    What the **** does the Abril fight have to do with Khan? Do the two fight anything alike? Ummm.....no.

    ****, Richard understands how to clinch. That alone distinguishes him from Khan.

    What 86 holds? Please show me evidence of all this holding, Abril used the shoulder beautifully to neutrlise Rios completely, I didnt see a lot of holding, Rios fans just made that up to discredit Abrils shutout

    2 mins in, only footage of the fight I can find on youtube

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X8f2GHheR0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X8f2GHheR0[/ame]

    This is basically how the entire fight looked, cant see any 'illegal tactics' from Abril, just a perfectly executed gameplan and beautiful shoulder roll defense on the inside

    *I wouldn't say he's a bumm... BUT, it surprises me that he's undefeated.

    khan is still an upper echilon fighter. The guys that beat Khan have some speed and power... ALSO, ive been saying that Rios is a small 140 pounder... all that said, Khan will bust him up..RSC in the 9th.

    I did, but as stated, you won't see it. Two judges did so that is enough for me.

    A Khan groupie?

    Hardly, not one of my favourite fighters.

    Rios is overrated, Khan would have his dodgy moments due to the style Rios has but he would **** him up and it would tell late on.

    Same here. Rios is actually decent at cutting off the ring and closing distance, and Khan's poor footwork won't allow him to keep the fight where he wants it. People always rant about "oh if Khan fought like that.....". Then he wouldn't be Amir Khan. He simply lacks the generalship to keep the fight at the tempo and location where he wants it, Rios would take it to him and beat him up.

    He is the prime example of people overrating speed and thinking that having flashy hand speed means you have real top-notch skills.

    For a world class fighter, his actual skills are poor.
