Comments Thread For: Thurman: Pretty Soon, I'll Be on Mayweather's Radar

[J The UnBiased]

Guys like Pacquiao, Martinez, Bradley deserve fights with Floyd. But I guess Thurman is added to the list of all time greats that Floyd is scared of. Guy's like Lucas Matthyse, Maidana, Canelo, GGG, right? lmao, because he would lose to all of them lol. Floyd's a C level fighter lol.

But on topic, yeah you'll be on Floyd's radar alright....................................but not as an opponent.

I know right, Floyd gets knocked out by Thurman. Beating guys like Chaves proves that.

Thurman is legit. Uses good angles, has great reflexes, very good instincts, showed an excellent chin and body against Chaves, has excellent timing, good stamina, excellent balnce, good footwork for his style, always in good position, has elite power, showed a good ability to adjust, better defense than many give him credit for, is huge for 147, excellent jab.

I would pick Thurman to beat many guys at 147, including Broner. Alexander presents problems for everybody and is even-money or better against anyone not named Floyd Mayweather Jr, Juan Manuel Marquez, or Timothy Bradley at this point. That's a great fight IMO. I personally think both guys should take at least one more fight before fighting one another. Let's not forget: Alexander has fought one tough guy after another for years now in pursuit of big money. As of today, if he beat Thurman the pundits would say that he beat a prospect who wasn't ready.

Who said that? All Thurman said was that he plans on making a splash in the division so that Floyd gives him consideration in the future. What is wrong with that?

[bojangles1987]

Thurman doesn't have anywhere near enough fights to be on Floyds radar and the top welterweights aren't going to be in a rush to fight him so I don't think he will get the chance to clean out the division. Floyd makes easy work of him as of right now regardless...

Please, one good win and Mayweather will fight him. Whether Thurman gets a fight providing a good enough win is a different question.

[MDPopescu]

In b4 thurman is to big of risk for Floyd.

True judgement.
Unfortunately Floyd makes all calls.

[IronDanHamza]

If Thurman keeps winning and get's a big(s) win then he will get the Mayweather fight most likely.

Especially if Bradley doesn't get out of Top Rank.

I could see him being a Mayweather opponent after the whole Matthysse-Garcia, Khan-Alexander winners are cleaned up. Assuming Floyd beats Canelo then beats the winner of those 2.

Thurman vs. Maidana would be a great fight! Thurman is NOT skilled enough for Floyd. People PLEASE stop talking about Floyd ducking folks. He's fighting CANELO!

[nycsmooth]

no number of fights are neede 2 make Thurman a viable challenger but there a re many he go w/b4 FM...Thurman would beat/ko most, including Maidana...I'd like 2c him w/Broner...the amount of shots he got hit in the body vs Malignaggi will wet Thurmans appetite...

[FerFAL]

I didnt care much for Thurman before the Chaves. I cared even less for him after it. Now he's just going AB kind of ******. He beats a somewhat decent B fighter with a lacklustre performance and now he's an all time greatest and everyone's ducking him?
Get the *** out of here Thurman!
