    Rios has been a punchbag for most fighters he's been in with in the last while.

    stupid plan if he fights rios then khan.

    he already got his stepping stone in porter why fight another in khan?

    1.porter (stepping stone)

    2. rios (showcase-dec/jan timeframe)
    -presumably to showcase his boxing ability against a flat footed guy. but rios can make it ugly. he is stronger/bigger than porter to me -porter more explosive- and has actually longer reach than both and can take a punch. and has shown in the past he can go 12 action-packed rounds.

    if he wins in an ugly, highly disputed fight ala gracia-herrrera *couch*cough*, maybe, going the khan route isnt a bad idea.

    but if he wins easily as they expected, go directly to the goal which is;

    3. pac/corpsejr (may/june timeframe).
    - he loses to one, he still has khan or a rematch with porter/rios or even berto or provodnikov.

    - he wins, he fights the others star. he wins again, he is the next legit mega star.

    - he wins and loses to the other, he is already in the mixed with elites, ala bradley/macne, commanding millions per fight.

    Scrap this fight I see the Brit running and hugging for his life. KELL had his opportunity to impress under the California sun. Whilst he won he certainly did not make anyone bat an eye lid.

    Now back to business...

    I want to see that Oompaloompa Porter vs Rios since Porter likes an inside scrap. Rios would oblige and treat him like a rag doll me thinks.

    I like rios but i think brook batters him and the corner stops it, rios chin is to good for his own health and think he will take a frightful beating. He should move to lww

    Or better still
    Porter vs rios
    Provo vs lukas
    Winners of the fights face each other at either welter or lww what ever they can agree too

    YES, indeed. Kell had his opportunity to impress under the California sunshine but didn't. He would have the toughest time against a mauler in Bam Bam. Who has an ATG chin and proven under any circumstances to give anybody hell.Except for Abril the Cuban octopus expert at grabbing a man.He is better than "Ricky Hugton" at it actually.

    Brookie has proven he is smart enough to lock down BamBam, all he has to do is do it again effectively ie prove he can maintain the standard of his last fight.

    Rios would be the perfect opponent for brook to shine like the great boxer he is ,but bob arum has better paydays else wear for Rios so they wouldn't take the chance of another lose for Rios

    Brooks would out box Rios bad. Rios is way too slow ( chavez was tapping that ass).

    Rios by KO. Brandon even hurt Pacman early. The only thing Pacman had over Rios besides being a southpaw was surprising speed. Rios' second fight with Alvarado was a close fight. Rios and his corner made the mistake of thinking he had the fight in the bag so he stepped off the gas. Anyone who discounts Rios' defense, inside counter punching and really good jab and left hook will pay the price.

    Rios did not look good in his last fight. Is there something wrong with him? He did not look like he did sometime back...............
