    How good is keith thurman?

    We don't really know yet. For all we know, he might just well be another Berto or Broner. They look good on inferior opposition. But when competition is a tad higher, they get mauled and lose in embarrassing fashion.

      Let's just say I think Danny Garcia vs Thurman would be a HELL of a match.

        Not sure how he will fair against the big punchers
        Name the big punchers at WW who are going to put it on Thurman. Imo he's already faced the biggest puncher in the division and stopped him.

        Thurman is a 147 version of your HW fave.

            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!
            Ray.
            His last 5 opponents have a combined record of 140-15 and his last 3 were all very high class fighters.

              Soto Karass the biggest puncher in the WW division????
              Thurman and Chino KO Soto Karass. I wonder how would Khan do against him.

              Thurman is a smart and strong fighter. He was hurt against Chaves and Soto Karass. I wonder if he can take Chino's punches.

                  Up and coming guy, good power, speed and awkward. Ain't completely sold on the guy like some, his defense has holes as others pointed out. But has seemed to step his game up every fight. We'll have to wait and see.

                    Diego Chaves.

                    Not sure how Khan enters the conversation?
