Brandon Rios vs Amir Khan @ 147lbs

Amir Khan may be the better boxer/ more skilled BUT styles makes fights. And all the trainers know that Amir must avoid punchers and thats what Brandons gonna do keep a punchin till he lands the hook to that "elite chin". Rios rocks Amir in 7 i bet. Probably the only prediction id feel confident in a long time

You can't imagine Rios sparking Khan out? :rofl: I can see him dropping Khan, but sparking him out? And then, it'll come AFTER taking a bunch of combinations to the head and losing multiple rounds

The only people that voted for khan were floydgimps. What a surprise!:rofl: You need to lose your obsession with Floyd. I'd pick rios to win but you can acknowledge khan for his achievement as a unified champion.

Maidana >>> Rios After Pacquiao destroys Rios and depending on the outcome of Khan's next fight I think alot of people will reconsider... People act like Rios has got better.. hasn't changed really... Still can't box to save his life just brawl. agreed, I think Khan makes Rios look silly and wins easy

Who has Rios fought that is comparable to Khan? Khan shutout Maidana for 9 rounds, but Rios would walk through him? Alvarado did a poor rendition of Khan's lateral movement and combinations style for the final rounds of the rematch and Rios had absolutely no answer. As long as Khan didn't just let Rios pound him to the body like he did against Peterson, he should win round after round en route to a decision. Julio Diaz is faster than Rios and can actually counter punch from a distance (when's the last time Rios landed a counter punch from a distance?). Alvarado had his lifespan shortened in that bout, and he's nowhere near the worst chin in boxing, and 159 fight night. Rios dropped Anthony Peterson with a counter hook iirc, and ended his career that night. He was regarded better than his brother at the time

People are either overrating Rios or underrating Khan Rios is the favorite, but I can't imagine him sparking Khan out... I see this more as a closer, and slightly more in favor of the puncher version of Khan-Maidana (only Maidana hits harder than Rios) You can't imagine Rios sparking Khan out? :rofl:

I expect the fight would play out exactly the same as khan-maidana. At some point khan will go life and death like he always does and it will be 50/50 if he survives it to win on points.

I am pretty sure Rios would destroy Khan.

Bumping for sorry alt

doesnt mean rios has skill. he is literally a walking punching bag. It doesn't take much skill to KTFO Khan, Prescott did it. Rios was a top amateur and US Olympic alternate, he's not that inept anyway. RJJ says "This Rios is a hell of an inside fighter"

Rios by decapitation.

You think Khan can outbox him for 10 rounds while semi conscious, face down on the canvas doesnt mean rios has skill. he is literally a walking punching bag.

lol too much skill? Rios is a walking punchbag. Khan outboxes him for 12 rounds. You think Khan can outbox him for 10 rounds while semi conscious, face down on the canvas

too much skill, too much will. Rios wins easy. maybe even by knockout, no I'm just kidding, of course by knockout. lol too much skill? Rios is a walking punchbag. Khan outboxes him for 12 rounds.

rios ko by a jab. I think so too, it would be a jab, within 3 rounds

Khan, maybe even by stoppage

Khan is game and gets ko'd in 2 !!!
