i think Brandon Rios would beat khan at 140lb

khan gets taken out of his gameplan when he gets popped in the mouth and usually takes a couple rds to get back into his groove.
that will kill him vs bam bam...Comment

I think rios has a great inside game. If he can make it a brawl I give him a big chance to beat khan.Comment

did you think that before Khan lost to Peterson?Comment

Another example of people underestimating Peterson, it isn't just pressure that beats Khan, Peterson used pressure with a high level of skill, technique, strength and speed. And even then he was hurt, had to come through adversity, and arguably lost. For me Rios doesn't have that kind of overall package, he is a bully that will come unstuck at that kind of level, Rios can't just blow through khan. Don't get me wrong it's a fun fight, and a competitive fight, but let's him against a solid 140lber, putting on weight between fights don't mean ****, Ricky Hatton walked around at 170lbs but when he fought at 147 he didn't have anywhere the same advantage in strength
Khan turns every fighter into a pressure fighter because they can't live with him on the outside, and he can't fight on the inside. He has a lot of improving to do.Comment

I personally didn't, and in a sense, I'm still not sure Rios could beat Khan, but I do think he has a greater chance now. That's the beauty of boxing, one day we're dead on with our predictions, another day, we might look like we "don't know **** about boxing." None of this is written in stone, which is why we watch, isn't it?Comment

i think if Rios can ride the early storm for the first four rounds sure enough somewhere in the last four rounds he knocks Khan out, khans pop is all but gone after his early flurries and if you walk him down he crumbles, minus the cheating in the Peterson fight he would not have made it to the end.Comment
