    Only problem I see for Thurman at this point of his career, is for him to fall in love with his power game. Because sooner or later he's gonna run into a guy that can take his power, then we'll see what Thurman is really made of.

      Not sure what to think about Diaz' comments. Seems like he may be content to just put on a good show. That whole "I'll do my part..." comment coupled with his stated appreciation for GB hooking him up makes me think he's just going to show up to play his 'tough opponent' role for Golden Boy.

          Possible. He's got the skills. I just wonder if he's half as hungry as Thurman though.

            Thurman may get too ****y and get wrecked.

              He kind of had to box and move his last fight after getting rocked early against JSK...he showed good skill and not just standing flat footed throwing bombs.

                And Soto- Karass looked like he was throwing punches in slow motion and his feet were stuck in quicksand. Thurman will get exposed against the first good fighter with power he fight's.

                  Looks like the diaz that fought khan didn't show up didn't know this was diaz last fight but that explains the bad showing

                      That Happened with Chavez and he switched up the game and dominated down the stretch en route to a ko.
