    Damn - everyone wants a piece of Khan.

    I have a genuine fear that twitter is going to be so bad for this forum. Now all any Ameri-bum has to do is tweet some other fighter calling them out and that's it - they're ducking them. The fanboys are going to have a field day.

    "OMG!!!! Khan is ducking Zelenoff! Zelenoff called his bluff and Khan aint even responding. Zelenoff shatters that glass jawed disgrace . . . "

    Don't think fighting Khan after his first KO loss is a smart idea.

    Fake Rios twitter. He was on the grind boxing radio show a while back and said he only has a FB fanpage nothing else.

    A month or two ago, Garcia was bashing Ortiz, talking about how he’s weak mentally and isn’t a challenge to Rios. He said Rios is looking for bouts with real fighters like Khan and Bradley. So yeah, I think they’ve got a firm eye on Khan in the future. And judging by Rios’ style, I think he’ll be a nightmare for him.

    I cant see him troubling Khan much. I mean it will go 12 in which Khan will be cautious but Rios has nothing other than a chin to make it 12 and a wide 12 at that. Maidana actually has some speed so he was able to catch Khan.

    Rios' style is very troublesome for Khan. He hits hard, and he has the chin to walk through Khan's punches too. I think he'll be a very tough fight. If I was Khan's handlers, I'll keep him away from Rios until they absolutely need to fight him.

    i like rios, he is the more skilled version of maidana with less power, he hasn't faced anyone as fast as khan yet.

    Yeah his punches are more compact than Maidana's. He'll certainly lay down the punishment when he traps Khan against the ropes. Khan's speed won't be too much of a problem, because his aim will be to walk through and break him down. He won't have a points win on his mind.

    i think this would be a good fight...a barn burner. IMO i think rios would give khan trouble and has a punchers chance.

    Yeah and Rios is better at cutting off the ring, he's had a good amateur career, but still i think he needs a couple of more fights against speedsters to be ready for khan.
