Why are people dismissing Rios? Did you see Alvarado's face?

    Alvarado got the **** beat outta him the second time around. He looked worse for wear after the second fight than the first.

    I'm not even trying to hype this fan. I'm a Pacquaio fan. I don't hide that fact.

    And honestly, I'm worried for him in this fight. I think Rios is a big, strong guy with a hell of a jaw, and a serious body attack.

    It's true that Alvarado outboxed him in the second fight, but Rios may have had an off night, and it can't be overlooked that Alvarado is MUCH bigger than Pacquaio.

    Pacquaio is a little guy.

    This could end badly for Pacquaio if Pacquaio doesn't come in 100% prepared and reminiscent of the Pacquaio of old.

    Rios has a rock for a brain, and he doesn't seem to be affected by punches.

    Rios is already showing signs of pugilistic dementia and a fight with Pacquiao won't be good for that brain of his.

    That being said I hope i'm wrong but Pac doesn't seem to have a fire in his eyes anymore.

    Here's the undisputable facts pacquiao has progressively looked worse and worse in every consecutive fight since the Margarito fight. If you follow that logic you can assume that he'll be worse then the last time he was in the ring. Once you come to that realization its pretty obvious that almost any boarderline level world fighter should be considered to have a chance against the guy....

    Because Pacquiao is not Alvardo.

    This is like saying Malginaggi would be competitive with Kell Brook because he beat Broner. :lol:

    Rios' biggest weapon is his chin.

    If he can weather the coming onslaught for the first four or so rounds, we'll have a very interesting fight.

    Because mike is nowhere close to pacs level even at this point. Rios is garbage. If pac isnt completely shot he dominates this fight. Its a f*ckin tune-up just like mayweather marquez was.

    Pac is much faster, harder to hit, punches harder, etc.

    Anyone who thinks Alvarado beat rios doesn't know boxing or how to score a fight.

    But he's getting older.

    Ask Martinez what it's like fighting bigger guys all the time.

    He beat the hell out of Chavez, but all it took was one round of Chavez being able to land his punches to almost put Martinez out.

    If Rios can sustain Pacquaio's punishment, Pacquaio may not have the stamina to continue to dish it out.

    Pacquaio is not the type of fighter that likes to tie up, and even if that was the case, Rios is not the guy to tie up, he's too big and too strong.

    I think the important thing to take away is....when Rios gets hit, HE SMILES.
