    I will disagree. Garcia's knock out record is ok and he has put a lot of good fighters down, his power is pretty good. Prescott has very good power, just not the boxing ability to go along with it.

    If the money is right, Khan would fight Thurman, I think, but clearly fighting Brook will bring more money

    Garcia has above average power but hasnt stopped anyone of note other than khan and his ko% 50 ish. Prescott's power was only against lesser fighters when he stepped up he didnt ko anyone.
    Khan imo will steer clear of a puncher unless its last resort for a title

    If he wants manny or fmj then beating brook and gettting a title then beating thurman would help greatly.

    Agreed. Brook is an ideal opponent for Khan right now - decent money, leverage for future fights, IBF title, Brook not a devastating puncher...

    Garcia's knock out ratio is 59%, not 50%.

    Prescott does NOT have "very good power."

    The ONLY fighter he's ever KOd who wasn't a Columbian cab driver is Glass Jaw Khan.

    Khan's opponents have always been carefully picked and why wouldn't they be? You think his promoters don't know he has a Chin with the consistency of dried horse ****? The whole world knows.

    Problem for Khan is that brook has enough power to knock him into next week, ditto thurman

    I said 50 ish and no one with 59% ko is considered a puncher. He ko no one other than khan. Amir is fun to watch but he needs to take risky fights if he wants fmj or manny

    KO percentages mean very little. Garcia has big power in his left hook.

    Kell Brook is the best match for the king Khan. Khan should to accept this challenge and bout Brook to prove himself worthy of bout with Floyd/Manny or someone else. He should prove himself prior to go for memorable fights.

    You don't consider Brook or Bradley risky fights? Either of those fights would be good enough for me.

    Khan is a flawed fighter, but I can't fault him for not taking risks, he has had the most number of fights against top class fighters out of any current British boxers other than Froch.

    Like who? He fought Maidana, Judah and Garcia who were some of the bigger punchers at 140.
