    Should khan get past molina and if rios gets destroyed as i feel he will over the weekend i think these 2 should get it on, they both kind of let down their respective promotional companies, it would be a decent fight for khan, and would throw him back up their in the top 5 at 140 but it could also be a fight that could easily finish him, rios has power and fights well on the inside

    I really don't think it would be.

    Rios can still punch and that would be the deciding factor, It would need a faultless performance I'm not sure Amir's capable of.

    Rios is a much better fighter than Garcia imo, far more dangerous for Khan

    Until we see major improvements with Hunter Amir should stay away from Rios

    Rios would smash him up worse than the Brum Town Bullies did.

    He has a good shot against either IMHO

    Rios isn't the tank he was made out to be and I said that before Abril made a clown of him

    And Prescott made Alvarado look like a child at times, he actually had him turning away holding his face at one point he busted him up so bad, Alvarado came back well, but neither guy have looked like killers in their last fight at all.

    This should be a good one, but if Khan got through Maidana and McCloskey, who has beaten a lot of the guys Alvarado has not just Prescott, this is not an impossible task for Khan at all.
