    If he fought anything like his fight with Murray, Khan would stop him.

    He looked average against Murray, imo.

    He looked so horrible at the weigh-in for that fight. I doubt that version shows up for Khan at 140, expect his best.

    I've been wanting this fight for some time now. If Maidana gave Khan that many problems, Rios will finish him.

    Would love to see it but I doubt the Bobfather would risk one of his stars against a GBP fighter.

    Hes right. Rios has no skills. Hes got youth and desire thats about it. A technician will tear him a new arseholse. Rios would get stopped rather quickly. Garcia is getting his fighters in shape but thats where it ends. He doesnt know very much about preparing gameplans and getting guys to box and use their brains. Rios and Margarito are proof of that.

    This................

    We will see Bradley vs Rios first, since TR is grooming Rios to be a future Manny Pacquiao opponent

    I'm not as confident as Roach is. However, if Khan was to take this and win, it'll be his most impressive win to date (depending on how he wins, of course). Rios' style would be a nightmare for him.

    I think Khan beats Rios right now. Rios' best chance to beat a guy is if they stay in front of him. He'll have diffuculty w/ movers, and Khan can move well. Combine that with his fast hands, good power, and quick combinations, doesn't bode well for Rios just yet.

    If they were to fight, Khan would win. But Rios would make him really work for it.

    I don't see that. I see Khan's nightmare being this Saturday, to be honest.

    Rios actually stopped a couple of times after Murray's body shots. Might have been because of the weight, but I think Rios is made for Khan.

    Rios is a shithead

    Freddie knows

    Taking the **** out of parkinsons is a disgrace

    and he is in the sport of boxing? - how stupid can you be

    His style is weak and rely's on power and fitness

    Khan would murder him...

    But the only fight which will keep Khan @ 140 is Bradley


    Rios thinks he's tough? I say stick him in with Maidana.. Maidana would probaly make him quit and cry
