After watching the fight with floyd and guerrero, all i can say that guerrero is one of the worst champion ever in the history of boxing...I aint watching him fight again, hell no....While bam bam rios is a warrior, and i think the reason why he lost to alvarado is because he fought alvarado lightly...I think rios is way better fighter than guerrero and has more heart...
I'm not a huge fan of Roberto Guerrero but lets make no mistake about it he's a more accomplished and well rounded fighter than Brandon Rios. That's no disrespect to "Bam Bam" but we have to call it for what it is and Rios is a very strong, tough, and exciting fighter, however, he's more of a TV friendly fighter than he is an elite level fighter.
He was chosen because stylistically he'll make Manny Pacquaio look like God Almighty in Boxing trunks. Nonetheless, I don't want to turn this into a Floyd fight this guy and Manny fought that guy bashing session.
Floyd and Manny are on two different trajectories; Floyd was coming off a layoff and the biggest question mark was the rust factor. Manny is coming off a knockout loss and this biggest question here happens to be "is he the same guy"...and so I think thats why the opponents differ a bit.
I think Pacquaio-Rios is will be an exciting fight and I think it's a great chance for Manny to look against a tailor made opponent. This is a showcase fight and if Manny looks the part maybe a match up with Floyd isn't out of the question after all.
If Roberto Guerrero and Brandon Rios were to fight I'd have to pick Robert Guerrero. He's versatile, he has the ability to take a nice punch, and I don't think Rios would be able to overwhelm him with size which is huge for Brandon.
Rios lost to Abril but got a gift, and he was clearly beat in the Alvarado rematch. Both of those guys are inferior to Guerrero.
Guerrero would beat Rios by decision, and do it convincingly. Rios is a human punching bag w/ good offense, he just stands in front of you and takes punishment trying to land punches.
A guy as one dimensional as Rios will lose to a lot of elite fighters, and Guerrero is one of those guys.
Ghost would not only beat on Rios, he would literally beat him UP.
Face first works if you can withstand it. Guerrero can make you pay for that. AND there is always the point that at some weight class you are elevated to, you no longer can lead with your face because point blank they just hit too hard.
Rios has already gone up one weight division, going up to welter would be two. I dont think he could lead with his face there and do very well.
guerrero...
bam bam is a tune up fight...
w/c by the way pac doesnt need...
he needs to race for the remaining belts
pac cherry picking...rios?????
man, pac fighting those class-c welters holding the wba and ibf titles, that's cherrypicking...but yet brilliant due to his so called "concusion"....
yet he aint and go for a harder class-b opponent rios...
got no relevance to his career but to shake off the rust after 10 months suspension
maybe arum wants to test pac's remaining power...man i dont know, this fight is stupid just like floyd/guerrero
The Ghost would beat Rios pretty easy.
I read some s**ts to the effect that Pacquiao was "cherry" picking on Rios. And Floyd ain't to Guerrero.
