No chance. He'll get knocked down at least twice and then get KO'd.

In other news, Floyd stripped of his WBO belt after failing to pay the sanctioning fees. Not that he cares.

I'm rooting for Fury, I love the guy. Think he's brilliant for boxing.

Also, hearing a lot of talk about Thurman and Khan in November. I'd fancy Khan to take it on points if he can get in and out without taking too much heat.

Yea Khans a better boxer but I think one sweet one from Thurman and it would be lights out. That guy got power

He's definitely a big puncher but there's a lot of question marks over Thurman's chin. I think he's there to be got at. Khan hits hard enough for you to second guess yourself.

Would be a great match up that Khan and Thurman. I can't split them right now. Different stages of careers as well. Makes for an interesting one. To be fair to Khan he doesn't duck anyone and before anyone says Brook. Those two will fight at some point anyway

Khan has been ducking punchers since he got knocked out by Garcia.

AJ v Whyte. That's more like it.

Thurman beat Collazo last night but again he didn't look entirely convincing. Not sure he's all that he's cracked up to be.

Heard a few rumours Khan and Thurman is done for November. On last night's performance Khan takes Thurton on points. One Time leaves himself open for the body shots and I fully expect Khan, who is a very good body puncher to floor Thurman with one.

I really hope it happens. I don't think Mayweather will agree to fight neither Khan nor Thurman, Khan is still the fight most likely to cause an upset so I can see Floyd looking elsewhere, again. I don't think it will be Berto or Mayfield, Money is just trolling there. My money is on Porter, who made Mayweather MK2 look the fanny he is.

Back to Khan vs Thurman, it's a fight that will cement either fighter at 147. In terms of boxing, Khan wins hands down. If he can stick to a game plan, he's superb and he can't be out boxed. There's just that question mark over his chin, but now he's at 147 he seems to take punches better, he's more solid on his feet and it he sets himself better, meaning he can absorb a bit more heat from punches. A lot of the times he's been floored he's been prancing around like a fairy.

I'm not really sure Thurman is as powerful as made out. Collazo got floored three times by Khan, Thurman didn't really trouble him.

I think Froch's boxing skills were a bit underrated. Was never the prettiest to watch but he's made of absolute granite and could walk through a bulldozer to get the job done. He's a bit of a bellend, but an incredibly successful one.

One of the greats of British boxing for sure. Top 10 I reckon.

That's doing the guy a disservice, he's top 5 easily alongside guys like Lewis, Calzaghe and Naz.

Massive legend. Would take any fight in their back garden. Chin of steel and heart of iron.

Joshua vs Cornish confirmed for September 12th for the vacant commonwealth title. Cornish unbeaten but the little I have seen of him looks to be carrying a bit of glass in his chin. But he's unbeaten, big and should come to win which makes a change from usual Joshua opponents.

Busy weekend of boxing Price vs Teper tomorrow on Boxnation, then Crolla vs Perez, Quigg vs Martinez, Abraham vs Stieglitz on Sky Saturday night, Donaire on box nation Saturday afternoon, and Frampton on ITV on Saturday night.

Pricey sparked out in 2 by Teper. Poor lad, career got to be over now. Can't believe so many thought he was destined to rule the world a couple of years ago.

Price is nothing but a tall punching bag. He's probably the hardest puncher in boxing but his chin is made of diarrhea.

He never got over those two losses to Thompson. He'll be back, but not at a particularly good level.

What was the knockout like? Was it as funny as the first KO against Thompson?

Gutted for big Pricey, hes such a nice guy, but hes not cut out for elite level heavyweight boxing, his foot work and jab are laughable, and we all know about his chin. Was bad watching him being bullied around the ring by teper.

Hopefully he retires and becomes a pundit.
