    He could potentially beat them all.

        He's a future top 5 P4P fighter, possibly top 3. Very special fighter.

          Broner and Bradley need to avoid this guy, but this is boxing so that shouldn't be that hard

            One of the most impressive talents I have seen in recent years. His power was what caught my eye first but then I saw ring IQ (he makes wise adjustments), dynamic movement and good speed along with it. I truly believe he will be one of the dominant forces for the next decade. Love his style and attitude, Thurman is the complete package.

              Thurman is a fast rising WW and soon to be belt holder whenever he gets a shot. He's a big puncher that can box and move as well. That makes him very dangerous. Sometimes he loads up on his shots too much but usually its when he's going for the kill. Thurman passes the eye test and i believe he can beat alot of the top fighters in the division. Time will tell how good he is.

              Hes also shown the ability to take a punch and make adjustments during the fight.

                50% of his oponents have loosing records his only good win is Soto Karass so I wouldn't expect anything substancial for atleast 3 more fights. Theres no need to rush this guy maybe shoot for Mayweathes no.4 fight!

                His dfense isn't very good and his awkwardness is his best attribute for now.
                He has some power but will it translate when he moves up with caliber opponent?
                Right now a few more "fringe" guys then a test with lil Rocky might be a hel of a match up!

                  His ceiling won't be very high but a very solid fighter. Primarily because of how low he keeps his hands when he's mixing it up in transition and his overall, general lack of mastery of his own coordination when he's throwing those arcing and looping power punches. He's constantly making little mistakes and as his opposition gets better he'll be made to pay for those mistakes with greater regularity and increased consequence.

                    He's good, but from what i have seen his defense is awful,

                    Not sure how he will fair against the big punchers
