Timothy Bradley Vs. Keith Thurman

[Beercules]

Tough fight to predict, I'm done doubting Bradley because he is as tough as they come, but I also agree with the other posters that Bradley isn't all that great. A gift over Pacquiao and life and death with Ruslan then beating a 40 year old Juan and earning split decisions doesn't really solidify that Bradley is one of the best welters.


Thurman hits like a mule, and he is pretty technically sound


I think I'll go with Bradley

I think Bradley hasn't gotten his due but I don't see him walking away upright from a fight with Thurman. Bradley has the superior boxing skills but he has proven in his fights he can be hit and he can be hurt, Thurman's a beast, I don't see him recovering if he gets rocked.

Bradley proved he had a lot of heart against Provodnikov, but he also proved if you hit him right he can be iced.

The only thing he proved was that he could bloat up 40 pounds above his fighting weight, lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks, come into a fight in the worst shape he has in his meaningful professional career, take MASSIVE shots from a very good power puncher, not get knocked out, and still win the fight.

Bradley would take Thurman to school for real imo.

It's so hard for me to predict fights when it comes to Bradley. His style is so awkward and you never know how any given opponent is going to respond to it. That being said, I'd give the edge towards Bradley. His experience and hand speed might be a bit much for Thurman. Though, at this point, I would lean 55-45 for Bradley and would expect an extremely competitive and entertaining

Thurman and he beats Bradley easy. Bradly doesn't have anything to keep Thurman off of him and Thurman can actually box. He'll soften Timothy up early then finish him of by Round 10. Sucks Tim is with TR, we could see him face off with much better opposition.

Keith Thurman would ice him. Bradley is truly not as good as some have made him out to be. Somehow this misconception that Bradley is a top fighter began with him getting the robbery decision against Pacquiao. Then he went thru life and death against a C+ fighter in Provo (who I'm a big fan of).

And now somehow he beats a 40 year old Marquez, who was getting beat up senseless against Pacquiao up until that freak punch, in what was considered a close fight and he is one of the top P4P fighters. Let's get real and cut the BS with Bradley.

And we know Thurman is good because he beat a untested prospect an ancient Carlos Quintana?

Huge step up in class for thurman hasn't faced an elite fighter yet..... could in time beat bradley but I would lean a bradley UD.

Funny how I was thinkin bout this earlier while in the gym.

Keith can hurt Bradley but he's been hurt before and has shown the heart to withstand punishment. Bradley's superior boxing skill outclasses Thurman to land him a unanimous decision.

Thurman is not some flavor of the week. A few of us have been following his path of destruction and we see the possibilities. Young hungry and unafraid.

He's no flavor of the week. He's also still untested. Soto Karass has been beaten up plenty. Remember Mike Jones?

Thurman is good. I honestly don't know if he can beat Bradley or not because I need to see him tested.

I just think it's funny people use the Prov fight as a reference when Timmy fought a terrible game plan.
