    Keith Thurman vs. Carlos Molina

    Molina is certainly one of the best Junior Middleweights out there today and probably deserves a title shot against Bundrage, but I think this would be be a better matchup, a fight to solidify Molina's status as the #3 in the division behind Canelo and Trout, proving he's deserving of a fight with those guys, and also a good test for Thurman to see if he's ready for the big time. Let Molina get past Bundrage (shouldn't be that difficult in all honesty) and have Thurman get past Zaveck at 147 and then put it together. Who would win?

        I will concede Canelo is almost a de facto champ since he's come up with soft touch after soft touch, but the fact is he hasn't been remotely challenged by ANYONE, and he has the green belt. I say he still has a tenuous grasp on the #1 spot just based on the sheer domination displayed in his victories.

          Well yeah, that happens when you fight soft touch after soft touch.

            Would favor Carlos Molina in a pretty good fight. Thurman is really a WW. So this shouldn't happen.

              molina has a chance at beating everyone at jmw but no1 will fight him and its kinda hard to blame them. while i appreciate his style, its a severe turn off to most even more so than guys like ward and hopkins and that says something

                Molina would dominate Canelo Mayweather and anybody else at 154

                  Good fight...

                  I'd love 2 see this fight but I think I'd like to see Molina get a title shot next possibly a Bundrage fight & if he wins & Thurman got another decent win @ 154 it'd be a Lil more interesting. Good fight tho.

                    Molina beats him

                    but Thurman is a man to respect with that power n he will prolly be more dangerous with more experience

                    but we still need to see Thurman vs somebody decent
