Is it safe to call thurman hrs new Paul Williams

[Beercules]

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

[BUNGALOWS]

It's fair to say he's being avoided but mostly due to his risk reward. Give him more time to grow his name outside of NSB. If a big name was his first major step up and they beat him they'd have little credit for it...give it time it'll happen.

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

[Grimgash]

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.

Paul had speed, height and length on almost everyone at welterweight. To me that was the fear he brought to the welterweight division like Hearns did. Thurman though powerful and exciting to watch; he still seems very beatable.

People are still making this ridiculous comparison in 2014

[Bradley is CRAP]

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

[Sugar Adam Ali]

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

[RubenSonny]

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.
