Comments Thread For: Thurman Would Love To Move Up and Fight Canelo

[nycsmooth]

I've stated several times if it happens Keith wins, but mayb in 2 years, alvarez needs 2 get past Lara, then? Pac???

I need to see Nelo against Lara before I call him the real deal..I respect Nelo's heart though as he seems to really want to fight the best..He ****** against Floyd, should have gotten no more than a draw against Trout, and most of his opposition was against older and smaller men so I can't say right now that he's the man.

Truer words have never been spoken. Nelo is good but he's got to get by Lara first, AND without the judges and/or ref in his back pocket. If he can do that, then he's definitely the truth.

didn't he start his career at 154

HE says he fought in the weight class but never at 154. He wants to fight at 147 but will go up for the Canelo payday basically.

Thurman looks like a solid prospect but there is nothing about his game that makes me think he beats Canelo at any weight.

Power and ability to fight on the backfoot. Canelo trying to come forward walking onto Thurman bombs would be interesting.

He hasnt beat the best in his own division yet so i dont know why people would think he is gonna beat one of the best in a higher division. Hes got pop going for him and a cool sounding nickname but so do a lot of fighters.

Who has Canelo beat that makes him one of the best at 154? Angulo?

because most people on here had Trout beating him in the post-fight poll and Trout is not great.

The same can be said of Thurman's record, but let's not put Canelo on a pedestal because his record at the weight (when he actually makes weight) doesn't warrant it.

To be fair, he beat the brakes off Angulo. And the Trout fight was close. Trout isnt great but he is solid. Both are better than Soto Karass and Zavek.

Plus i never put Canelo on any pedestal

Thurman time is coming but not yet

Why would the hell Alvarez need to get past pacs sorry ass? He's at top stank.I do agree with Lara though.

[Kiddoe]

Depending on how everything plays out, this would be a great matchup at 154 by late '15.
