Marquez looking at Brandon Rios, not pacquaio

[Kirkland Laing]

Marquez is going to spend the time until episode five gets made claiming all sorts of different things but be in no doubt that he's oing to fight Manny next.

Am I the only one who thinks Rios would beat Marquez? Marquez' chin hasn't exactly been made of steel at the higher weights and I think Rios would walk through Marquez, at least early on, and hurt him.

I don't think Rios would beat Marquez at all, Marquez has the speed advantage, better stamina, and he'll probably pretty much counter Rios at will and would land more than one shot in doing so, the only guys that Rios has beaten up are guys who stand right in front of him, Abril who IMO has less power than Marquez easily picked Rios apart, even Murray was finding success against Rios until the punches accumulated, I'm not saying that Rios doesn't have power but he's no one punch KO artist

Yes On strength and brute force its a point. But Rios is not this tank he is made out to be and has been getting chipped away at in every fight. I think his chin is about to pop open like a Jack n' the box wind up toy very soon.

He gets short circuited off fast volley power. Acosta, Antillon and Alvarado all had him sagging and hurt with combos and they don't have anything close to the sharp accurate shots of Marquez. The sicko in me wants this one to be made because I think Rios goes out on his face.

I could see a possible scenario where Rios wears Marquez down & stops him late

But I just see Marquez being to crafty & countering the hell out of Rios all night

I think JMM would end up walking Rios into something big & that'll be good night nurse!

Unless Pacquiao and his team decide against a 5th fight with Marquez, I see this fight happening, just because of the money JLM could make, I just don't see him walking away from a 10 million plus payday.
If it doesn't happen it will be because Manny doesn't want, that's my take.

BTW, i'd still love to see Rios vs. JMM.. it would be a great fight.

I tend to agree, but I believe Marquez would suck it up like the warrior/champion he is and come back to KO Rios, in any event it would be a great fight.
