and Roidquez is still highly suspect.

    You need to STOP smoking the crack. Pacquiao wanted no parts of random drug testing back in '09 when negotiating with Mayweather. Pacquiao didn't make a sound about OSDT when he was steamrolling guys from 126 to 140. Now, all of a sudden after he's been beaten at his own game, he wants OSDT?

    And you want to claim that Marquez is suspect?

    LOL.

    Didn't Marquez submit to OSDT for the Mayweather fight?

    I will answer you *******s in the same manner that you all did when the question came up about whether or not Pacquiao is clean.

    Has Marquez failed any drug tests?

    If the answer is no then please do everyone here a favor and STFU...

    When did Marquez hire Heredia? It was 1-2 years AFTER Mayweather so don't even bring up any testing prior to Heredia. Do you even have simple logic when you bring up things from the past BEFORE Heredia?
    Again, we're not talking about the past because we would run in circles all day and would even talk about Mayweather failing his drug test 3 times which Golden Boy Promotions helped sweep under the rug. That's the past and let's discuss the PRESENT which is what matters.

    I ask you, who is currently doing random VADA testing and who ducked it? Exactly.
    Pacquiao is showing he is clean and Roidquez is highly suspect and you can't deny this. Why is Bradley saying that Marquez is a cheater in the recent 24/7 video? Why did Broner say Marquez needs to take a test? Why did other professional fighters even UFC fighters say Marquez is probably on steroids? If you can't understand this, don't waste my time anymore and I don't want to argue with dumbasses.
