Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: After March Tuneup - I'd Love Keith Thurman Fight!

[slimPickings]

Not interested in who Khan is fighting next if its not Brook.
I have to wonder if his heart is still in this business.
I would not be surprised if he looses his tuneup to TBA who ever that tune up will be and that should help him make up his mind about retirement.

Everybody calling Thurman out, nothing new. Don't think Khan is serious anyways, dude should just be ignored from now on. Although wouldn't be a bad tune up for Keith.

If the tuneup is to prepare for Spence...it would be a waste of time. Khan and Spence fight NOTHING alike and Khan does NOTHING well aside from having quick hands which are negated within the first 2-3 rounds anyways.

Better off fighting a guy like Matthyse who, stylistically, is very similar to Errol. Lucas is a stalking boxer-puncher which is essentially what Errol is. Errol just does it better and is bigger/stronger as well as fresher.

If Thurman wants to prepare for Spence I'd pick Matthyse for him to fight. If he squeaks by Matthyse he should simply avoid Spence - WHICH HE COULD GET AWAY WITH - if he fights Crawford instead.

Crawford dangerous in different ways than Spence and I'd suggest Thurman face Saddam Ali THEN Mikey Garcia (if he can get him at 147) before fighting Crawford. Those 2 should prepare him well for the slickness and abrupt offense that TC packs

I give Khan a pretty good chance at beating Thurman. People tend to forget Khan looks his best against fighters that's Thurman height about 5'7 and under Khan generally gonna wash you. Khan has trouble with guys that are heavy or taller 5'9 and up..

People like to focus on him getting KTFO but Khan has beat some decent comp too..problem has always been his mouth and ego

Amir thinks fights are won on the canvas

Best line of the night right here

Khan is way past that point. He is guaranteed to develop CTE if he doesn't already have it and he's likely to end up like Freddy Roach after the damage he's taken against

Prescott, Canelo, Maidana, and essentially every fighter Danny literally broke him

He'll be worse roach took less damage I'll feel sincerely bad if khan ends up shot to bits, you know the type walks along randomly punching thin air shouting broccoli! Like a mantra.

Glass jaw knows Broner is less effective at 147 but he would still put idiot to sleep .He more than likely will get ko'd out in March but if the opponent is that bad he may just scape through .......I like Keith Thurman ....lol.....what a silly little kid.

It's honestly sad. Khan was such a talented fighter at one point in his career, but gaping defensive holes and a certifiably HORRIBLE team surrounding him has left his medical future in GRAVE JEOPARDY.

The "yes" men will not wipe his ass when he can't lift a fork of hummus to his mouth

I am annoyed at the paydays Khan gets.

Why does that annoy you?

Yeah I feel the same, khan is a warrior though fights fire with fire when he's hurt can't call him a clincher at all. And his concentration lapses for a second to long then he gets knocked out. Hopefully he'll only have a few more fights before stopping.
