I reckon Garcia beats Thurman.

Good, spiteful puncher but not a one punch K.O artist or anything.
I personally think he feels he is a better puncher than he perhaps is as well.
People are forgetting there are levels in boxing. Thurman may have seemed like a genuine puncher when he was fighting prospects, has beens and never beens but at this level, in 3 fights, we have seen he can't punch hard enough to be considered a puncher.
Sadly he isn't skilled enough to be a world class counter puncher either. He may be there for the taking. If the Porter rematch doesn't happen, Garcia or Brook will take him.

Originally posted by soul_survivor View PostCan we all put this to bed now? I told you all, if Thurman can't stop a middle aged, european level fighter ,he hasn't got world beating power. Porter literally walked through Thurman's punches after round 2 or 3 when he did get somewhat stunned. That was it.
That midget Broner hurt Porter worse.
Thurman ain't got world level power.
Guerrero and Porter are two of the mentally strong fighters in the game and they have great chins
Bundu isnt on that level or even Guerreros but he is tough
Keith has power, but styles make fights and he needs a little room for his power shots.
He isnt felix trinidad type puncher but he isnt featherfisted
147 is a deep division so its expected his ko ratio would drop fighting top 15 guys at one of the best weights in boxing.

Let's just say he rocked Porter more than a couple of times and that was the best I have seen Porter fight, so Thurman assuming that he was 100% fit is good to beat top WWs out there.. In a few yrs I recon Spence will develop into a top champ but for now DSG, Thurman are easily #1 and #2 and not in that order .
Brook and Bradley next place..

Chaves is a c level slugger who has lost every time he stepped up and was lucky enough to get a draw (horrendous judging) against Bradley and most to b level slugger Rios.
I'm in trouble if I'm on a forum where people think Diego is world class.
