    Murray is a domestic class fighter from the UK, has no head movement, stands flat footed and is easy to hit and Rios was losing the early rounds.

    I think Rios is overrated by a lot of people. I wasn't impressed with his display against Murray. Sure, he messed up the guys face, but it was hardly a boxing lesson, he just won a war of attrition.

    Anyone has a shot at knocking someone out, but Rios isnt in the same class as Khan and does not have the punch power or punch resistance of Maidana.

    Khan is way too good for Rios at this point in time.

      Khan is too speedy and just a bit more powerful. rios should have 1 or 2 fights at 140 before khan, because his first fight at 140 vs khan, he might get killed..

        This would be an interesting fight. Peterson has more skill and better footwork than Rios that enabled him to stick to Khan like glue. I just don't see Rios being able to do that and I see him being picked off at range.Points win for Khan seems most likely.

          Rios is much more resilient than Lamont, stronger and is a better pressure fighter.
          Rios is definitely a better pressure fighter, but he doesn't have the same speed and reach that Lamont possesses. Rios won't fight Khan exactly the same as Peterson did, because the same openings that were there for Peterson, possibly won't be there for Rios.
