    If both fighters beat their opponents, how would you think that the fight would play out? I haven't seen Thurman box yet, so i cannot decide.

    Thurman would brutally KO Khan and end his career.

    Can see Garcia happening again.

    Khan will outbox Thurman quite easily but one shot will ruin his game-plan and Thurman will probably knock him out.

    Khan has upped his game and I think it would be a pretty entertaining fight for as long as it lasted. He got that new hug a bug style and that might carry him a few rounds. Plus I think that he would test Thurman's chin like it hasn't been tested. If Thurman's chin is worthy then his left hook will end the game.

    khans a far better boxer, and will win a majority of rounds, he is however vulnerable to a ko punch.

    I would imagine if Pacquiao vs Mayweather actually happens in may that Thurman vs Khan will be the undercard

    We'll have a better idea after Khan Alexander

    I fully expect Khan to beat Alexander then for Alexander to get matched with Thurman.

    If Thurman can outbox or stop iron jawed Alexander then...welp.

    Thurman not only has LEGIT power, but he has a great delivery system, e.g. speed and technical skill...

    Khan can't survive that fight, I don't see it... He would have to pull off the most perfect gameplan possible

    If Khan fought a disciplined fight and was under Roach, he'd give Thurman a boxing lesson.

    Thurman is still unproven.
