    Khan or Thurman (Who Deserves Sept date more?)

    As the title says really. I don't think Brook's gonna get it now Floyd has let the WBO go, but will keep the poll with these 2.

    Prior to last night I'd have said Thurman, and whilst I'm not sure if that's changed, I have decided that the Khan fight would be a more interesting stylistically match up.

      I say Khan at this point. By default, because doesn't seem plausible that Thurman would be healed by Sept12. Khan looked like crap as well, but if Brook is off the table no one else makes sense. Berto child please, maybe Bradley, but would be hard to copromote

        If it's Thurman would be the first time in a long time we see Floyd having to stalk a runner. Khan would be by far more exciting.

          I'd prefer Khan. That way, he'll go away for a vacation like all recent Floyd opponents do after they lose. I want Thurman/Porter.

            Thurman just fought last night. He's not going to fight again in 8 weeks.

              thurmans body of work just isnt that impressive yet compared to amir and stylistically he gets taken to school. at least amir will win a round or two before getting knocked out

                I think Thurman deserves the fight more. He hold a title belt at welterweight. He has never lost a fight and he has fought at 147 his whole career. Thurman has KOed Chavez and Soto K., two welterweights ranked at or near the top 10 when he fought them. He also beat 10th world ranked Guerrero. Khan has only had 2 welterweight fights and only his win over 10th world ranked Alexander was an important win. Khan has 3 loses, and he has been knocked out twice. Khan will probably get the fight because of his popularity. He brings in more money than Thurman.

                  Khan would do better imo..they both would lose, so unless Floyd is gonna go to 160 to grab another title, I'm not real interested..

                    If we're looking at complete resumes, Khan's is so far superior to Thurman it's laughable. If we're looking at welterweight only...it's still superior.
