If Khan gets in with Thurman next would you still class him as the guy whose ducking hard puncher i.e Brook. I don't think Khan has anywhere else to go to be honest, chances of a Mayweather showdown looks slim and he knows himself that the performance he put up against Chris wasn't nothing to be proud about. Win or lose against Thurman none of you will be able to say he ducked the hard hitters of the 147 division.
It will be Broner or someone like Josesito Lopez
Nah doubt it, Khan knew he messed up by fighting Chris and he felt the backlash form the fans, fighting Lopez would destroy him man. I think he know that it's time for him to step in with a puncher at 147
If Broner beats Porter
Khan vs Broner will more than likely be next
which is a good fight
With a win over Broner he cud pitch for Floyds 50th fight
That's right, no catch weight I hope
Khan knows himself that there aren't anymore soft touches in the 147 division unless like you said he could rematch Chris. My instincts tell me hes going to go for either Thurman or Broner

No one would care if he didn't fight Brook, if he got in the ring with Thurman or someone relevant....even Bradley or Marquez. But he didn't.....he fought Algieri.
I highly doubt he's going to fight Thurman. He's running out of non-punchers though unless he rematches Algieri who.....sadly enough.....deserves one.

It would just mean a glass jawed joke has fought the biggest puncher at both 140 and 147.
Whilst the guy calling him out hasn't fought a single puncher in 11 years and wants to continue that trend by calling out a faded glass jawed feather fisted blown up light weight.
All of that won't change the fact he ducked Brook.
True, but wasn't it considered by posters on this site was the only reason he ducked Brook was because he would end up getting koed. If that's the case and IF he got in with thurman surely that reason alone would be thrown out the window
Haymon doesn't take chances with his fighters. The trend with PBC fighters is to fight a nobody after they fight a half decent/decent opponent. Khan looked bad against Algieri which was supposed to be an exhibition to set up a Floyd fight. If Khan doesn't get Floyd, he's definitely gonna face someone like Josesito Lopez next.
Why give a guy props for doing what he is meant to do. Basically what your saying is if kahn had to fight thurman because it was expected, and got KTFO you would give him props even if he lost because he looks like he avoids big punchers. Fighters should aim to fight the best. It should be expected of them. Fu@k this i like him because he gets in there with anyone bs.
I couldn't agree with you more to be frank, I mean I'm not talking from myself when I say I'll give khan props for fighting punchers because like you said it's part of the fight game where the best fight the best. I'm talking for the people on this site who ridicule khan for avoiding big punchers, it's actually similar to the situation with Khan and maidana, wouldn't be surprised if khan beats thurman

He won't fight Thurman, but he'd get plenty of credit if he did.
It doesn't make much sense though. Why would he fight Thurman and get knocked out for little money when he could get £5million+ to get knocked out by Brook...
