His final play for the Floyd fight. Time has run out I'm afraid. He wont be the Sept opponent and no way will he be 50.
Have to admire his tenacity.
No way on earth Khan takes this Fight! if he does, I'll give him respect for that, but a Leopard don't change his spots.
Khan better be flawless if he fights Thurman because one punch and it's night night time.
Do not know how to see this comment from Khan
a) It is courageous because Khan would be fighting a big puncher which he has avoided since moving up in weight.
b) It is chickening out of a big domestic fight with Brooks
More talk from Khan , I will believe it when I see it.
I think Khan would fight anyone. His handlers might think otherwise but like most boxers I think he fancies his chances against anyone in his weight class. Could he beat Thurman ?, definitely. Would he beat Thurman ? Not sure. He would be seen as the underdog, because of his propensity to want to have a tear up he is not built for, but despite wanting to cash cheques his chin might have trouble funding, he could utilise his speed to make Thurman look ordinary.
He made a mistake with Algieri. I think Thurman would be the end of his hopes for Mayweather.
At this point if Thurman and Khan fought if Khan doesn't ko Thurman early there is no way his chin holds up!!! I still have questions about Thurman's boxing abilities against higher ranked boxers which he hasn't shown yet. Thurmans best win was against a brawler in Robert Guerrero!!! I'd like to see Khan vs Thurman.

That would be a great fight if it happens think I would favour Thurman but only just
Sooo he beat collazo and had trouble with him. Floyd would dismantle him. Kahn should fight him while he is still green.
