I think Kieth Thurman is the most dangerous welterweight.

    There's a reason Guerrero and Maidana ducked him

    He's not flashy in any area but he's solid as fcuk

        People need to realize that Thurman can counter on the move, he has a beautiful counter left hook and he's quick with the trigger. I'll say it again, he attacks on the move, whilst moving backwards, we hardly see that today. He knows how to defend using his feet as well, Thurman is a serious problem in that division. I hardly ever put myself out there unless I'm really sure but he's the goods and eventually he'll prove it.

            He is dangerous but now all the Matthysse nut swingers will latch on to Thurman

              Thurman vs. Broner or Garcia are 50/50 fights though

                So far he's done what he's supposed to which is nothing but a good sign.

                I thought he performed well against a solid, tough durable contender in Zaveck. Showed me some weaknesses too but all in all it was a solid performance.

                Did what he was supposed to with Quintana. Not overly impressive considering who it was but atleast he dispatched of him in fashion.

                And the Chavez fight was good too. I thought that Chavez guy looked pretty good himself. That was the first I'd seen him.

                  I really like Thurman. He's probably the best prospect with a lisp since Iron Mike, but I think he's still a little green. For one thing, he appears to have a great chin (which he totally believes in), but he still leaves plenty of holes on defense, so he needs to shore that up before he takes on other big ****ers. He's got good skills and power, but I wouldn't stick him in their with the craftiest guys yet. In two years time or less, he's going to be a beast though.

                    The guy is a problem, the real problem. I hope they give him good matchups, he deserves them.

                      Yes, he is very good overall and his body punching is devastating, would like to see more of him before I decide how he rates against the best.
