Keith thurman What I think

[boxingman25]

He is a good fighter with good hand speed and great Power and reflexes

But he needs to stop fighting so much with his hand down that is gong to get him caught with something big and possibly stopped.

He is not Ready for Floyd Period he would get picked apart but he would cause

mayweather a little bit of a trouble.




Also he needs to fight some bigger names I know Ghost did not want to fight him

He needs to fight a live body to really see were his boxing skill is at like a Devon Alexander

I do thing he will be very good welterweight possibly great

I really think With a little bit more seasoning he would would beat Tim Bradley

[aaron.king]

Yeah, he's a little chinny. I'm not going overboard -- I'm not saying he has a bad chin, but he gets clipped a little more often than you'd like to see. As good as his reflexes and defensive instincts are, he's got to be a little more conscientious on defense.

[SplitSecond]

i think that left uppercut would be vicious vs mayweather

not saying he'd win, just saying, floyd has been open to that punch before

[Weebler I]

Thurman's not ready for Floyd, but Guerrero, Ortiz and Maidana were...

[_original_]

It's hard to pinpoint his flaws because we haven't seen him with anybody really good yet, don't get me wrong I think his resume isn't as bad as some make it out to be (Zaveck, Chaves, and JSK were solid wins), but he needs to get a fight lined up with a known name. He's kind of got the GGG syndrome going on right now, as in he's blowing by everybody but since he's also avoided, many critique his lack of marquee wins.

[JaguaresMx]

I want to jump on the hype train .... But I need to see him tested for real. His chin could be trpuble. Like a crack in the foundation

[BUNGALOWS]

The thing I like with him against Floyd is the fact that he can fight going backwards, so Floyd loses that option of walking someone down, and COMPLETELY neutralizing them.

And we've seen when he mixes it up with you, he can put you down. Obviously Floyd's not mixing it up with him, but I also love the fact that he can move, and he has enough speed when he ambushes to give Floyd some trouble.

Floyd should win, but one of those fights you have to actually see, and can't 100% say what happens.

Floyd vs. the plodders he's been facing are 100% victories with maybe a landed punch here and there.

With Thurman it's not so simple to predict what exactly happens.

[Resilient]

Thurman's not ready for Floyd, but Guerrero, Ortiz and Maidana were...

Because they actually beat a B grade opponent

I'm curious why you think that, that's not really the punch that comes to mind that can be easily landed on Floyd, matter fact I've hardly seen him get hit with uppercuts.

[SN!PER]

This fight made me think about something.

So.. Thurman broke Diaz's ribs. If a welterweight is strong enough to break ribs, why don't cruiserweights and heavyweights go to the body more? You'd think the bigger guys would be throwing hooks to the body all night if ribs are that fragile.
