    What in god's name are you talking about I don't hate Khan at all? I never have. I just think Thurman is a bad style match up for him and will put him to sleep. I've always enjoyed watching Khan fight and have rooted for him in most of his fights too.

    Betting on Thurman.

    Betting Khan won't take fight.

    Khan wants nothing to do with punchers. Including Brook.

    If Thurman tries to straight up box Khan, then he will surely lose the decision but if he can get khan on the backfoot and against the ropes then Khan will be ko'd in a heart beat.

    Thurman will nastily shatter Khan's mandible with a nice juicy beefy Florida Knuckle Sandwich.:deal

    I noticed that Thurman sits down on almost all of his punches. Thurman wins via KO round 5

    That is actually a really good point. He might not even take the fight vs Thurman.

    Khan has been put on qu**r street by so many fighters. Thurman doesn't hit the hardest, but you better believe he hits harder than most of the dudes who have shook Khan.

    Khan is a better match for Floyd stylistically than Keith, but Keith is a death sentence for Khan. Khan would look great in spots...but Keith is going to connect at some point and then it becomes a tour de France for Khan until he gets stopped.

    Thurman will land and when you hurt Khan he finds it incredibly difficult to recover, I just cannot see Thurman not landing on him and when was the last time Khan fought somebody who can punch hard enough to inflict serious damage?

    It was interesting that from about the 3rd round onwards. Thurman really started to use the ring. He moved more than Khan does and that saying something and from the 5th onwards he took a lot of power out of his punches. He didn't want to engage at all and it would have been interesting for Collazo to continue 'cause Thurman didn't look impressive at all.

    I think Thurman is pretty vulnerable especially when shooting the left hand he is wide open if someone can time him.

    I think his power is over rated at the top level he is a Knock down not knock out puncher (still enough to KO Khan) but if Khan can box sensibly his extra hand and foot speed might just be enough...

    Its a 50/50 fight that id lean towards Thurman in...would be a good test for both fighters.. Get it on already.

    Algieri landed a lot on Khan. Thurman can do the same.
