    Rios would expose Khan's Glass Body.

    Rios would **** him inside the ring.

    Rios had two or three good performances but still isnt enough to beat Khan.

    Khan is bigger and wont oblige to fight in Rios's stylistic favour. Easy Ud win

    I am thoroughly convinced it would look like Maidana-Khan minus the early knockdown, and with Khan getting knocked out in the 8th-9th or 10th round.

    Khan doesn't have the chin to handle Rios' power, and he'll NEVER be a defensive wiz, idc who trains him.

    Khan would **** him up and stop him late

    It's amazing.

    No matter how many times Khan gets exposed, his groupies STILL seem to believe he's actually good.

    Khan isn't ****ing up ANYBODY. He does well against guys who fight off the backfoot and box with him, but he simply can't handle a guy who stays in his face.

    Rios would eat Khan alive.

    this, also khan gets caught with wide punches, rios throws alot of compact punches.

    I think Rios gets overrated as hell on here, but he's a horrible style for Khan. Bam Bam can be outboxed, but Khans problem is that when he gets tagged he decides to ditch the boxing and go toe to toe, which suits Rios down to a tee.

    When pressured by Peterson, Khan was bullied back to the ropes and was eating heavy shots. Rios weathers the early storm, drags Khan into deep water then drowns him.

    My sentiments exactly.

    Before every Khan fight, we here the same thing from Brittards and Khan nut-huggers.

    Easy work for Khan....Khan outboxes him easily... Khan too fast and too strong ect ect

    When the **** will these people learn that a) Khan has average defensive skills b) a suspect beard c) no inside game d) simply does not hit hard enough to back up and keep honest a hard punching, take-one-to give fighter like Rios?

    Khan, as usual, will have his moments early in the fight. Indeed he might even shut Rios out over the first 2-3 rounds. Ultimately, however, Brandon will grow more accustomed to his speed and he'll catch Khan.

    And we all know what happens next.

    He'd defintly thrustrate rios.

    The ref tried to rob Rios by allowing illegal tactics. Take the points for the 86 holds and Abril would have been in the minus points catagory.

    Kahn's cardio would have to be tops cuz Rios would keep the pressure up.

    Yeah just like he ate Abril alive.

    Khan is on a different level to bum bum if he can learn to fight smart he beats him no problem
