Timothy Bradley Vs. Keith Thurman
Collapse

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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