    You thurman **** riders shouldnt take it personally. this is a guy with his first big step up and was allowing a 40 year old man to push the tempo. thurman is good but like ive said all along, he has another 3-4 fights before he can fight the "names" of the division.
    Id bet you your account, khan can't beat thurman??

      I like both fighters, but this is a silly thread. Was Khan's fight with Carlos Molina entertaining? Paul McCloskey? can't always be entertaining.

      Both guys pitched a shut-out, excellent performances. If you're desperate to take a shot at Thurman you'll have to come more intelligent than that.

        Khan sure was entertaining when Garcia had him doing the Bambi-on-Ice all over the ring...

          McCloskey was literally spoiling and Khan battered Molina and it was far from boring. But you miss my point again, Thurman can't box, he tried and failed. He pot shotted and simply won on activity. There was nothing eye catching in his performance apart from the flash KD. Like I said, don't take it personally mate, it makes you seem weird.

          I guarantee you that fight doesn't happen, especially if Maidana is next, cos he will beat Thurman.

            120-107 on all three cards. He also had a solid amateur career. If you believe Thurman can't box then you clearly don't know what you're looking at (or more likely, you're looking to nitpick to suit your agenda).

                aparrently he doesn't do enough to sell himself to the audience, ofcourse there will be huge risk but he want a fame right?? even mayweather was entertaining enough before 2006.

                the point is Thurmann had a chance to sell his image the other night but he hesitated and blew it.

                  everyone's going hard on their opinions. 0-100 real quick.
                  khan out boxing is better than keith but keith power attack is better than khans. if keith decide to strictly outbox khan only, khan will win. but obviously hes not going to do that. the point is merely that in outbox style khan is better than keith. and so yes, thurman can learn a little something. and likewise yes, khan could learn a little of how to fight vs a strong attacker from keith. although the only thing khan needs to be great is a chin and he cant learn that.
