Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Advises Amir Khan To Stay Away From 147

[Realizniguhnit]

Khan was just saying 4-5 months ago that he had no problem making 140 and now he says making 140 has been killing him. I don't even think he even knows.

On one hand I think Khan's chin will be a bit better IF he is truly coming down from 160 to make 140 like he's said recently, but I don't think the improvement will be enough to withstand some of the punchers at 147 unless his defense improves drastically which is highly unlikely

One thing about Khan is he will fight anyone (outside of Presscott and Maidana again) and I think he'd fight Thurman in a heartbeat even though he would get KTFO in about 5 sec..

Say what you want about Thurman but he would KO Khan within 3-4 rounds. Face it people " KHAN IS AN OVERRATED HYPE JOB!!!!!!

There are actually people in this tread that believe Khan can **** with Thurman?? Wow.

Keith Thurman isn't the problem Khan wants especially with his chin.

Definitely not a good match up for Khan at all. However, struggling to make weight does effect your ability to take punches. I've always said if Khan goes up to 147 he'd be able to take punches better....but Thurman's punches aren't your typical 147 punches he has legit power.

All these welterweights have to bring up Khan's name for attention... kinda pathetic...

I know Khan was stopped by Garcia and was put on his ass against Diaz. He lost to Peterson and almost got stoppeed against Maidana before that. I even have Alexander beating him in their upcoming fight, but I still think he beats Thurman at this point.

The same was said about Khan at lightweight when he was KO'd by Prescott that it might be down to him struggling to make weight but Garcia's left hook put an end to that argument. Also he fought Diaz at 143 & was almost KO'd. Simple fact is Khan is overrated

Agree 100%. Im English & I can't stand Khan mainly because he thinks he's so much better than he is. If he showed even the slightest bit of humility I might have a little respect for him but he just talks ****. He even came out after the Maidana fight & said 'I've proved I've got 1 of the best chins in boxing' WTF? Truth is Khan is overrated & blames others for his shortcomings. He isn't a smart fighter & can't stick to a gameplan. When Garcia put him on the canvas he came out & was waving him in when he clearly hadn't recovered. Does he honestly think people believe that Roach was giving him that advice. It was just plain ****** then he blames Roach changing to Hunter and a 1-sided victory against an average lightweight & he thinks he's P4P no 1. Can't stand the overrated little ****

Thurman already scared of Khan. Stop trying to run away brah, Khan is coming for you.

Khan has over achieved and has now been found out the little punch resistance he had was demolished by Garcia, it proved it in his last fight - please let Khan come for Thurman so he can be ko'd again - don't let me say it I will leave it up to Guerro
