Comments Thread For: Thurman Aims To Be Undisputed Champ at Welterweight

I like Thurman. He throws BOMBS! All he has to do is keep winning in impressive fashion (which should be doable considering his power). Eventually he'll get a fight with a decent known fighter, maybe Maidana, Ortiz, or maybe the winner of Berto/Karass. If he beats that fighter as impressively he'll be right there in the mix.

If he wants Mayweather, he should call out Guerrero. KO Guerrero then everyone will start comparing that fight to the Mayweather/Guerrero fight.

I agree his exciting and his win against Zavek was brilliant he won every round over 12 rounds which proves his stamina is not in question. If he beats Chavez he can position himself for a world title shot - I will be following his career very closley. If he wants Mayweather I think he can if he can pick aWorld Title up along the way as Mayweather has 5 more fights left with his fight deal and is slowly running out opponents providing he beats Canelo in September.

I lost most any respect for the guy when he decided to talk about how great he was and than start calling out paulie malignaggi. Give me a break.

How many times do you hear a fighter say "I have an 0 and I'm not afraid to let it go"? That takes balls to say. That is the kind of guy who will resist being protected and be willing to fight anyone. Hard not to respect that.

One time has been one of my favorite to watch I hope this kid goes far

Thurman is crap, he's just been matched well like Berto was. He's not good enough to be undisputed champ 147 or 154.

Nonsense his been moved along slowly and has learned the game, his last fight against Zavek was a step up and a perfect performance he never lost a round and Zavek is no slouch he is a honest and good solid fighter. Thurman has the skills to go far in this divison.

Like his style. But a long way to go buddy!

I'm glad that he's set his goals high, hope he gets there, whether its at 147 or 154.

It's kinda hard to be the undisputed of anything nowadays...when it's being hindered by promotional companies and sanctioning bodies bickering like little school girls.

I like him as well. Pretty well rounded fighter, he's got punching power and is also developing his boxing skills.

I'd love to see him against Kell Brook who he sort of fights like.

I have to admit that I dont see where ANY of the hype for this guy comes from. Ive seen every televised fight he has had and Im not the slightest bit impressed by him. I don't get it.
