    I think Khans ring generalship, speed and movement would cause Thurman a lot of problems in the ring and would have him chasing Khan all night . . . . . that is till his power starts to wear Khan down and drags him into a fight in which case there is only one winner.

    Thurman hasnt exactly fought a Miguel Cotto or a Marcos Maidana but one thing you cant overlook is his power, Khan has proved himself against better opposition but his chin is always going to be in question in fights, especially since he left Ariza/Roach

    Luis Collazo stunned him
    Julio Diaz knocked him down
    Danny Garcia knocked him out
    Lamont Peterson hurt him on several occasions
    Marcos Maidana beat him senseless for several rounds

    after taking all that punishment to move up in weight and fight arguably the hardest hitter at 147? why do you think theyre talking about fighting Robert Guerrero?

    But do you not think people are overlooking Thurman's chin? Imagine getting rocked like he was against Soto Karass against a decent finisher (which Khan is), he'd be lucky to get out of the round.
