I'd say that Chaves is probably the best Thurman's faced and he didn't look too good in that fight. But got the job done.
Karass looks like he has his feet nailed to the floor when he fights.
Senchenko was stopped on cuts. But he's never been down in a fight previously to when he fought Brook. Brook also dropped Hatton which Canelo couldn't.
Regardless, I was impressed with Thurman in his last fight as I've also explained in a thread I made about him last month. But I also do think he'll have his fair share of problems when he faces better opponents. And I think Brook would beat him if they fought now.
senchenko was not only a nobody, he was totally shot when brook fought him. i saw the paulie fight [the brook fight as well, obviously] and it wasn't as if senchenko was beating paulie and that paulie was fortunate to cut him. you brits are also big on home territory [i think it's incredibly overrated when you're talking about a guy who has been traveling the world fighting since he was a kid, and only worry about officiating.] paulie went to the ukraine to beat senchenko at a time when paulie was seen as all done.
when you've got to mention ndou, matt hatton, and senchenko, the resume isn't good. thurman doesn't have a great resume either, but it's better already than brook.
it's also painfully obvious when you watch them fight who is better. thurman moves well and can really punch. i'm watching soto karass beat up carson jones as we speak. he's whipped his ass to the body and head so far, and i'm in the 3rd round.

I voted Thurman by KO. Brook is not bad but Thurman has done better against stronger opposition. Thurman seems to end all his fights by knocking his opponent out and I think he would add Brook to his list of KO victims.

I don't think so at all. Brook is a lot smoother than Thurman and he moves well and can punch too. He's physically stronger too (based on each of their fights).
Soto Karass might have beaten up Jones, I haven't watched that fight - but I don't see how that makes a good case for Brook < Thurman. I'm not into all the triangle theory stuff.

This fight would never happen not in a million years.
Brook is far too protected
Brook would get knocked unconscious before the 7th
