    We'll never know for sure. But Rios was obviously not the same guy he was from the Pac fight. He was out of shape, had a hard camp, and was wuestioning his own fire and commitment before the fight. A recipe for a stoppage IMO. I know Pacquiao doesn't stop anybody anymore, but neither does Timmeh.

    I dont think Pacquiao could have ko'd rios in the way Bradley did.But i think that pacman would have put a real beating in rios that would make him quit knowing that he is trying to end his carrer without any severe damage.
    In other words this version of rios wouldnt last 12 rounds with pacman.

    Yes, rios clearly underestimated pacs ability and was shocked when he went in there against him. He went into complete survival mode, if he was a little bit more game he would not have made the final bell (clottey in the same boat). Though this recent rios is a clear decline from the pac fight

    he is already saying, he needs to retire after the fight. that just shows how he has lost all motivation for the sport. this is far from the Rios that fought Pac. this version might have just quit against pac.

    Floyd exposed PAC by landing his face on PAC gloves constantly.

    Rios had a real shoulder injury vs PAC.
