    You won't hear any argument from me there. Garcia KOs Khan 10/10 times.

    Khan's career is almost over.

    He can't beat either Porter or Thurman.

    If he used his legs and speed, and didn't commit to many shots, he could beat Brook, but there is always that chin issue.

    He should be able to beat Brook...but you never know.

    Porter has looked real vulnerable the past 2 fights.

    Despite his small size, he needs to move up to his natural wieght.

    147 is ALL wrong for him.

    At this point, I think Khan by wide decision. Maybe 9-3 or better.:think

    Khan. ....good fight! The speed and style favors the brit. But Porter has power. Anything can happen.

    Khan wins first few rounds and then gets sparked out between rounds 4-6.

    He does not fight Porter because Porter does not

    1)Operate mainly at a lower weight

    2)Have a low knockout percentage

    3)Have a lack of victories at world level in the last few years

    Generally Khan's opponents tick at least 2 of these 3 boxes

    The way Collazo was stalking and stunning him with single shots made him look like he's a power puncher in there when in reality he's not and not even close.

    Khan actually has a better chance against Brook than he does someone wild like Porter. Brook tends to wait, counter and box. He goes aggressive when he has his opponent hurt. Sure, Brook's style is also a nightmare for Khan but Porter's is definitely worse in my personal opinion. Khan can't handle consistent pressure and eventually tires from throwing punches, moving and taking punches.

    There is a reason Khan avoids opponents with any kind of power. A typical Khan opponent is someone who has a 20% to 50% KO rate and he has the height and reach advantage against. If Khan could fight an opponent with 0 KO's he would. That is what a fraud Khan is.

    Khan leaves out on a stretcher .

    Style wise , Porter is SUICIDE for Khan .

    Too much brute strength , too overwhelming for Khan to endure .

    Khan gets knocked out in 2 rnds .

    Him and Thurman would be really good challenges for Khan.

    if he wants to prove himself as a WW and get actual consideration for a fight with one of the P4P best fighters, he needs to go that route and take on the other guys that are similar in age to him in his weight class. A win over either (especially Thurman,) IMO would actually make him look like less of a joke when he incessantly keeps calling out Manny and Floyd.
