    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?

          No! Maybe 1 or 2 more fights

          right now I think Bradley is just more seasoned and more clever and would kinda expose Thurman weaknesses at the moment, I also see Thurman really struggling with Accuracy against the shorter Bradley who uses a lot of movement defensively and I also think Bradley would tear Thurman apart inside...Again Zaveck I notice that Thurman really don't look to fight inside and Zaveck was able to push him around a little bit when he did get inside

          So with a few more fight against good Welterweights then he might be ready!

              Not yet, Zaveck was hitting Thurman with some wild right hands that hurt him.

              Thurman is a good power boxer but I don't think it meshes well with Bradley inside game and Bradley has a decent chin. Bradley has a very versatile right hand he'd be frustrating and tagging Thurman all night. Thurman would have go win by KO because I don't think he would be able to win a decision.

                  Bradley would box circles around him. But with Thurman's power, he would be a threat to anyone.
