    Let's get rel here folks.

    Alexander, target practice
    Maidana, target practice
    Bradley, Ruslan happened
    JMM, no PEDs, gets hurt against a BIG WW like Keith.
    Guerrero, he shook
    You forgot to mention Khan, if Khan can take Thurman's punches he could outbox Thurman to a wide UD.

      I'd only really pick Pacquiao over him, simply because he can return fire and damage Thurman to slow him down. I don't see Thurman not getting to Floyd and landing big at some point over 12 rounds.

          Ya see, I'm thinking the same thing, but I don't want to turn this into a Thurman hype fest. Floyd boners will accuse me of hyping him up like Lucas is getting hyped. Then it turns into a "Thurman's an overrated bum" parade for the boners.

              I agree. Thurman FTW in this one (of course by KO).

                Big power vs a weak chin, side of face, neck, whatever the hell someone wants to call it. Godzilla vs Bambi. Not a good matchup. The power-to-chin ratio is hugely in favor of the power.

                    I don't think Khan will take a punch better at 147 than he does at 140. By going up in weight he will be fighting harder punchers and increasing his chances of being KOed. Thurman might be the hardest puncher at 147 so he would KO Khan in my opinion.

                      This thread shows us two things

                      1. too many people think Thurman is "real"
                      2. Khan fans are ******
