    It would be a great fight at 140 but I would actually prefer it happen at a 143 catchweight I think both guys would be stronger an it would make a better fight.

      If Khan sticks to his skills he can win this one by a wide decision but he would have to control his instincts to brawl. If he starts brawling, he'll get stopped.

        No doubt he could give him a boxing lesson.. But do you really think he's going to be able to keep Rios off of him for 12 rounds?

        I don't.

          Well if Virgil Hunter can instill that discipline in him, he might be able to. I personally think the Maidana fight was a blessing and a curse for Khan. It gave Khan a lot of credibility but at the same time it made him believe that he could take those big shots so he started getting more reckless again. I thought he was quite disciplined with Roach up until that fight.

            Rios By Brutal K.O. that sends Khan to retirement, if this fight ever happens which I doubt.

              I would pay for this fight with the one condition that Amir would have to be trained by Roach for this fight.

                The way I see it anyone who can Box and has superior conditioning can beat Rios.

                  Khan probably should avoid this fight harder than Donaire is avoiding Rigondeaux.

                    Right now Khan;s confidence can't be too good so I think Rios would win.

                      Are these guys not with different promoters and therefore the fight won't happen?

                      If it did, I'd see it similar to the Maidana fight
