    As of right now,I have seen nothing to suggest Thurman can beat Bradley..I like Thurman a lot,so I'm not gonna spend time tearing him down..What I will say is,Bradley footwork hand speed and in fighting would cause Thurman hella issues..Thurman also has not really fought a high level guy just yet..Until that point Thurman is still a bit of a unknown product..

    I see people downing Peterson Alexander Prov..I'll say this,each guy has fought high level opponents and won,which is more then can be said for Thurman..So if your calling those fighters bums and c level fighters..What would that make Thurman at this point??All I'm saying is yes those fighters were B level(imo B level guys are world class guys which all of those fighters are),Bradley beat um when undefeated(except for Prov)and when they were looking to make a statement..Bradley has shown his class..For that,I'm going with Bradley by UD..Thurman is still on the come up tbh,and imo is not ready for Bradley yet..

      You sure?? Thurman is a much better fighter than Provo in every sense of the word. He wouldn't gas out. Bradley won't simply start to box leaving One Time 1 dimensional after being hurt. Thurman can easily box or slug as opposed to just slugging. Bradley can also box and slug with the biggest difference being the level in power between the 2.

        There are a lot of difference between the two of them..Your just choosing to focus on 1 which is power..Bradley is not easy to hit at all,his footwork is better by miles then Thurman,Bradley is also faster of hand and feet..If your just relying on Power for Thurman to win this fight,that's a mistake..I know Thurman does have some skill..It's why I do rate him high at this point of his career..How do you know Thurman won't Gas tho??Dude Prov was in the best shape of his career when he fought Bradley..How was he too know Bradley was made from steel??

        What makes you think Thurman hit's harder then Prov??Also how do you know Thurman is a better fighter then Prov??I think that remains to be seen,not to mention bro,Prov has a better win then Thurman has at this stage of both fighters career..If you mean tools,I'd say yes..Thurman does have a bit more skill then Prov..Don't sleep tho,Prov is an animal..There is no telling how Thurman would respond to him at all..

        At this point,I like what I'm seeing from Thurman..He's getting better with each fight,and looking like he's taking the sport seriously..I just don't know if he's ready for Bradley..If I was a betting man,I'd say no he's not ready just yet..

          I like Thurman a lot, but I think we'd have to favor the more proven fighter here. Bradley by UD, although if it were announced I'd look into the matchup more closely.

            Not sure yet. But would probably go with the more proven guy (Bradley).

            But this fight can't get made unfortunately...........

              Provo is a one dimensional come forward fighter. Thurman is clearly superior in the fact that he adapts, can pressure, slug or fight off of the backfoot. To act like Provo is anywhere near as effective is simply ridiculous.

              It's not about Thurman's power alone which I stated in the 1st post. Bradley may have slightly faster hands, I'd say the footwork is about the same and Thurman clearly has the power edge, backing up or pressing. I do not think Bradley's slightly better handspeed wins out over Thurman's usable power.

                thurman would win a UD where he hurts or drops bradley
                we'd be left with an imprint in our minds of all the times bradley got his head snapped back and wobbled

                  Thurman's a good fighter but still relatively unproven.

                  He's doing the right things at the moment albeit has shown some flaws.

                  As who's win I'd pick Bradley would it would be a good fight.

                    I love keith thurman as a fighter but lets get serious!!! Bradley is tested before he ever got critical acclaim I remember this kid went to the UK and took the welterweight belt from Junior Witter Bradley is one of the toughest fighters in the welterweight division, he's been in that squared circle with the best fighters in the world and has never been embarrased or had his heart questioned and he still enjoys an undefeated record as much potential as Keith Thurman has Bradley isnt the right fight for him.

                      Easy fight to call. Bradley by UD.

                      He's going to make Thurman miss all night and outpoint him.

                      Edit: There's only 2 fighters that can beat Bradley. Pacquiao and Mayweather.
