Comments Thread For: Thurman Breaks Down Why Khan is Third For Mayweather

[hugh grant]

khan has waited long enough, he stepped aside to let Floyd fight Maidana afterall.

Khan should be next, then Pac. If Floyid chooses to retire, then blame him, for Brook and Thurman not getting their shot.

[////]

To say Brook and Thurman deserve the fight more than Khan does is to basically say "Nobody cares who you've fought, nobody cares who you've beaten, all that matters is being undefeated"

Thurman is just another wildman Floyd would box circles around

I do not like Khan as a person but there's clearly some bias going on here, he has a better resume than Maidana + beat Maidana but Maidana fights Floyd twice and Khan needs to "wait his turn" behind 2 flash in the pan hype jobs?

[////]

thurman has to realize that khan brings something to the table, i.e money and a brand

and brook brings a title


what does thurman bring? no title and his profile isnt as big as Khans because he doesnt have the resume yet.

these here are the facts of life

He also brings handspeed equal to Floyd's to the table

Thurman brings another looping hook wildman who will just win 1 round then get effortlessly timed and jabbed for the remaining 11

Dude has no heart, no chin, I don't rate him at all. Also when I think of fights I want to see Lara is behind Mayweather in terms of excitement, I know that has zero to do with the possibility of him defeating him but I just don't see Lara keeping pace when the going gets tough, he'd let the fight slip away upon realising he was in for 12 hard rounds, besides the point anyway Floyd would make him miss all night. Their is too slick and slick, Floyd can't be outboxed in my opinion.

This ****ing place. I swear. Some of you are a complete joke.

I agree with some of your points, but he has also been knocked out multiple times and doesn't really have great momentum.

Maidana had great momentum after just putting a beating on the supposed "next big thing".

If Khan was coming off a decent win over a Porter or a Brook or Bradley or Marquez or another top 5 contender, he would have to be the hardcore favorite. Even if he fought Broner.

Algieri fight was a real momentum killer.

Haha. Thurman is not that big of a name. And Brook.... who has ever heard of him in America?

Khan is more accomplished than both of them. He's got Olympic pedigree. World champion in two weight classes. The deepest resume at 147 after Mayweather and Pacquiao.

Thurman seems like a likeable kid. But, he's starting to get a little annoying.

And in those two years he's fought Collazo, Alexander, and Algeri. FOH

Here, fixed for you.

The guy fights like a wimp and moans when the decision goes against him, if he wore his heart on his sleeve like Canelo he'd have won that fight, yet instead he fought like a little girl as he didnt want to end the fight on the seat of his pants ala Angulo.

The fact Ward has a bigger fan base than Lara is another reason I don't wanna see it.

You happy now ?
