Pacquiao is shot. And Marquez is the one who shot him. People still talking like Pacquiao is still the same destroyer he once was. He's not. He's a fishing boat now. Not a destroyer. He's been like that since he got off the juice. You gotta go all the way back to the Cotto fight for his last stoppage win. And that was more of Cotto quitting than a stoppage. So really you gotta go back the near decapitation of Ricky Hatton for his last real stoppage. Clearly his power isn't the same.

Rios hasn't struggled to make 140 to the extent he was struggling to make 135. But he still has struggled. The move to 147 (which really should be his natural weight) will be a good one for him. He'll be stronger there. Rios also has the hunger Pacquiao is missing. He's really gonna be keyed up for this fight
