Rios is just as poor as Algeri. Both were punching bags to Pac, Rios just has a chin

    One of the worst fights i have ever seen, right up there with that other certified ***** Joshua Clottey

    Algerie for all of his weaknesses tried, he threw punches and paid the price, landed some, but he tried unlike Rios
    Rios tried to win

    Algeiri didn't

    Watch the fights again

        I want it but it's not realistic now, Thurman is the stereotype of a high risk low reward fighter at this moment, I think Brook would take him if that option would be offered but Hearn doesn't want it and they would only take it if Thurman would get bigger(he will) or if Thurman would be Brook's mando.

          Khan is a small old guy that cant punch? Brook wants Khan.

          Haymon has his own plans for Thurman, hes bringing him up slower than the leap Brook is willing to take. Im pretty sure Haymon is looking to make Thurman-Maidana, The word that Maidana will be out for awhile and Thurman's "injury" keeping him out for the summer, convinces me even more thats where they're headed

            Algieri is a much better fighter than Rios.

            Rios is a certified heavybag, and it's not like he's shown power at 147.

              so many Khan nutthuggers its just crazy,Khan has fought featherfists and has beens since getting Garcia'd

              Brandon Rios brings money to the table because he's always in exciting fights,he also has power and a good workrate,not to mention the chin

              Rios would have a shot vs Khan as he would eat Khans punches to try and land a bomb somewhere

              Algeri has no shot against Khan...Khan does everything better than him in the boxing dept and thats the only way Algeri can fight(by outboxing people) because he has no power

              Khan would easily win a fight with algeri its practically written in stone,why make fights that are so predictable and without drama,its what makes Mayweather Pac such an interesting fight because so many people are split down the middle

              Did anyone really think Paulie Malagnaggi would win against Khan???????

              No and it would be the same here

                Just cause these guys got beat by Pac, doesn't guaranty that Khan or Brook will do the same. This is boxing and usually very un predictable.

                  I really thought Brooks vs Rios is on the bag. Did Brook back out? It appears it's just name dropping to show Khan they had other options.

                    Dig this..........

                    People are so sure when they call professional fighters, "bums". How many of you ever been punched in your mouth? Jaw? And came back for more? Boxing is not a game. There are a lot of idiots in the world and real life punks, who wouldn't survive one round in the ring. Every fight is hard, even if it looks easy. There is no such thing as easy. It doesn't exist in the REAL world. Manny is a very special fighter who comes once in a life time. Chris Algeri is a good fighter with room to improve. He now has a really good trainer in David Jackson. Rios is a C Level fighter with a lot of heart and power. What Manny did to both guys showed his greatness. He won both fights in style and dominate fashion. On May 2nd, history will be made. Manny will go down as a top 5 all-time great. You heard it here first. He's more special than Floyd. He has more heart then Floyd.

                      Eddie Hearn is very confident that Brook-Rios will happen in July.
