    Bradley would have a hard time finding Thurman because he's not going to stand in front of him and Thurman's going to be countering going backwards.

    That's not even a question. The difference in opposition is ridiculous.

    What's more important (At this point) is Thurman really has done very little in the sport.

    He's never fought someone with handspeed. Bradley has.

    He's never fought someone that's overly skilled. Bradley has.

    He's never fought a proven world class slick fighter. Bradley has.

    He's never fought a world class counter puncher. Bradley has.

    He's never fought someone with proven top power. Bradley has.

    Could really go on and on with this.

    I'm not saying Thurman couldn't beat Bradley. But at this point it's hard to say so and I wouldn't pick him, considering.

    I still need to see more of Thurman before I can really judge him.
    You say all that but Tell me who has Bradley fought that has better foot movement and transitions from defense to offense better than Thurman???

Really he hasn't done anything great and don't think he could hold up against Thurman who is much bigger come fight night than all of Bradleys prvious opponents.
      Thurman isn't much bigger than Abregu if at all and he has a KO rating a couple points less than Thurman does, Bradley almost dropped him and handed him his only loss. Tim wasn't a judge in the Pac fight, fought the wrong game plan and dropped massive weight coming into the Provid fight, and Alexander quit on his own accord grabbing the wrong side of his face while crying to the ref...lol. Also, Tim schooled JMM....the SD in that fight was almost a robbery in itself. Honestly, how is he even ranked in the top 5 P4P in the ENTIRE WORLD if he "hasn't done anything great"? Andre Ward said that the toughest fight he ever had was against Bradley....that's coming from a guy regarded as the number 2 P4P in the ENTIRE WORLD.

        It was the toughest because they were probably hugging/clinching the hell out of each other and couldn't land ****, and who the hell has him ranked top 5 P4P, Bob Arum???

            Nothing great except beat two hof fighters(no matter what you think, he has victory over both) and win all his fights against high level comp..Yea Bradley has done nothing great..

              A robbery against Pac and a SD vs JMM isn't going to do much when he's in the ring vs. Thurman, all I'm saying is I'd favor Thurman over Bradley. All this bickering is pointless because the fight is never getting made unless one fighter or the other switches promoters.

                Good for you, favor who you like..I'm just favoring Bradley, the difference is..I have things to point to within Bradley career as to why I feel he will win..While you really have no leg to stand on to support your opinion..

                  I like Thurman he's a solid dude being brought along just right and creates his hype with his fists. With that said I don't think Thurman brings anything to the table at this point that bradley hasn't seen.
                  Question: how often is bradley favored to win his fights? Compared to Thurman who I don't believe has really been an underdog yet.

                      Which things do you prefer to point at:

                      1. Robbery against Pac
                      2. Split decision against JMM
                      3. Out on his feet vs Provodnikov and won a close decision.

                      Again he hasn't done anything impressive just went 12 rds. and barely survived vs Provodnikov, was not impressive in any of the other 2 wins which one should really be a loss(Pac) I don't even know how you can dispute it or bring it up as an accomplishment!
