    Are Keith Thurman's Last 3 Opponents Really Better Than Amir Khan's last 3?

    I like Thurman and I believe his power is real but why do so many people believe he is more deserving of a Mayweather shot over Amir Khan? Boxing is based off "what have you done for me lately?" And if you take into account their last 3 opponents:
    Thurman: Guerrero, Bundu, Julio Diaz
    Khan: Collazo, Alexander, Algieri

    Guerrero looked awful against Kamegai before fighting Thurman and recently nearly got knocked out by some guy who was stopped by Josesito Lopez. Bundu is a good fighter but unproven beyond European level. Julio Diaz already lost to Khan.

    Whereas, Collazo was fair enough no longer in his prime but a LOT of people picked him KO Khan after he was supposedly rejuvenated beating Ortiz. Khan dominated him and dropped him 3 times. Alexander was coming off a win but didn't look great but he has been in there with a lot of big names, no one expected Khan to 12-0 him (was supposed to be potentially tricky). Finally Algieri only lost to the second best fighter of this era and beat Provodnikov and also Emmanuel Taylor better than Broner did.

    People keep saying Khan hasn't fought nobody recently but Thurman hasn't faced much better opposition. So now being completely impartial, who deserves the Mayweather shot more?

    Khans are clearly better.

    However why not post Brooks last 3 opponents LOL

    At least Khan and Thurman are consistently stepping in the ring with decent boxers

      Brook would have Khan on his list if he wasn't running scared.

        You'd think Khan was the only boxer left on the planet

        Are there not any other worthy challengers for Diva Brook?

        30 plus fights and one close clinch fest win over a overrated midget who was dropped by Broner and lost to Diaz

          Why do Khanturds always play "Resume Wars" and other such **** measuring competitions instead of wanting the two fighters to actually settle who is better....you know....in the ring?

          Oh Alexander is better than Bundu! Khan wins! Maidana 5 years ago is better than Frankie Gavin! Khan wins!

          What a mess of a fanbase.

                Carl Froch is at the end of his career where he has faced everyone and if he wants to retire then he can with a terrific resume.

                I'm not saying GGG needs to "prove himself" to fight Froch. GGG's resume is terrible but I think Froch should fight him if he fights again. I want to see the fight.

                Is Amir Khan at the end of his career? Is he contemplating retirement? No....that would be wishful thinking. Yet Khanturds keep bringing up Brook's resume as some impediment to the fight whilst he fights Algieri's of this world

                You literally don't want to see Khan-Brook because and I quote "Kell might ruin Amir's chances at Floyd"

                  Err...because boxing is what have you done for me lately. Duh, if Khan beats Broner now is it impressive? No because Broner is coming off a horsepoo performance and loss.
