    Is Keith Thurman ready for Bradley?

    Just want to here some opinions since he is the number one contender now. I think Thurman showed alot of flaws yesterday the would be exploited by Bradley. He throws telegraphed haymakers and seemed to overextend sometimes. He is very hittable as well. I think if he cant catch Bradley and K.O him then he loses a wide decision or gets stopped late.

    Thurman was going wild because Zaveck was in shelled up so much, and often giving little back. I was thoroughly impressed with Keith, but at this point Bradley would too much for him.

    Keith wouldn't land much and get frustrated by Bradley.

      i say he is ready. He can mix it up with others in the top of the chain. And hes got good power in his pop! He would be a dangerous fight for anyone.

      id like to see him with Berto. Berto is a solid tough ass dude.

        and if he beats berto i think that would set up nicely for a floyd mayweather fight.

          not at this stage in Bertos career. But beating Berto can show he can mix it up with the big WWs. From there he can move on to Ortiz or Guererro. Two that beat Berto before. Given they both have some win streaks.

            Absolutely, I'd like to see that fight after the Ruslan fight. Thurman is a strong, sharp puncher and I'd definitely look forward to Tim showing Thurman what it means to be in against top competition.

              Ready or not,Bradley would dominate Thurman(no disrespect to him)and get no credit for doing so...

                He's as ready as he's going to be. Bradley is a man though. A tough guy who can get in your grill and outbox you. He'd beat Thurman easily.

                  The way he beat Zaveck with a score of 120 to 108 on all three cards makes me think he is ready for anybody at 147. I thought Zaveck was even with Berto before he got cut and Zaveck was coming on strong when that fight was stopped. I think he beats Bradley. If Bradley slugs with him then he wins by KO. If Bradley fights him the way he fought Pacquiao then he beats Bradley on points. Bradley has become a shot picker anyway and won't fight him. I think Golden Boy promotes Thurman. If that's true that is another reason Bradley-Thurman won't happen.

                    bradley is p4p, too big a step up from jan zaveck. i dont care how good you look, you cant go from zaveck to bradley.

                    he should fight someone like bailey, maidana, mike jones, jesse vargas or abregu next.

                    then someone like berto, alexander, brook, ortiz, guerrero or malignaggi.

                    after that he can look at a bradley, at this point whats the point of that fight? why would bradley fight someone at thurmans level, whats in it for him? does anyone seriously think thurman beats bradley at this stage of his career?
