When Algieri gets Let Out The Cage, it will be lights out for Amir Khan.

Khan thought beating old, recovering alcoholic Collazo, and fighting Algieri who lost every round to Pacquiao will get him a Floyd fight.

Something tells me Khan's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Look at the khantards coming out and talking about a fight that happened years ago in a division Rios clearly outgrew.

"Abril won every round" Jesus, I doubt any of you guys ever saw the freaking fight. It was a close fight with many rounds difficult to score. I agree Abril won, but it wasn't a whitewash.

Rios is still a better fight than Alexander, and that's what matters.

No I'm pretty sure that I scored damn near every single round for Abril and said so at the time. It was one of the worst robberies in the last decade. I've called Rios "Bum Bum" for years.

It's nothing to do with being a fan of Khan....since I'm also a fan of Brook.

Just calling it like it is. Rios is a name but all in all, he's ****.

I'm curious as to why you think that. Alexander is clearly technically better and has the vastly superior resume

Hatton says Floyd might be running out of opponents, and might "be forced" to face Khan. I strongly disagree.

Floyd has plenty of other opponents. He could fight Brook to unify the titles, he could fight Bradley, who's on the top 10 P4P list, or he could fight Thurman, who some see as the next big thing at WW.

Technically better how? What does he actually do that's technically good?

As explained earlier, Rios is a better fight because Alexander is coming off a loss to Khan who's ducking Brook and another loss to Porter who Brook already beat. He was beaten decisively in both match-ups. What's the point in Brook finishing the hattrick?

Khan is a bit of a wanker, innit?

He actually has something resembling a defence and knows how to actually move.

I'm not dis*****g that Rios isn't a better opponent, but he's definitely not better than Alexander or even Algieri. He is useless on the outside, has average power and can be neutralised on the inside by holding. This isn't anything to do with Khan/Brook/Gavin etc. but just my honest assessment of Rios as a fighter. I would be disappointment as him an opponent for the same reason as I am Khan-Algieri which is because imo it not being very competitive.
