Ok before you go and say, well Brandon Rios is already fighting Mike Alvarado in a rematch that should be as epic as a Apache warship following terrorists in Afghanistan while shooting heat seeking missiles and 50 caliber bullets in the most epic fashion because Apache helicopters are pretty much the most awesomest things know to man…then hold up! Because talking about hypothetical match ups is still pretty damn cool, espicially if your talking about them with Freddie Roach.

So Rios has a match in March and Guerrero will probably never fight Manny Pacquiao due to the whole Top Rank/Golden Boy “we hate each other” talk but IF they were to fight, Mr. Freddie Roach belives that Rios would be a more entertaining fight for Pacquiao, ” Rios is more compelling, it is action packed. He is a agressive young kid. He talks a lot of smack, he sells tickets…Robert Guerrero is a good friend of mine, he has helped me out, he defended me when Amir Khan said crazy stuff about me.” So the question many fight fans have is can Brandon Rios and his style of pressuring his opponents non-stop last a full 12 rounds with a Manny Pacquiao? Freddie Roach answers your thoughts, “I think it is a competitive fight. I am a little worried about that fight because it is young vs old. I do not think we are quiet there yet so we would take him out in the late rounds, i think it’s a great fight.”
