I can see Thurman fighting guys like Maidana, Angulo, and Kirkland as step up fights. If he gets past those than he should be put up for a title fight. However, I really don't understand what people see in him since he is a very sloppy fighter. I think many people in boxing like when a fighter has power and are blinded by it, in a way. Power punchers are good, but it takes more than that to make it to the top. I don't see him getting too far, with power alone. But, let's see what happens.
Name me one fighter that has 6 national amature titles and a silver medal at the olympic trials only being a puncher. I am sure as his career unfold we will see that Thurman does what he needs to. Punch, box or a combination of both.
FerFAL,so your hate for Thurman stems from him disrespecting Paulie Malignaggi? Do you have any idea who your defending? Paulie is and has always been the most trash talking, disrespectful loud mouth the sport of boxing has ever seen. Paulie? haha...lol try again..haha
It's a pointless fight,no need to defend anything..Thurman does not want it,Bradley does not want it..TR and GBP does not want it..It just does not make any sense..Oh and you insinuated Bradley was ducking or avoiding Thurman,when in fact I don't believe either fighter is thinking(at all)about the other...So it's pointless to say any of the things you've said..
Thurman called out Bradley in July after the Orlando Lora fight on HBO, 8 months later he has positioned himself into the mandatory #1 contender spot...neither fighter thinking at all about each other?..Really?
It totally amazes me that we the fans allow ourselves to sucked in to giving a crap about two sixth grader circus acts like Paulie and Broner. Whether Broner is over hyped or not , I could care less. They couldnt even hurt each other.lol. Classless circus acts thats what we have here. I really hope their classless antics have not set the stage for how to make money in the sport of boxing, if so I will be finding another sport to follow.
FUK YOU you damn racist PRICK!!!
From one Dick to another. Racist? wrong guy. Did you ever think that maybe I was referring to the irony in the reality of an Argentinian coward boxer when historically and presently they are known as proud, strong warriors. I know for fact Thurman is a true WW not JMW. Thurman is 5' 9" not 5' 11". The funny thing is Thurman kicked Maidana's ass just like I predicted and never threw a punch. haha, lol
So let me see if I got this right. Maidana backs out of Thurman fight in fear of a beat down,takes fight with Karass as tune up, his tune up was so tough that he thinks that proves he is a force at 147. All that proves to me is he deserves to back it up and go take care of unfinished business with Thurman.

Al Haymon is Thruman's manager, in that case Maidana already lost on 2 of the 3 judges score cards.
good thing Maidana pulled out before he got screwed over by the judges.
Really? That Argentinian coward was going to get put to sleep. What a f***n coward.
Maybe Paulie can now give Keith Thurman a try now the he himself has been reduced to "co-mainevent money" by a lightweight. Come on Paulie show us how average Thurman is. haha
the ghost isn't a p4p guy but how can you blame him for wanting a payday?
oh and to the writer of this worthless article
robert the ghost gurrero>>>your life
I agree. Its a sad time for boxing when every other writer out there ridicules and trashes every fighter that desires to fight the so called best and make the most money in their careers possible. How can you trash a guy for treating the business he is in like it is a business he is in. If these idiot sports writers had their way the same 10 guys would fight each other until they die.
