Khan has a decent chin, you only have to see the bombs Maidana gave him to see that.
He gets KO'd/KD'd when he doesn't see the punches coming because of his sloppy defence. These flash knockdowns have been Khan's undoing, Hunter has worked on his defence and we saw in the last fight improvements.

The Human Windmill gets exposed by anyone with skill. All it takes is a decent counter puncher and the Wilder hype ends. But it will be fun while it lasts.

Plus those top rank guys are starved of other top level competition and they have all fought each other. I mean whats next for pacquiao or bradley. Paquiao v Marques 5,6 , Bradley V Maquez 2 .
I think the other guy kahn might want is Guerrero, after all he said the only shame about the Kahn - Garcia fight is that Garcia got to kahn first.
I really like Thurman, he looks dangerous, more so than Porter..”
I read after the Marquez fight on saturday Arum stated he wanted to talk to GBP about possible opponents. That as far as i'm aware is the first time there has been an open public invitation for co-operation by Arum.
The Top Rank welterweight merry go round has to end anyway, the public isn't going to put with the same guys fighting each other 3-4-5 times, so now would be a good time to end it.
I think Khan should realistically be looking at Guerrero (he has already sounded him as a possible opponent), Berto and Alexander. Porter and Thurman provide high risk and low reward (financially), i'd be amazed if Khan wanted either of them. A fight vs Bradley or Marquez would also be good for Khan.
There are so many great fights to be made between the 2 promoters at 147. Pretty much every matchup is a great fight.
