"I don't want to take a tune up fight... I want to fight the best fighter"

Cool story Manny.

I think he lost alot of brain cells from that KO cuz he's been sounding dilusional lately.

" It was a lucky punch " says Pacman. lol

Cool story Manny.

Name one fighter that has suffered a knock out like he did and then came back against a fighter this dangerous?

Brandon Rios isn't anywhere close to the best fighter... I don't care how "dangerous" you think he is.

Rios is a dangeorus opponent to an extent but at the same time, he's tailor made for Manny which was why he was chosen.

That is not the point. Manny could have fought a scrub and would have gotten a pass due to his last fight. I'm no fan of his per say but I cant think of a fighter at the very top who has lost in the way he did and then taken on a fighter like this and not a tune up. Anybody who thinks Rios is a tuneup is a blithering idiot. The only guy I can think of in this era is Lewis. Some guys have a less the stellar showing and take a walk in their next fight.

Yes, that is the point. Read my first post in this thread.

The fight will not be competitive. Rios' come forward style and leaky defense are tailor made for Pacquiao. They chose him because he's pretty much guaranteed to make Pacquiao look sensational again. Don't call it a tune up if you don't want to, but this guy clearly doesn't belong in the same ring with Pacquiao. This fight has one sided beat down written all over it.

So basically you are calling Pacquiao a wanker for not calling his opponent one dimensional? And thereby inferring that he is deluded?

I watched the video for the second time and this motherfucker Stephen Smith was acting like a prick to Pacquiao. This motherfucker was straight up clowning and disrespecting a great fighter. This fuckin prick was hella obnoxious and shit all loud mouth acting like a typical ghetto jizz punk motherfucker that he is. I really didnt pay attention the first time and missed out alot but dam this faggot Stephen Smith was annoying. This foo was ignoring pretty much everything and just busy sucking Floyd's dick.

I think he might be racist too. I hope Pacquiao trains with fire in belly and destroy this punk Rios.

Kinda felt sorry for Rios. The conversation just circled around a manny floyd fight and he got left out.

To find 4 people less worth listening to would be a serious challenge if you ask me. Pacquiao is the only one with any class whatsoever but he can't speak english, both Stephen A and Skip Bayless are completely insufferable twits who are very lucky to be on television. Rios must be for real mentally retarded somehow, I've decided to start looking at him as an inspiration.
