Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Can Dismantle Khan Just Like Garcia Did

[ThatDude44]

Khan was fighting a world class opponent. Thurman was fighting a 40 year old European level fighter. What he had to do was look spectacular and he choked.

Please, Alexander is no threat and not a puncher. Khan chose 2 safe welterweights . I'd rather see him vs Thurman. A real threat.

Thurman didn't look a threat against a 40 year old Euro level fighter and that was the point. If he'd done what he promised to do then more people would be calling for him to get a big fight. His stock went down instead of up.

Like I said before if Khan wins out against either Thurman or Brook then I got no problem supporting a Mayweather fight. But honestly though, who has Khan fought that he deserves to fight Mayweather? I mean it is a different story if he is a champion challenging Floyd but come on he doesn't have a belt and he is fighting faded fighters.

Khan needs to be a champion to challenge Mayweather. He should have fought Porter for the belt. If he fights and wins against Brook then he is positioning himself at a good spot for me, an American audience, to support his case that he should be next for Mayweather.

With Thurman, if Khan gets by Thurman then Khan is a legitimate mandatory against Mayweather. If Thurman wins against Khan same scenario he makes for a good mandatory for Mayweather to fight.

Thurman cracks Khans chin into retirement!

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

The problem is that pedestrian performance came on the biggest stage he's ever performed on and that's what people remember especially casual fans. Thurman has given people every reason to ignore him now.

The "biggest stage he's ever performed"? He just headlined an event earlier last year and stopped Julio Diaz (the same one that gave Amir Khan a tough fight) after three rounds. If we're talking name recognition, Bundu is a step back but that doesn't change the fact he's a solid opponent. Had people did know about him, they wouldn't be surprised that that fight went the distance but one fact still remains; Thurman won, clearly and that should be the most important thing.

This talk about "ooh, he didn't knock out this 40 year old fighter", well, tell me, who has? Exactly!

I like Thurman as a fighter and personality but he got booed out the building the night after he was talking about how he was all about "knockouts for life!" and how he was going to destroy Mayweather. Not a good look.

That doesn't mean you can knock everybody out and boxing fans should know that by. Even a prime Tyson didn't knock everybody out.

Thurman has proven his limitations on the way up vs just average competition for the most part. And I don't care what anyone says, it looks to me like Khan's chin is better in this new division. Khan talks 4 times more than he should, but still, he is considerably improved. He'd give Thurman all he could handle, and that would include probably his first loss.

I think Khan would be a he!!uva lot more worthy of Floydie than Thurman would... especially over the next year. Khan isn't quite a complete boxer, but Thurman is even less. Floydie would give him a bad case of Distort-A-Mug... whereas Khan would give Floydie fits. Floydie would likely win, but not easily.

Look forward to hearing Amirs response to being called out by a top heavy hitting contender, he'll be straining at the leash to get at this Thurman, you watch! No body calls out King Khan like that, watch it Thurman it was lucky punch that Garcia hit him with....Amir said so, or was it a few lucky one's ? What a clown you are Khan!

[Basco]

Just like Garcia did?


You mean by a lucky punch??

Thats your only chance, Khan will beat you up from pillar to post and give u ur first defeat.

Infact any top 10 WW can give u a solid arse beating..

Just STFU and step up, thus bum got to be the most overhyped fighter EVER.!!!

Here we go with the "Lucky Punch" theme! Last time I checked, this is boxing and every punch is thrown with the intention of hurting yout opponent. Some miss, some land with devastating consequences for those in the reciving end! I will be willing to bet you are a butt hurt Kahn fan! LMAO!

Don't know how you mean that Thurman has shown less. Against "average competition", Thurman has shown improvement with each fight. Khan has barely done anything in the welterweight division.

I also don't see how his chin is better in this division either. Devon is not exactly known for his power so we got nothing to go by yet.
