    I see khan beating rios on points, hes very fast and he has decent foot work. Khan is also the bigger man. Khan showed he has a good chin @ 140 by taking maidana's bombs.

    Rios and maidana would be a war.. 2 hard nosed *******s going at it until someones will gives in. I would have to go with maidana by late TKO, maidana is the proven puncher @ 140.. Rios only has one gear and thats seek and destroy.. everyone knows you dont slug with marcos, dudes a ****ing beast! Brandon is a true warrior but he will meet his fate if he fights the bad ass from south america.. He will be walking into the lions den.


    Dont get me wrong im not a rios hater.. Im a fan of his but I just dont think he will be affective at the higher weights.. Maybe he will prove me wrong!

    I think he'll be even better at 140.

    Until he meets a masterful Boxer with pop. 140 will be a tougher slog for him, but he will be right in the mix with the top guys.

    His longevity will suffer also. He is already getting rocked by guys at 135.

    135lbs he is a beast! at 140lbs it remains to be seen but I believe he could still be a threat at 140lbs!
