    Rios has already said, "I fight like I fight. I am not going to change anything".

    I honestly don't think there's any way he can win. Look how much he struggled when Alvarado used the jab in their first fight.

    Pacman said that Margarito hurt him to the body several times. He said he even thought about quitting a couple times. Rios is better than Margarito on the inside and the sparing Margarito and Rios did in the past showed them to be well matched power wise.

    It was basic but required a great fighter to execute it. You also seem to be forgetting that Marquez was severely battered at that point and hurt which drove Pacquiao to his reckless attack. Not all fighters can do what Marquez did being in the position he was.

    Unless Pacquaios Chin turned china there is nothing Rios can do to win. Just enjoy the 15 mins and go to sleep.

    I'm surprised at how many people think this will be an easy fight for Pac. He's coming off a terrible KO loss. He was out cold on the canvas for a while. Who knows what he's going to be like when he gets in the ring again? His punch resistance might be lower, he might be far less confident when it comes to attacking, etc. I have no idea why his people would even put him in the ring with a power puncher for a comeback fight.

    Marquez brain transplant which will enable him to throw a counter right hand at the perfect time for the KO

    Realistically Garcia & Rios should go seek some help from Nacho THE BEAST Beristain and Marquez and hope they are happy to give some good advice.

    Will Probaly go along the lines of - Nacho: "Your boxing is terrible, throw that right hand and hope you get lucky punk"

    Oh, I don't think Rios is a great fighter. From what I've seen, he just plods in with no defence and takes shots to land his own. Normally I would say that Pac would win in style. I'm just trying to point out that Pac is coming off a devastating loss, so we don't know if he's going to be the same fighter. It's optimistic to assume that he can just shrug off being KO'd that badly after all the wear and tear on his body, and he's not exactly young either.
     
  10. rios plods. he's very slow on his feet. there's nothing he can do against pacman. i ll perm ban bet with anyone.

    I agree but in terms of speed and explosiveness he isnt that much past his best. Until the KO i saw the best Pacquiao since Cotto. Pacquiao is gonna move in, land his combos and move out easily imo. Rios is no counterpuncher and has slow hands. His footwork is bad, the only reason he made it this far is because he was well matched with mostly face first brawlers and he had a huuuge size advantage against the guys he fought.
