    LOL Khan is an inbred Glass Jawed muppet. He can't fight.

    Khan practically schools everyone he fights as technically he's so gifted as a boxer and has speed nobody can cope with but I always have to add this with Khan as he never learns and has fought the same fight 100s of times,quite simply he schools em for the first four rounds and then walks onto his opponents outstretched fist providing all the networks with the KO of the year award,sad but true.

    That's what I thought,he's never been known as a big puncher has he,maybe it's like the Canelo thing in that as soon as they get a big fight folk start going on about how big punchers they are when their record doesn't back it up lol

    Brook fading had more to do with Spence's body shots than anything else. Anyone who says Brook faded because he was weight drained or because of lingering effects of GGG are in denial.

    It was the other eye, dude. And Khan is done. Brook would kill him, not to mention Thurman or Spence.

    Lol. Stop. First of all Khan is an average fighter. Always has been , always will be. So never mention Khan amongst the best fighters in the world. NEVER.

    As for Thurman, no doubt he is one of the best fighters in the world but he can't beat Spence. I've been saying that for a year. It maybe a long time before a WW come along that can beat Spence.

    Yeah, Brook looked real good in a losing effort. When it all boils down, he was on his knees with his glove covering his face in total submission.

    Thurman yes . but KAHN? are you kidding me... he might outbox him in the early rounds but there is no way in hell kahn goes 12 rounds without being caught on his chin.. and when spence did connect it would be over lol... shame really if you put danny Garcia chin on kahn you could have a unbeatable WW lol.

    Khan is really fast and looks great for the first four rounds but he ends up falling into recognizable patterns and he can be set up with body shots, which Spence is good at. I can't picture Khan beating Spence. Khan has nowhere near the resiliency of Brook.

    khan is never winning another fight at this level. khan is an easy win for the top 4 welters. guys like spence, all they have to do is punch with him and he will fall. guys who arent as gifted, all they have to do is time his rehearsed flurries, and he will fall. he may pull off wins against slower guys with average timing, but hes irrelevant as far as rankings go.

    Khan is dangerous early, he was too small for El Pollo.....................Khan has a good chance..................however, Thurman will beat Spence, so will Porter, Garcia? Perhaps, Matthysse, he just moved up to welterweight, but he punches very hard, Brook does not punch hard, Golovkin said so, Golovkin finished Brook's career, he should never have fought Golovkin, he is not the same fighter as before.................he neeeds to retire..............Spence was supposted to be the greatest welterweight in boxing history, no, he is not, I was extremely disappointed in him, he was supposed to knock Brook out cold in the first or second round, instead Brook was winning the fight for 6 rounds or more........................

    He's gifted as a boxer true, that speed is phenomenal. But that's all he has. He can win a few rounds with that speed against top level opposition but eventually they time him coming in and knock him out.

    I won't go over his obvious flaws as a boxer as that's been done to death here and in terms of skills he's actually very rudimentary and just relies on speed. He did show improvement early on with Hunter but he seems to have abandoned what he was taught and regressed back to his old self in recent fights.

    Spence would get to him eventually, probably KO him in the middle rounds. Brook showed if you back Spence up he looks less effective, he has that very wide stance, so clearly likes to be set, but when constantly forced backwards he can't set to let his hands go. But Khan doesn't pressure fighters like that, any kind of aggression and he jumps on to the back foot, he'll fight a fight that will allow Spence to fight his kind of fight.
