    I'm on the Thurman bandwagon. This guy is the kind of fighter I like to watch, I dont think he will stay unbeaten for too long but he reminds me of Nigel Benn and as such will be so entertaining. He needs to tighten his defence against overhand rights but its still early in his career and he is showing and improving skillset or something different in every fight. He showed good lateral movement and footwork against Soto-Karass.

    A fight with Maidana would be an absolute barnburner, but Thurman is the kind of fighter who would guarantee entertainment pretty much anyone.

        Tell Maidana to stop ducking! He can't say Thurman is unknown now!

        Actually, it might be even worse now that he knows what Thurman is capable of doing.

          Lol maidana? Broner or thurman for more money??? Now thurman has some good potential but on his last 2 fights when he got hit with a power shot he went to his bike. The guy can't box against a good boxer it works with fighters like soto karas who was there to get beat a punching bag.

          He has some pop but i seen how he reacts to good placed shots and when he faces someone with punching power like maidana and mathysse or garcia who knows what will happen.

            See now everyone is getting on Thurman.. Pretty late to be on his ****. After Broner lose and all those Hispanic power punches losing. All of y'all hopping on his sack.. Marvelous this will make it easier for him to get a fight with Mayweather

              Not at all, I've liked watching him since I first saw him a few years back. He was pretty raw and you can still see some of that, but he is just growing and improving with every outing. He's damn good to watch too. If you're a boxing fan, whats not to like?

                Why would you want Floyd to fight him next if he not one of the best? Shouldnt Floyd (if hes the so called BEST) fight the best?

                  I wholeheartedly believe Thurman will eventually lose his '0' by way of KO, but I really like his attitude and he does have some good skills. WAR ONE TIME

                    It's just his unique boxing style that makes him so like-able for me.. The way his foot movement and dancing around the ring is beautiful when he offsets his movement in to powerful shots. He'll box on his toes and when he got you hurt, he's throwing desks at you.

                    A lot of people want to call him a puncher but honestly I appreciate his boxing IQ and he has great potential to be very good, his foot movement is smart and fast and he is able to tangle his opponent feet to be out of place with his movement and then attack like Mayweather does. If he adds more defensive technique to his game, Mayweather may have a probelm
