    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

      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

        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.

          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

            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
