Thurman hasn't fought Porter so that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
I'm saying Collazo hurt Thurman and he TKO'd Ortiz
Porter stopped a washed up Paulie and some Bonne and there were 5 fights before Paulie where he didnt score a KO
Most of his KO's came very early on, as he stepped up he's not stopping people
He couldnt stop Diaz (two fights), he couldnt hurt Broner etc....
Porter is not a huge puncher, and should not be mentioned in the same breath as Brook let alone Thurman, when it comes to power
Khan is training alone with only his dad and the 'Khan Army' in attendance.
They are all telling him how he is the best P4P fighter on the planet, how Floyd and Manny ducked him, how he will school Brook, he is a PPV cash cow and how every defeat he has suffered was always someone else's fault.
His next opponent is already in sight for May 2016 (Ramadan allowing).
A EBU WW Title Fight with Paulie...Dubai camel ring.
Khan has tweeted it is 50% confirmed so is definitely going to happen.
You could always ask Julio Diaz a guy whom Hearn called a shot blown up glass jawed lightweight after his "draw" with atg porter lol.
I never said porter was great lool... I just challenged the notion that Collazo was a bigger puncher than Porter based on Thurman's experience with them which doesn't make sense cause Keith and Shawn are yet to trade leather. Porter is sloppy with his punch technique but he has good power if he lands clean, He's the only one to cleanly knock out Malignaggi and one of the very few to clearly hurt Alexander (the other was Lucas), which he did quite a few times in the fight.

Last time I talked to his relative which was about two weeks ago
He was pretty certain he was going to fight start of March and then fight brook in early June
Take that for what you want
Also heard he has been training on his own too and not with Virgil which was a worry
Yep,i heard that too a few weeks ago.I think that is partly the reason he's been quiet.I think Diaz would be a good replacement over virgil.Khan hasn't really set the world on fire with Hunter.That style of fighting hasn't really helped Amir improve imho.
Brook will murder Khan now.
Waiting for a money fight to emerge at welterweight I guess. He should really be pumping up the Brook fight as much as possible. If they can make that a good fight there's a big money rematch their too. Don't know why he's so indifferent about it.
Porter aint a powerful puncher, never was and never will be.
Collazo hits harder than Porter and that is a undeniable fact, ask Thurman
Thurman hasn't fought Porter so that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
People have wanted the brooke fight for like 5 years and khan has avoided it every time.
Thurman, brooke and porter all hit too hard, khan will not fight any of them.
Khan has hand picked guys with lower punching power since his loss to garcia.
Now that you mention it, I could see him taking a fight with guerrero. Its a big enough name to make some $$ and his power is low enough for khan to be comfortable.

I'm thinking a Brooke fight is very likely to happen. Every big name for Khan now is taken and Brooke is still on the side lines. Khan truly is only interested in a big money fight, I believe Khan will retire here shortly.
Spence will have to be okay with fighting the loser of Thurman/Porter or Garcia/Guerrero.

I say he takes a fringe contender in early spring and Brook in the summer. But he could also consider the Thurman/Porter winner or a Garcia rematch if he cares to rebuild his stock.
I think him and Brook will take a series of soft touches to build up a future fight.
I thought this has been the plan. If they haven't started the build-up now, I don't even care.
Khan can go retire into obscurity. Amir "I got KTFO'd by Danny" Khan
He is back camp training with Hunter in SF
Not sure who he is fighting, but Brook fight will more than likley happen in the Summer
He'll need a tune up fight before that
Porter
Thurman
Brook
will he fight any top ww this year?
Hell even a Spence or Garcia rematch would be fine
Why would Khan fighting a prospect be "fine"? How's Danny Garcia going to get lumped in with Errol Spence? Come on Larry.
Tbh, Khan hasn't had bad opposition lately, he just gets hate for numerous reasons (race, religion, nationality, beating on Americans and so on). Wins over Alexander and Algieri are by no means bad.
Sadly, he has been very inactive and in 2013/2014, it wasn't entirely his fault as Floyd dangled the carrot, talked of a fight and then backed out. In 2015, it was entirely Khan's fault.
This year, he has to pick up the pace, go back to fighting 3 times a year and the quality of opposition he was fighting at 140. This year would be phenomenal if he fought one of Porter or Brook, possibly Bradley (after the Pac fight and with better relations between Haymon and HBO) and then finished it off against a decent level fighter.
