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

[BrokenHat]

Khan-Alexander will tell us a lot. Old Khan would beat Alexander easily. Old Khan would have a field day with another boxer. Khan's never been outboxed.

See how Kotelnik outboxed Alexander, but Khan outboxed Kotelnik with ease. Thing is, is Khan the same fighter? If he's got that same handspeed, gotta got with Khan. Prime Khan was special, but you never know when and if those wars take a toll.

I see what Thurman is saying here.....why should Khan come up to the 147 lb division and automatically get a shot at Alexander and not have to fight a guy that has earned his ranking. Khan has beaten nobody at 147 to deserve a shot at a title....so that being said yes I would have to say Khan should have to fight a top contender before he gets a title shot.... and Thurman has every right to call him out because he's earned his ranking at 147..... not Khan.

Correct.

Khan getting caught by a clean right from Thurman...jesus, his head would explode.

Khan has beaten no one at 147 and Thurman has beaten no one whatsoever. Woop de doo!

It might be time for Thurman to face someone who isn't a one-dimensional, plodding slugger

Correct I agree I've said that in the past. You have to earn your chance he has fought no one at 147 and the opponent that would be ready for him and has challenged in publicly is Brook and big domestic showdown as for Thurman this kid is special and I am looking forward to watching his career develop. These twits who keep saying he has not fought anyone of quality probably don't know his opponents his beaten 2 former champions and his last opponent was the NO1 contender. If he fights Khan he will derail Golden Boys plans of a Mayweather fight, Thurman no doubt stops Khan as soon as he lands cleanly.

Thurman's last opponent Diego Chavez is anything but one dimensional.

AK must high as a kite....what is this guy on!?!?!

Come on now!! let's leave AK alone, the guy is clueless and opens his mouth up just to get some neglected attention. The guy thinks he is fighter. Why does he not fight the fighter in the pass who beat him. Ok ok, Prescott and Garcia, obviously no rematch. He was down on the canvas licking his wounds and his old man reading him a book on Dummies for boxing. Don't know much about KT but man oh man looking at his 1st year as a pro, this guy is an ANIMAL!! If there is an all mighty up above us, please let this fight happen. Amir the weight division conqueror (for this who follow him this I am being sarcastic) thinks he has the skills and tactics to beat this BEAST of a man. GAME ON! I am up for Amir to once again make a fool of himself. My guess, first round knock down and sent straight to the hospital Amir will be waking up and wishing he was still back in Bolton. I will admit, he is an entertainer... all the rubbish that comes out of his mouth and his camp.

Khan should stick to domestic fighters. He will get beat when he steps to world class again. He's done!
