Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Can Dismantle Khan Just Like Garcia Did

[KTFO]

Thurman has one pedestrian fight and people slam the guy. As far as I'm concerned, he has more than a punchers chance against any Haymon guy at 140-147 including Khan, Garcia, Broner, Maidana, Mattysse, Alexander, Guerrero. Along with power he has hand speed, good mobility and controls range extremely well. All the tools necessary to neutralize Khan's strengths or top any other contender at 147. *I say Haymon guy because that is the reality boxing is in*

A case of the pot calling the kettle black-- Thurman calling Khan unproven at WW.
Khan gains nothing and risks everything from fighting Thurman, so I doubt this fight happens. Brook is the best fight for Khan; hope he comes to his senses and makes the fight instead of chasing Mayweather.

The problem is that pedestrian performance came on the biggest stage he's ever performed on and that's what people remember especially casual fans. Thurman has given people every reason to ignore him now.

I like Thurman as a fighter and personality but he got booed out the building the night after he was talking about how he was all about "knockouts for life!" and how he was going to destroy Mayweather. Not a good look.

There's a reason Khan chose tasks like Collazo and Alexander at welterweight. Khan chose the easy routes and is scared to even mention Thurman's name.

This isn't a fight I'd like to see. It would be entertaining, but I'm a fan of both guys and don't wanna see either one lose.

If it did happen though, I think Thurman would knock Amir out

At this stage I don't see it, why? Because Thurman is not tentative yet. He is all about power and if he can't land or lands and can't put you away he finds it difficult to implement something new to change that.

Khan can box this guy easily and hurt him but if he gets hit is lights out for him

Khan has the dumbest team in all of boxing, don't be surprised if they go ahead and fight Thurman in his hometown because they wanted to prove that Khan would fight anyone. They did that with PEDerson and Garcia.

You will NOT hear a peep out of the Khans on this. He does not want to be associated with anyone that can break an egg. Thurman asked Hymon to make this match Al made Khan v Alexander.This will quiet the Khans, like I said you won't hear a peep. Thank god for Thurman, one can only imagine the flashbacks poor Amir will get from this article. Go and fight another feather fisted foe and carry on making a twat of yourself, that really is you.

All fighters should have that kind of attitude and mentality.
