    Lol watching the replay and just seen Bum Time taken life and death by Collazo in the 5th. People really think this American hypejob would beat Khan? He wouldn't land a glove, his punch resistance is clearly futile and he's very limited. Khan and Brook would both cruise to wins against Keith FFS. Why does Bum Time avoid getting in the ring with big punchers? Khan has been in with Maidana. Bum Time has no punch resistance and it's a matter of time before he gets shattered.

    Lol he's even struggling in the 7th here. And he's fighting at home against a mentally shot and badly cut Collazo. Remember how Khan totally schooled Collazo and dropped him three times, barely eating a punch all fight? Thurman's body is getting rocked every ten seconds here.

    Honestly looking at that fight, if Collazo wasn't so badly cut, he could have ended that late. Thurman isn't in the same echelon as Khan.

    Looool Thurman got exposed Badly by a 140 lber!!!

    Khan would knock him out based on that performance.

    Guess that ends the mayweather/Thurmann nonsense

    Thurman will lose against most top 10 WWs, khans his best shot of a win because of his chin.

    Thurman don't wanna know about errol spence on mayweather undercard, he's happy to carry on picking on old past it fighters.

    Khan shouldn't be looking at Thurman anyway, if he can't get mayweather he should fight brook or Bradley.

    Thurman can punch, Khan won't go anywhere near him.

    If you want to use triangle theories then Khan got dropped and went the distance with Diaz who Thurman destroyed in three rounds, but boxing doesn't work like that. Fact is since getting battered by Garcia, Khan has carefully cherry picked his opponents and even then it has nearly backfired, see Diaz and Algieri.

    Khan admittedly does himself no favours with some of the rubbish that comes out of his mouth, but in comparison Brook seems to get an easy ride.
    Porter aside who has Brook fought?
    You look at Khan's resume Maidana, Garcia, Peterson, Judah, Alexander etc it seems to me he's been
    prepared to enter the ring against much more dangerous opponents than Brook has.

    Brook gets an easier ride because it was Khan who ducked the Wembley fight for a light-punching opponent at a fraction of the purse. Brook wanted the fight, Khan made excuses.

    Pretty much this.

    Run time doesn't look anything special either. They should make Thurman an offer to come over and let Brook embarrass him. He's a high reward for the risk fighter IMO.

    It'll be funny watching his fans run for cover once he gets beat handily.

    If khan doesn't get Mayweather which looks unlikely unless announced in the next two weeks then he needs to get Big Al to agree to get him Thurman as I think he would do a number on him. I don't know what's going on with Keith - the Bundu fight sent me to sleep,and he ran against Guerreo and was being badly hurt by Collazo..khan would clown him
