Timothy Bradley Vs. Keith Thurman

[Rome-By-Ko]

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.

Slightly better hand speed, and their footwork being the same is the only thing ridiculous tbh..Bradley had far better footwork then Thurman and much faster hands and feet..btw what do you even have to compare Thurman adaptability?? Dude has fought the same kinda fighter over and over..Come forward guys that lack intangibles..I'm not trying to bag on Thurman, just stating fact..

As for your Prov comment,I said Thurman had more tools..That don't make him the better fighter..Like I said, you do not know how Thurman would respond to a fighter like Prov..Who its one of the best pressure fighters right now, who cuts the ring off great..

But you're not stating fact, you're actually just speaking just to speak. Zavek and Soto-Karass fight nothing alike. Also Chavez fought with a shoulder roll and was quick on his feet, not to mention a murderous puncher.

Thurman is a far better fighter than Provo. And Bradley does only have slightly faster handspeed and his footwork really is not that much better.

On what basis is Chavez a murderous puncher?

Thurman is being seriously underrated on here. He's got far more in his locker than people think.

Bradley got schooled by Pacquiao (no shame in that) and arguably lost against Provodnikov, who's very limited. His win against Marquez was good, but Marquez has always struggled against fighters with movement. Bradley is a solid fighter, nothing more.

Please stfu with this 'Bradley's more proven' bull****. He's been in the ring with bigger names because he's been around for longer, you can't always go by what you see on the resumes. Sometimes you just gotta look at the talent...and imo Thurman's got more in his locker than Bradley. He's a more complete fighter. He can do everything Bradley can, plus he's got FAR more power.

Zaveck Karass Chavez all were right I'm front of Thurman..They all fought him the same way..

Prov has a better win, and is a champion..I can't say Thurman is hands down a better fighter..

Again Bradley has way faster feet and hands then Thurman..No question about it, his footwork is also a lot better..You go ahead and down play it doe..

Just put your money on it on fight night. I'll be here if you got nobody to bet with.

Provo has a better win, who's that?? Alvarado?? Better win than who? take your pick. That's one good win against solid consistent wins.

I'm not down playing Bradley, but a recognize Thurman's qualities. Most of Bradley's best work was at 140. At 147, things get interesting. I favor the guy who's bigger and more powerful when all things are considered.

Bad step up for Thurman. Bradley has to much movement, skill, and heart for Thurman at this point. Thurman should step up with either Maidana or Porter right now. Garcia at a catchweight right now would be a great step up fight for Thurman win or lose also a great intro to welterweight for Garcia.

I don't think I'm underrating Bradley, just think his resume and ability are being blown out of proportion. Beating the likes of Peterson and Alexander is no big achievement. Marquez is the only outstanding win on his resume (a past it Marquez, who has a history of struggling against fighters who can move).

I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I'd have my money on Thurman for sure. We won't see the fight unless Bradley signs with GBP anyway.
