    I like Thurman. He has some legit power. I don't know how good he'll become, but he's exciting.

    I don't understand why up and comers always get hated on. He's a hype job! He's a bum! People say. But shouldn't we support fresh new faces as our stars get old and near retirement?

      Why pretend like Mayweather and Martinez are in the same situation? The only similarity is that they are on the P4P list. If we're criticizing them from that perspective, then both Murray and Malignaggi aren't acceptable opposition. The only reason I'm giving Sergio a pass is because he's coming off an injury. Mayweather is coming off a lay-off, but is that even note-worthy?

          I think Murray presents more of a threat to Martinez than Malignaggi does to Mayweather. Paulie has about as much chance of beating Mayweather as Arce had of beating Donaire, absolutely none. Mayweather could be suffering from ring rust and still white-wash Paulie. Therefore, how can I hold both match-ups to the same standard? I already said that if we were to hold both fighters to their P4P rankings, then both Murray/Malignaggi wouldn't be acceptable.

            Because of your first sentence. Your trying to sell me that Martin Murray is a threat. Bill Murray is a bigger threat than Martin.

            Stop it.

              I think he has a lot of power but...

              He is very raw. I think he has a lot to work on before we can consider him as a prospect.

                  Thurman would blast the hell out out Maidana, no one wants to fight this guy, he is like a mini version of George Foreman. After he blasted Quintana..no one wants any part of this guy from 147-154..
