Such an intriguing matchup. You would think Thurman would win due to the fact that he is a more complete fighter who also happens to pack a heavy punch. However, we have seen Thurman get connected clean and rocked so that leaves the door open for Maidana.
However, with that said, Thurman has a bigger arsenal and therefore more ways to find a way to obtain the victory. Thurman is an all around beast.
Madiana dont want those problems
Thurmann knocks Maidana the **** out
Maidana Keep duckin
You notice how no one brings out maidana's duck on thurman because he wanted a tune up yet they all have problem with Khan not fiting alexander even though hes doing it to maximize his chance for a Mayweather fite not so he can fite a tune up.
Thurmans problem is that he is good, and looking to make a name in a division with a lot of established guys, and guys with names who don't want to chance it against a guy still relatively unknown. He's a fight or two away from snaggin some big names though.
He is very scary indeed because him , GGG and Kovalev are guys with not just big punches but the ring intelligence to back it up so they use their skill to disguise that power and the KO comes when it comes. Not just rush in there.

Maidana ducked him but it wasn't cause of a Mayweather fight. Last thing anyone expected at that time was Maidana being a possible opponent for Mayweather in the future.

never said that was the case but khan ducking alexander to get a fite with arguably p4p#1 cant be worse than maidana avoiding thurman to get tuneups? you see what i mean now.
Maidana already "quacked" out of a Thurman fite but its only Khan avoiding Alexander to get a Mayweather fite that counts

maidana didn't duck thurman...that's a lie...golden boy wanna make the fight when maidana had only a few days in camp with robert garcia and thurman was a nobody at the moment....in fact still is a noboby ....it's a good prospect but his better wins are chaves (another prospect) and soto karass...
Excuses.

This would be a great fight and would decisively tell us how good Thurman is..
I like Thurman.. I think he is on the way up, while Maidana has plateaued off, especially if they meet later this year or early next.. Thurman will be peaking
