Khan would probably win considering how fast he's right now and the conditioning he gets. Rios, though I don't like his character, I like him to win. He needs to trap, put pressure on Khan. Madaina did it more than once so no reason he couldn't pressure Khan as well and play his game. On the other hand Khan is a different fighter right now. Great jab with skills and great conditioning. Hopefully this fight gets made.
Khan wins and makes it look easy. Rios is an accumulative puncher and has to be on the inside to be effective. Khan stays on the outside and picks Rios apart...probably stopping him late.
Totally agree with this!!!
Why all the hate for Brandon Rios?
He comes across as a bit of a prick but he could just be a hyper guy good entertaining fighter though. If I was him I would stay at 135 if possible and clean up.

Khan would win. But Rios would have a lot more chance than any of these light punching defensive fairy's. He can copy Maidana's blue print and put pressure on Khan.
Brandon Rios is totally unproven and not a "big name" pointless fight, I have Khan by shut out if it happened.
Besides Rios is Top Rank and Khan is GBP, The fight will never happen even if the fighters and the fans wanted it because of promotional egos.
Khan would use good box and move tactics, he would outclass Rios for me. I want to see Rios fight Kevin Mitchell next anyway, a fight I think Mitchell could win if he employed the same tactics that he used against John Murray, as Rios and Murray have a similar style.
