    Can we officially say Pacquiao is shot if he loses to Rios? Do you think he's still shaken up by the JMM KO? Or is he just getting older, and thus his reflexes are diminishing?

    He has to retire. Rios is a tough fighter but stylistically he is a good fit for Manny.

    If he can't beat Rios what top fighters CAN he beat?

    I think Pacquiao should retire even if he wins.

    If Rios beats him Pac is shot beyond belief, 10% of Pac is more than enough to beat the **** out of Rios and he will do that...simply perfect fit for Manny it will be like watching him work on heavy bag he will land and get out all night without any problems similar to Margarit but Rios can not take as much punishment as Margarito did.

    I think this is a perfect fight for manny at this stage.. if he loses or even sturggles his career is over IMO. Rios stylistly, is made for pacquiao, a few years ago pacman beats him easy

    If he loses, that's it. He's got nothing to be ashamed of in his career, but it'd be over.

    If Pac loses to Brandon it's a wrap for Manny. There's no reason he should take an L to a guy like Rios and that isnt a knock on Brandon.....it's just reality that Pac's operating at a higher level based on pure talent and athletic ability.

    He has no say in anything Manny does?, who encouraged Pacquiao to move up for the DLH fight?, who practically trained him and took care of him when no one cared about his arrival to the US?. If you know nothing it's best to not comment at all.

    Since weight classes were introduced. Here's the deal, if you make 141-147 you're a welterweight, if you make 148-154 you're a jr. middleweight and so on. Pacquiao didn't introduce catchweights in boxing. It takes two teams to agree and if the other side has no problem then what's the issue? Both Cotto and Concreto fights were in their weight categories, otherwise no belt would be on the line.
