What do you think about Khan trying to be all buddy with Thurman. He knows Keith has been calling him out and talking **** about him. Before Khan acted like he didn't even exist and now he wants to be friends instead of responding to the challenge. I see fear.
All Khan keeps doing is naming all the weak links in the division like guerrero, alexander and lopez. Most likely he'll take on the weakest in Lopez.
Just checked out most of the posts in this tread. Some saying Thurman needs to step up. You can't really fight a man that isn't willing to fight you. That said there's Devon who's probably the bravest of welterweights and I'd like that fight for Thurman next.
Furthermore, Khan didn't look scared to me. Both gave a respective interview. I'd like to see the best welterweights fight the best welterweights just as much as the next man. Unfortunately boxing is a business as the hardcore fanbases of certain fighters like to point out to justify busted fights. Which is why a professional fighter like Thurman even stated he doesn't understand the governing bodies himself.
If boxing fans supported the sport and pushed for the best fights instead of hugging on one fighters nuttsack, maybe we'd get the fights that need to be made. But when you have fans supporting the (business) end of the sport, like they're getting paid, we get busted fights. You make your bed, you sleep in it.
Khan would box Thurman's ears off all night. Eventually he'd slip up and get KTFO though.
Thurman isn't all that though, Brook would knock him out.
that jackson KO in your sig is hypnotic. damn :boxing:
Khan can't fight Thurman with a Floyd fight at stake, after he gets that Floyd fight out of the way, I think he'd be willing to fight Thurman, Khan ain't a cherry-picker.
I think Thurman KOs him.
Truth indeed
Khan thinks he can beat anyone. If he's being friendly it's because that's just how he is.
The same Lopez who (legitimately) KO'd Ortiz almost had Maidana out last year.
Have you seen Lopez last fights. He looks shot. He was getting beat by Ortiz and Maidana hurt his hip hence the wobble. He really hasn't looked good in a while. You can't deny that he's one of the weakest opponents out there.
I doubt Khan fears anyone, at the end of the day Khans at a stage where he needs to make a few decent wins to keep his career relevant whereas Thurman is stuck in a position where he doesn't get anything worth licking his lips.
Bottom line is Thurman called out Paulie because that was at a post fight conference, here he was on national tv, abit different.
Anyway if Keith did call Khan out to his face I hardly think Khan would pull a Paulie on him.
Just watch the video, and I would actually think Thurman is more scare with the way he didn't look at khan way during the whole thing! Khan has prove he isn't scared to fight anyone win or lose, that's one thing I would alway back Khan up with no matter how salty Bradley and Maidana's fans get over Khan.
Khan is just a polite gentle man. A friend of mine ran in to him in Toronto and he said Khan was with his entourage, but when my friend approached him he was so polite about it and made it seem he was his buddy or something.
It's those same kids whose idea of a "beef" is to show up with 20 of their "boys" and say "was up was up" countless times and claim victory that take politeness for weakness.
If Khan is ducking Thurman then Thurman is also ducking Alexander.
Thurman can't even get the Alexander fight done, let alone Khan. Khan's sights are on Pacquiao and Mayweather. If none of those happens, he can opt for the Brook fight which is huge in the UK. Thurman is irrelevant to Khan right now.
Thurman should get real and focus on Alexander. Soon Devon will become unavailable and Thurman ends up with another Soto Karass type.
Yo clearly dont know jack **** about Khan
He is always charming and friendly with everyone, minus Brook ( for obvious reasons)..and that little rivalry he had with Tim
Before I commit on Thurman I want to see him beat someone other that Soto Karas type fighters time to step it up Fight Berto or someone else than Soto Karas that has a heart beat
He knocked out Soto-Karass after Soto-Karass knocked out Berto.
It's not 2010 anymore.

Berto? You mean the same Berto, that Soto-Karass iced?

probably, but at least collazo was coming from a KO over another well known fighter, lopez in the other hand fought a dude name cobos who has a worst record than salka and looked horrible in doing it
Yeah I agree that Lopez would be a step down. Really don't want that fight.
Josesito Lopez is probably more well known than Keith Thurman.
Khan should fight Guerrero IMO. Alexander would be fine.
