    Slight edge to Lucas.
    your joking right?

      I would say Thurman is an awfully big boy with the power to match for Broner to be messing with. Broner has skills and is not terrible on defense but he is not a defensive master either, and could he keep a guy of Thurman's size honest.

      Would be a real stiff test for Broner, Imo.

        I didn't give Berto credit for the win, because he was about to get KO'd. I definitely gave Thurman credit because he won every round against Zaveck, and didn't get hurt one time. Pardon the pun.

          How so? Thurman's a smart guy, and knows when not to get into a dogfight. He'd move around the ring, and go for quick combinations on him.

          I think Lucas would eventually get to him, and ultimately hurt him.

            Lucas is a great 140lber. The minute he moves up someone will knock him off.

              That's what you think. I think the opposite. I actually think his power and durability will hold up.

              On the other hand, I've always felt Thurman could potentially be the guy to beat Matthysse, if given the chance.

              I still think Lucas has an unnatural amount of power, and durability.

                That's an exaggeration. Berto was gassed because hes a four round fighter. About to be KOd is over doing it.

                  Hes a little guy. He was small next to Zab and Zabs undersized. Put him in with Robert Guerrero and Guerrero makes him his b1tch.

                    Put him in there with Guerrero, another former 140 pounder, and Lucas makes him his *****. I wish Guerrero would pull a Berto on him. Lucas would violate him on the inside, and catch his plodding self sooner or later.

                      France has an army?
