    Can Khan win titles off Thurman? I think he could win a few rounds until Thurman knocks him out.

    Khan by spectacular body shot KO. I can see Thurman gasping for air like a fish out of water

    Khan is Thurman's kryptonite

    I'm not sold on Thurman. His the one guy I do see Khan causing nightmares

    I think Khan's style is great against Thurman

    Spence is the only guy Khan should avoid.

    I'd say beating up Broner/Vargas then fighting Thurman at the end of the year is the best possible path Khan could take right now.

    One Time is the only fighter at 147 who is capable of beating Khan. One Time's very fast but he's not a Matrix fighter fast like Khan. However, his combination of speed and power (Shawn Porter said One Time is the hardest puncher he's fought) makes him a very dangerous match up for Khan. That said, this new Joe Goossen trained Khan aka Khan 2.0 still has that insane Maxtrix hand speed but he's also hitting with a lot more authority too, so I wouldn't be surprised if Lo Greco'd Thurman either.

    How many times are you going to allow Khan to let you down.

    The same right hand from Thurman that twisted Garcia's head in first and second rounds lays Khan out cold Canelo style the first time it connects (and it WILL connect).

    Thurman is the only one I'd put as a favorite to beat Khan at 147. He's a harder hitter than Brook (Porter confirmed), his timing is excellent, his ring IQ and ability to adjust to get the victory is second to none, he's just stylistically all wrong for Khan.

    You'd have Khan favorite over Crawford and Spence? I can see him beating Garcia in a rematch, Porter and other top ten guys but Crawford, Thurman and Spence would be too much for him.
