    Keith Thurman vs Amir Khan would be very amusing.

    It would be very amusing for the simple fact that Thurman would absolutely shatter that glass chin and would have Khan doing many dances in the ring. It would be amusing because Khan would get put in his place. One would think the Garcia loss would have put him in his place but he is still the same arrogant narcisistic fighter that just won't shut up.

    I believe Thurman could finally put him in his place once and for all and it would be very amusing.

    It also has the potential to be a great fight.

    I wouldn't count Khan out of this fight I really wouldn't.

    Thurman is equally as flawed as Khan is, in fact I still maintain that Khan is a better version and Thurman doesn't have a style that would typically cause Khan problems.
    Khan struggles against pressure fighters and fighters who throw with him not guys with amateur styling.

      Khan would definitely need to stay away from the right hand. But I feel like someone like Porter is a far worse match-up for Khan than Thurman is.

      Thurman vs Khan would be a competitive fight. I can definitely see Thurman getting schooled in the first half of the fight.

        It's a shame Khan doesn't possess a decent chin, he would box the living **** out of Thurman, but would eventually get caught with something big.

          Khan had problems with Algieri, and Against Bundu, Thurman showed he could box, but Thurmans size and Power would eventually overwhelm Khan and Khan would get knocked out in round 7

            Yh agree stylistically a much tougher fight.
            Khan will no doubt take an early lead and get caught with something eventually I don't think he is savvy enough not to but as long as he recovers well and stays relaxed I think he can cruise through.

            It definitely isn't some forgone conclusion that Thurman stops him in my mind. I don't have Thurman down as a one punch knockout artist or a great finisher despite an impressive K.O ratio

              I think his last couple of fights have deflated the image of him a little bit. If he does Collazo in a couple of rounds, the hype will be straight back. Imo there's no question Thurman is a very good puncher. probably the biggest in the division.

              Should he go out all aggressive and take it to Khan, I'd see him winning. If he tries to box, he'd get schooled.

              Now, I still have questions about Thurman's stamina and chin. But those two are Khan's main issues also. I don't feel like either are particularly good 12 round fighters in tough fights.

                Which one is it? Will Thurman dominate and put Khan in his place or will it be a great fight?

                    Khan fights guys like Algieri, Collazo and Diaz. He doesn't fight dangerous fighters like Thurman or Brook. There was a time when he was with Roach that Khan would actually fight dangerous fighters. Getting KOed by Garcia turned Khan into a big chicken who won't fight a puncher. I can understand Khan's refusal to fight Thurman or Brook because they would knock him out.
