Call me crazy but after this present revelation of just how dominant Floyd really is, all of a sudden the Pacquiao fight seems a bit more appetizing.
Yes, Pac got blitzed by Marquez and may never be the same - but let's not forget that Pacquiao actually looked *very* good before getting the plug pulled out the socket by that brilliant J.M.M overhand right.
If he can look just as dynamic (without getting knocked out lol) against Rios, would that reinvigorate the Floyd-Pac noise? Not even a little bit?
I just look at the all available opponents for Floyd and simply do not see a viable challenge. Sergio? Sure, if he can get down to 152 or 154, but I still feel Sergio blew his load in the Chavez fight and will never be the same. GGG? lol we might as well throw Ward into the mix - along w/ B-hop - because cats are really reaching to find an opponent by citing guys 2 full divisions heavier than Floyd.
Anyone at 147 or below excite you as a potential Floyd opponent? See, I just don't see Khan, Garcia, and 140 guys giving Floyd much of a run. Floyd is not only bigger than those guys, but he now fights big, too. He was the bully in the Canelo fight - and I think he'd bully those guys as well.
Yes, Pac is also smaller, but I just see the southpaw, unorthodox style possibly making the fight interesting - as it was v. Corley (at least for a round) and Zab (for 3/4ths of that competitive fight)
I'm hoping for a dynamic pacquiao performance against Rios because (1) let's face it, Floyd needs an opponent who at least makes you think the fight might be somewhat competitive; and (2) pacquiao is really, really fun to watch when he's on.
