Roger Mayweather will be the first person to tell you that’s he’s not terribly familiar with Manny Pacquiao’s Nov. 23 opponent, Brandon Rios.

When asked about for his thought on the Pacquiao-Rios per view clash, Mayweather needed a brief description of Rios’ qualities as a fighter before diving in with some feedback.

“They gave a good fight for him then,” Mayweather stated.

“I don’t know if he can beat him or not, but if the guy is tough and he brings it to him; [Rios] may get a chance to whoop his *ss,” Roger added, seeming to flip the script a bit. “Because he’s been off for a while too.”
