    Peterson, Holt and Alexander are C/B level fighters. Beating them is no achievement.
    You could make that argument but nobody Thurman beat would show he would KO Bradley at this point. Peterson and Alexander were both undefeated when he fought them too.
    I like Thurman but I don't think he is on Bradley's level yet

      Well J, he survived Pacquaio just like everyone who has survived Pacquiao has... retreating, defensive/survival mode after the first half of the fight.

      I never questioned his chin/will, I questioned his talent level. He went thru life and death with Provodnikov, who is a limited fighter. You could argue he put himself in that position and could have boxed him if he wanted to, and that is valid; still Provo is not a great fighter.

      Peterson/Alexander/Holt are all C+/B- fighters. Again, not elite/great level.

      My point here is, when you look at his best wins that supposedly place him on the P4P list, you will see a robbery decision and a very close decision against a 40 year old Marquez. Yet some people place him as this top fighter, not just P4P but in the division, when he is as beatable as Provodnikov is.

        It's pretty well known that Thurman is avoided. You can only beat what's in front of you.

        Peterson and Alexander are C/B level fighters, they were undefeated because they hadn't fought anyone of note.

        Although Thurman hasn't got any big wins on his resume yet, you can see his talent and potential. He's a very complete fighter. Good skill, power, chin, heart etc.

        I'm not a fan of Bradley, I think he's vastly overrated.

          I guess those are decent arguments lol Hopefully we can see this fight one day

            We'll never see Thurman vs Bradley unless Bradley leaves TR.

            I'd like to see Thurman fight Maidana, Broner and D.Garcia. I think he beats all 3.

              Bradley is my dude. But I think Thurman is thee most dangerous welterweight right now and beats him clearly.

                  I don't want to pick, and don't how I should pick. Tough fight.

                    Thurman wins imo, he's like a LMW compared to some of these Welters.

                      Thurman by KO. Cause Bradley blows and he wouldn't be outboxing Thurman.
