    I favor Khan by UD. Thurman's only chance is by KO.

    Against Collazo and Alexander he looked disciplined but they never put him under serious pressure and went for the throat, Algieri did surprisingly, you have to rattle Khan if you want to beat him, Thurman sure likes a firefight despite being able to move a bit if he wants, that'd be suicide against a guy as elite as Khan is at accumulating the points, Thurman is vulnerable himself though but not to the extent that Khan is and Khan's power is respectable but not enough to survive a back and forth affair.

    Thurman could really pressurize Khan.

    hoping to see that fight. Khan should win it. he has the speed and some other things. in addition, Thurman is overrated.

    Khan would outbox and beat Thurman if it wasn't for his chin, but because of this I think Thurman would evenly catch him and take him out.

    Anytime Khan fights a puncher he ends up getting hurt or knocked out.

    I am wondering if Khan would even take this fight. I hope he proves me wrong. Everyone wants to see this one.

    I saw thurman fight with a knot raised on his head the size of football helmet. Fought threw it got a knockdown and a ud. Anybody that hungry for it watch out.

    Hell khan wont even fight for bragging rights in his home country. money hound with little heart.

    I see this fight being pretty obvious to call.

    Khan will win every round for as long as the fight lasts.

    That could be 1 or it could be 10 rounds, but eventually Thurman will land and Khan will go down like a sack of potatoes.

    With a solid chin, Khan could be elite.

    It depends. Even though he hits hard Thurman isn't really an aggressive fighter. As of recent he has been pot-shotting more often than not. If Khan can either take or avoid those punches he can win UD.

    The thing is with Thurman is he is trying to build this reputation as a power puncher and he really hasn't got that much power. Like someone has already mentioned in this thread he just loads up on shots.

    Sometimes Khan seems to be able to absorb heavy shots fine then other times he's all over the place. It's weird.
