    I think Rios beats him. Very bad matchup for Khan, stylistically.

    Hah thats what people said about Judah. Khan is too fast and powerful for Rios. Would be an easy night for Khan if he sticks to a game plan.

    I would like to see Rios have 1 or 2 fights at 140 before fighting Khan. If Brandon can carry the same sort of power and have the same sort of resiliance at 140 then it would be a great matador vs bull sort of match up.

    Kahn is just gonna hold rios all night. He would probably get disqualified depending on the ref.

    Its funny how Rios is getting all this publicity whe he beats the weakest of the lightweight champions, then beats the guy who the previous champion had already knocked out.

    He has yet to face a P4P fighter.

    Against Khan he would be eating right hands all night and would lose quite quickly.

    Rios is far too big to stick around at 135 for long. He gained almost 15 lbs between the weigh-in and the ring for the Peterson fight. That is over 15 lbs, that is big even for somebody at 140. Rios isn't too small for Khan.


    BTW what was Khan's in ring weight against Judah??

    I think Rios loses pretty handily to Khan right now.

    Rios v. Maidana would be a FOTY candidate for sure.

    Anyway, this is a genuine 50/50 fight in my opinion. Rios definitely has the style to give Khan major problems, and possibly beat him, but Khan has the speed, length, power and skill to also outbox him. It would be a great fight, that's for sure.

    If so, that's the same weight Rios came in at for the Peterson fight.
