Barring any upsets this Saturday, will Keith Thurman be the next Felix Trinidad.
Trinidad was an undefeated, kept-secret who was only 19-0 with 16 KOs when he got his first world title-shot, Thurman is 21-0 (19 KOs) and a win over Soto-Karass will put him in line for his first world title.
Thurman, compared to Adrien Broner (and DLH during Tito's time), don't get all this media hype, and just like Trinidad, Thurman, in his interviews, is not afraid to take on the very best, his size will carry him to invade the 154 lbs division, along with Shawn Porter as I don't see Broner or Danny Garcia carrying their weight up to the junior middleweight division.
Trinidad himself has had success at 154, If Thurman remains unbeaten in two years, my best guess is he's gonna unified one half of the welterweight belts, possibly against Kell Brook, whom Im gonna pick to beat Porter.
