    Rios by KO if he brings his power up.

    Rios at 140 would be a BEAST... he draining to make 135... 140 needs to be on the lookout.. and hope RIOS don't move soon..

    RIOS KO 10 KHAN

    I know Khan isn't big enough to make the move to 147

    Nor has the power or chin to keep up with 147...

    140 is his home. Unless he gets some super ariza drinks to boost that power...

    because he does have great speed and stamina and if matched well can do good.

    Rios could definitely win, but I feel like Peterson's pressure is more about surprise. Khan could exploit Rios's lack of height more effectively and turn him while targeting his body. I put a draw, 50/50 for me. I don't have so short a memory.

    Kahn is 5' 10" and Rios is 5' 8". I don't see 2 inches making that much difference.

    Good fight and I think I'd lean towards Rios. I think Khan should stick at 140, if he can, I don't think he has the success he thinks he will at welterweight. Khan-Peterson 2 probably happens next but I think a Peteson-Rios fight would be a nice second option, considering Rios beat A. Peterson this already has an inetersting story line built into it and would be a very good match up.

    We can talk about Rios' weight problems all we want, most Brits predicted that Murray wouldn't make it past a few rounds(I said he would give a better fight than expected, but still lose badly), and most Brits would admit that Murray is Brit/Euro level at best...wow, Khan can't fight on the inside...like we didn't know that for years, he's still easily good enough to cut up Rios and pick him off.

    Rios is no great shakes..people say Khan is over-rated (remember I've been accused of being a BIG Khan detractor for years, I won money of the Prescott fight) but Rios is even worse.

    rios and his bloated stomach would be target practice for a fighter like Khan.
