    That may be true but, it's definitely not his place to say it. I am more so wondering what that comment is about, jealousy for Khan headlining, trying to upset Khan in the hopes Khan calls him out, or future excusing of himself to not fight Khan, aka ducking.

    Look, similarly you'll have to agree when I say Khan destroyed and stopped Molina like no one has who was undefeated and went on to give Broner a competitive fight. People say Khan got smacked around by 'a past prime lightweight' Diaz and still it was a clear UD for Khan but remember Thurman fought that very same old guy afterwards. Don't tell me Karass was in his prime for Thurman too. I can make a similar argument for him with Barrera or even Collazo since he was coming off a KO win over Ortiz and gave Mosley, Hatton and Berto tough fights but again Khan dominated him in a way none of them could. See where I'm going with this?

    I like seeing Thurman in the ring, his technique etc but in order for him to get the same respect as guys like Pac, Canelo, Guerrero, Bradley or heck even Brook or Devon he needs to fight legit dangerous, prime, live fighters who are a threat to his record or arguably untested (but shook by Karass) chin. Sure you can argue about Khan's last 3 opponents but he's already risked it with Judah, Paulie, Maidana, Garcia, Peterson and many before and now with Alexander.

    Inb4 Thurman di.ckriders.

    You don't always win fights by KO. Look at Floyd or his opponents - all power no skill whereas Floyd's the opposite.

    He impressed and did what he had to do with his first WW fight.

    Yes Thurman fought that same old Diaz that everyone was calling a past prime lightweight and nobody was complaining then. Watch the Diaz fight it again in an unbiased view and he went 'life & death' only for 2 or 3 notable rounds at most. And you're not gonna point out that Khan was going through a transition of style under a new trainer - heck even I thought he looked like **** then

    So Molina becomes a good win for Khan because he gave Adrien Broner (who sucks) a close fight that he clearly lost... This being immediately after his embarrassing beating to Maidana... Not that impressive, especially when you consider that he dragged him up from Jr. Welterweight (a concept Thurman commented on in the video, if you still haven't watched it)... Not a good welterweight victory by any means...

    When you think about how Chavez was BEATING Rios before the DQ... DQ mind you, not KO loss, or decision loss, DQ... That's why it's proven to be a solid win... A True Welterweight with KO power and boxing skill... Thurman STOPPED him, not a decision win, KO.

    And Thurman fought the same old guy afterward... AND STOPPED HIM... Don't disregard the quality of a KO victory. Again, Khan life and death... Thurman KO in 4...

    Didn't say Soto Karass was in his prime... But after dominantly outboxing him, which is do-able and wouldn't have been generally all that impressive on it's own, Thurman KNOCKED HIM OUT... Only done by one other guy, and that guy had a much harder time doing it...

    Khan vs Collazo was one of the worst fights I've ever seen. Sure, he dominated him in a way that has never happened before... But it wasn't like it was the impressive skillful performance... It was an ugly sloppy fight, I remember at least one of the knockdowns came when Collazo was complaining to the referee... It was ugly and unimpressive compared to what Thurman has done to equal competition.

    So I guess you're not one to acknowledge the fact that he calls all these guys out but no one in the division wants to fight him... He called out the winner of the main event at the press conference... But I guess since that doesn't matter to you, we won't go there lol


    Again, watch the videos on him before you judge him... He says Khan, based on name value alone, deserves the Floyd fight before himself. He admits that... Name-value opponent and actual quality opponent are 2 different things... E.g. bringing up Paulie and Zab and referring to them as risks because of their name value and no other reason

    People actually did complain about Thurman fighting Diaz. Those didn't only didn't because they acknowledge that Thurman has been calling bigger names out, but they've been ducking him and so he had no choice... Or they remember how much trouble Diaz gave Khan and how much trouble he gave Porter, so they let him slide...

    At the end of the day, early Thurman KO victory... Khan long hard fought decision victory... It's 2 different kinds of wins that mean 2 different things

    Khan hasn't fought anybody that Thurman can't handle right now. Thurman looked much better against Diaz than he did. I'd wager that Karass would give Khan more trouble than he did Thurman and might possibly knock Khan out. Khan has improved as a fighter but if he fought Thurman, I would give the nod to Thurman. You can't get angry because he said Khan is over rated. That's just boxing and how he feels.
