    I think he is avoided. He just needs some more polishing. I like Thurman a lot

        Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's not worth losing to him yet.

            Exactly say Floyd or Manny fought him and lost....huge blow. They fought him and dominated....so what? Who's Thurman and what's his resume like? Oh not great....well whatever he was a bum.

            It's the logic of boxing these sadly.

                People are still making this ridiculous comparison in 2014

                    Thurman is a goofy hypejob. He's a big puncher who doesn't have a big enough following, he's high risk low reward.

                        They dont fight in the same style, but both were very exciting,,

                        Thurman will have an easier time landing big fights since he has the bigger promoter

                            Paul might have got the big fights if he stayed in one division.

                                How is it ridiculous considering their similar body and the fact both are remarkably lengthy for the welterweight division. Williams and Hearns were much to bug for that division yet put in work.

                                    Considering they fought nothing alike. Tyson Fury is similar in height and reach to Wladimir Klitschko. Doesn't make the comparison any less dumb.
