I never saw Khan fight that good before. He put it all together and did indeed make a statement. He is a real threat to any 147 pounder alive. He still has to fight carefully. I am sure his glass jaw didn't turn to iron by moving up to welterweight so he can't let big punchers land too many clean hard punches to his head.
That's what I thought as well. I was very impressed that Khan maintained discipline and continued to fight carefully even when he started to wobble Alexander a bit.
In the past might have become overenthusiastic and rushed in and maybe got KTFO. This is basically what I think happened in the Garcia fight. Last Saturday's Khan would have UD'd Garcia that night, imo.
OT:
Keith being realistic about the level of opposition he's about to get into will allow him and his camp to make realistic plans to deal with the different skillsets/attributes they might face in upcoming opponents.
I did not see Thurman say anything about Khan being overwhelming or unbeatable as some of the more hysterical fanbois are suggesting.
Never realized how retarded Thurman was.
At the end of the day I don't care what this dude has to say anymore, he keeps talking big and fighting nobodies, I remember this dude was calling out Malignaggi forever like that was some big game breaking move.
Fight someone, don't blame management for garbage opponents, that's the most ridiculous ish I ever seen.
I thought he was only calling out Paulie because Paulie had THE WBA belt. Keith has had the interim WBA belt for awhile. Paulie ended up getting a better payday against Broner.
How about stop fighting 40 year olds to start?
And please stop with this nonsense of using a belt as legitimacy.
And you still haven't answered the question. Who is he supposed to fight if the opponents he wants are not willing? Until you answer, you're the one talking nonsense. And yes for a fighter like Thurman a belt matters unless you're purposely being ignorant.
"i'm one time, with maidana i'm gonna get one time, but with khan i might not necessarily get one time"
keith thurman
if youre gonna put quotes around something you might as well put what he actually said instead of making up your own variation mate
LMFAO at cutting Comments and hearing what you want to hear :no:
I would advise to listen/watch THE ENTIRE VIDEO and hear what he is saying! He is not saying he would "LOSE TO EITHER" he is talking about "STYLISTIC MATCH UPS"
fuk thurman!
and when he kos someone again youll be on his cawk
thurman kos kahn early! Attacks body then head...then soft chin crashes out for the night!
Thurman admits that Amir Khan is an extremely dangerous opponent.
Dontae's Boxing Nation: "Khan is a threat to ANY Welterweight in the divison"
of course he would be a tough fight for any WW with that new trainer i dont see why people have a hard time seeing that
You guys think khan has a glass chin, wait till "Keith the savior of the ww division thurman" fights a power puncher. Just like Bradley and Alexander, I see nothing special in this guy.
:pat: he has ALREADY fought a power puncher
Malinaggi was WBA champion when Thurman called him out. It's not like he called him out after the Porter fight. He now says he wants Maidana, Mayweather or anybody in the top 10. What else is he supposed to do?
"Im ducking you cuz you bring no money"-P.Malignaggi on keith thurman
Then he saw Khan sweep Alexander. A guy, Thurman himself refused to face, apparently.
Thurman is just telling the truth now. It would be silly to deny the reality that Khan could potentially beat any welterweight.
thats a farse. if anyone can even PROVE it i would like ya to try. They both wanted to fight each other, they let their team know. The team let haymon know, they BOTH never heard anything back.
Such a weak little poosy. I can't believe I used to be such a big fan, I even got into a fist fight with someone because of him. I suspected this though... these past year I posted several times that I noticed a change in style and that I was waiting to see if it would continue... and it happened.
He turned out to be a fake. Fake warrior, fake persona... Just another weak, retreating coward with no balls.
MAIDANA TAKES HIS SOUL AND LIFE. I would bet my entire points on it. WAR MAIDANAAA FOR LIFE BABY!!! THAT's A REAL MAN RIGHT THERE!!! **** THIS SISSY.
What else are you willing to bet?

He cant get the fights if they dont want to fight him. :boxing:

:pat: Thats not even remotely close to the response he gave. At least thanks for the video.

I like Thurman even more after the Bundu's fight. The guy showed another dimension of his arsenal! He can box, has good legs under him and is a Solid puncher. People who can't appreciate his last performance need to follow another sport!
Completely agree there.
