I think Kieth Thurman is the most dangerous welterweight.

    Pacquiao's really only had 1 good fight since his run of Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, and that was Bradley. Marquez 4 was only a big fight because of the debacle in Marquez 3.

    Thurman looks solid. I'll wait hold up though until he fights someone like Guerrero, Maidana, Alexander/Khan, Ortiz, or someone else at 147.
    Problem with that is those 2 already ducked him.

      Arum/Pacquiao choosing Mosley over Berto is the decision that ****ed everything up for him IMO. Ortiz got Berto, Mayweather got Ortiz, Pac had nothing at welterweight and ended up fighting Marquez, controversial decision, then of course everything that happened last year.

      If he beats Berto and keeps the pressure on Mayweather, that fight probably happens somehow, someway that year. Instead he gave Mayweather the Ortiz-Berto winner and was left with nothing himself.

        I wasn't saying he needs to get on the good foot and step up....I was saying until I see him against someone like that, I don't know how good he is.

          I like Thurman, pretty exciting fighter with a respectable boxing IQ. I think to make a statement, he'll need to bomb out a tough fighter like Soto-Karass.

            I'm a big fan of what he has done so far but how you going to blow off every WW out there like that. I think he and Bradley battle it out in great fashion. No way he beats Mayweather and I'll be respectful and say the same for Pacquiao. He's not yet ready for those mega fights but he's well on his way. I'd like to see him get some vindication against Andrade.

              And people called me crazy for saying Thurman was overrated by many.

                Really??? Hell naw way too soon. He hasnt done shyt yet. He gives Floyd a run for his money? He gets shut out vs Mayweather.

                And if Pac isnt shot or his chin isnt cracked hed **** Thurman with relative ease and probably knock him out.

                Slow down fellas. The fucc is going on in here. You dudes are overrating him big time.
