    my friend, get real...

        why the **** would you have this fight at a catchweight? Khans holds two belts if it was at your ****** ****ing weight neither would be on the line,

          Casual fans don't care about catchweights and alphabet titles.

          Rios vs Khan would be like a mini Leonard vs Hearns assuming its promoted the correct way(wouldn't be with Arum involved)

            Khan would box his head off. Rios can't box, just a crude brawler/slugger.

              except that neither of them are even remotely near as good and the fight would be nowhere near as significant, so not really that much like it at all, even a mini version.

                  Sadly this will never happen because Arum is a greedy and selfish pig
                  they can just make the fight at 140. but i see khan beating rios. khan will just overwhelm rios with fast combinations..he'd just have to keep the fight in the middle of the ring though.

                    **** catch weights.

                    If they fight in 2012, it should be at 140.

                    Period.

                      I hated Rios before, but I want him to smash Kahn. I don't see that happening, though.
