True that. Rios made his name because of his fighting style. In terms of fighting against Manny; Manny is too fast, but Rios might be able to last 10-12 rounds. The guy has a tendency to handle power shots well.

Manny tends to have his way with fighters like Rios. I see nothing in his past performances to indicate that this has changed. Getting Rios out of there in 6 would be a tough proposition, though. He can take punishment.

Rios would be target practice for Manny a la Margarito, although in my opinion Rios is a better fighter than Margs

Can't say if Pac stops Rios or not. Rios is tough and isn't quite the punching bag Margacheato is. He has a broader set of abilities, another dimension to his game. I believe Rios can put up a solid defense and even box a little if he needs to. We just have not seen those skills out of him because his chin against the power of the 135 and 140 divisions has made them not necessary.

What makes you believe rios can box if you say we have never seen him do it before. Especially against one of the best. I think he'd get stopped in 6 easily.

I said box "a little". I'm not saying it will save him from losing by a mile, but I think he can put up enough defense and movement to keep him from getting teed off on like Margs was, and has enough toughness to stay awake when Manny lands.

Pacquiao's kind of fight. Rios might match him for power but not for speed. Pacquiao would eat him alive.

The only funny thing about Rios making fun of Freddie's Parkinson's is that he'll probably end up just like Freddie by the end of his career with his style of fighting.
