When Khan fights smart he is near impossible to beat. Good Khan UD Thurman easy. Bad Khan possibly loses via TKO.
Not sure about it, he can definitely buzz khan but ko him I am not so sure. Khan is defnitely much faster of hand and foot and could easily wind up out pointing Thurman.
khan would outbox thurman easily imho but the likely hood of thurman eventually landing something solid is pretty likely
"Khan fights smart" is 3 words that absolutely do not belong together. In Khan's mind that is probably reality, but everybody else knows better. Khan looked good against Garcia before he got tagged (4th round I think)? He will not look good against Thurman. If Khan had big time power along with blazing hands I'd give him a chance, but no way... He'll tag Thurman a little, but Thurman has to much skill, smarts to accompany his power not to land on Khan within a couple minutes. Not saying he even necessarily knocks out Khan in 2 minutes.. Just saying he will eat Khans heart within the first round.
Nah not buying it sorry. Khan's chin is not as bad as people claim, its not great but its not pure glass like his haters say. How can you say Khan does not have blazing hand speed? the dude can throw 8 punches in a second, nearly everyone he has been in the ring with say he has the fastest hands they have faced. If Khan uses his jab and 1-2's he keeps Thurman at bay all night long.
His defense is terrible, and has no power. He would eventually get caught by Thurman and try to fight his way out and then get KO'ed.
All khan has to do is move, jab, hit him with right crosses here and there and tie him up. If he does that for 12 rounds, he'll retire Thurman. With Virgil Hunter as is Coach, I expect the plan to come through fruition. 60-40 chance fight with Khan being the favorite.
Khan doesn't have a good jab. If this was Thurman-Brook, I have Brook winning by UD primarily because of his great jab.
