Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Wants Amir Khan or Kell Brook Next

[brettWall]

Fights are both equally risky. But Brook will pick Khan. That's the more lucrative fight. He better be hugely compensated before losing.

Thurman will end up with another tune up fight if he rejects Alexander.

[M Bison]

Thurman can forget about any possibility of a Khan fight .... Khan will avoid Thurman like ebola, while talking like he really wants the fight. As a matter of fact, all Khan does is mention rated fighters, but never really fights any of them.

Speaking of Khan (Quoted from ESB) .. Now he's running off his mouth that Pacman is scared of him. What a freakin wanna-be tool!!

Talk, talk, talk, talk .. No Fight ... That's Khan's M.O.

What a ****** you are... no idea why you're in the green...

Khan Vs Brook is the fight that needs to happen, Thurman is in same stance Brook was in few fights ago he is a tremendous talent but he offers nothing because he simply hasn't fought any big names yet and he hasn't faced any world class opponents yet.

You would have thought someone who has spent time on a boxing forum for 9 bloody years that you would have learnt something by now!

the best out there keith thurman

I know Thurman has the speed to take care of Brook in everything and everyway of the fight "he is a smart fight "that know how to win and could take a punch,

and if he stay faithful to his game and train everyday like a fighter should ,nothing out there ,should take his games plan ,boxing is something that is you job to go and fight in the ring .stop trying to take someone else style, stay with what you know that work good for you !as for porter started his fight good till he change the fight plan "sorry brother that was the wrong fight plan you pick to fight , he saw your game and whip you butt "and still you could not see what you were doing wrong "that fight was meant to be fought the way you fought Gomez ,pick and fight side to side in and out 123 and upper cut & hook " I know boxing is my life ! I have all your fight and all Thurman fight " Thurman need to fight kel brook the same way he fought Chavez and every other fighter he been fighting don't change your style be smart "and know when to go in and not too. you are strong that power will always keep you on top by being smart" take you time ,that who you are one time the name said it all! my brother porter you are a man of GOD "always give him the thank "and never forget you are a man of GOD " fight with honor .and always talk good of the person you fought with " hug him and thank him "that open every door for you! ok my brothers GOD bless"

Arum and Oscar should have already sat down and matched all their fighters agin one another,

Julio Diaz backed him up twice.

You sure you watched the same fight as everyone else?

[nycsmooth]

Neitger bout happens/Keith has backed himself in a corner & mayb he fights b4 years end, not w/ any 1 live...the 1 I want is Thurman vs Alvarez, regardless of the sizr difference

Thurmans a disaster waiting to happen, everyone is waiting for the likes of Matthysse to move up or Maidana to fight him, they know his chin is nothing spectacular and when it gets ****** you will see a side of Thurman which you may have all already missed a few times.

Some people know it and see it when he panics so badly after being clocked.

I think it's going to take the likes of Robert Guerrero to show you his grit and someone like Abregu to show you his chin, neither of which I think he will be able to manage.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

You know Thurmans chin isnt bullet proof. Chaves rocked him and and Julio Diaz backed him up twice. I think when Thurman steps up he's gonna get chin checked. Hopefully he overcomes it. Thurman Khan is 50/50. Id favor Kel brook over Thurman right now.

...What fight were YOU watching? Thurman dropped Diaz and rocked him with an uppercut. Diaz couldn't do anything to Thurman.

Thurman should pursue a fight with Porter still. If not him Robert Guerrero or Devon

He doesn't have to only pursue Porter. Besides, why fight Porter now after he lost? Going after the winner (an undefeated champ at that) is a better choice.

Thurman has nothing going for him....Hearn knows that (so no Brook fight) & Khan knows he has great opportunity available (so no Khan fight)

Thurman needs to fight a decent opponent who has nothing going for them (Guerrero, Alexander, Porter?)

simple...

That makes no sense. Thurman shouldn't have to fight an opponent who "has nothing going for them" if Khan and Brook don't. Fighting against Brook or Khan makes more sense and a good way to build up his name.

There's nothing wrong with Thurman's chin. This is boxing. People get rocked or dropped all the time. He's only been down once and has never been knocked out.

Thurman doesn't "panic" either. In fact, he never loses control of himself when he gets hit. In the Soto Karass fight, he remained focused and recovered fast. It's almost like he was never even rocked at all.

If people want Maidana to fight him, then maybe they should tell him to stop ducking Thurman.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Maidana had the opportunity to fight Thurman but he pulled out of the fight. There's a reason for that. Matthysse is a small JWW.

When exactly does he panic after being hit? He got caught with a big right hand by Karass, a punch he didn't see coming and he recovered like literally within 2-3 seconds and put his hands down to invite more pressure, hardly 'panicking' is it? That's the only time I've seen Thurman visibly hurt. Can you give me any other examples please?

Guerrero has come up with every excuse in the book to not fight Thurman. Do you not follow boxing? Thurman would starch Guerrero. And wtf, did you just imply Abregu has a good chin? The guy has been down multiple times against unknown fighters and got rocked a couple times by feather-fisted Tim Bradley. Thurman would starch him as well.

Seriously, do you just say random things and hope you're right?

[Jsmooth9876]

So many possibilities, Tim Bradley is being left out of all of them. Bet he regrets signing that Top Rank extension now.

Yeah but Timmy is probably 180 lbs and still spending that $6 million he made against PAC

[dinero fan]

Thurman would murder Kahn & brook. Kahn & brook will avoid Thurman.
