thurman vs mayweather

[caliAv]

Thurman simply gets out boxed Mayweather wins by UD by a big margin. He fights bums I'd like to see him fight Khan

[BUNGALOWS]

Mayweather hands down, Thurman's rhythm will definitely be picked on in the midst of round 1 and the rest will be like any other matches.. Thurman does not hold the combination of being that fast and agile tenacity to keep going forward after taking money's counter..
What history also told us is that conventional punchers usually fall short to connect, unless you are willing to open up and throw over overhands which happens to be what fighters can take away from the may-maidana fight..

Since when is Thurman a conventional puncher? The guy KOs people with hybrid upper cut/hooks.

Also, he throws with you, and can actually hurt you while going backwards. I think this is a great fight.

That's the point, Thurman is consistent in doing so. And Mayweather will definitely exploit on that. We have seen fighters with good techniques getting overwhelmed under pressure and relying on their usual timing for comfort; that's how mayweather times their rhythm..

Of course Floyd's good at timing people's rhythms, but when he does that, it usually ends up with him backing them down. At this stage, I think Thurman could definitely put up a good fight in the middle of the ring, and anywhere the fight takes place.

The thing I like about this fight is, Thurman punches with you, and has very good hand speed. Also, Floyd can't back him down, and pick him apart.

That's 1 thing right there that Floyd can't simply expose. Another thing is, he's a mover with fresher legs. On top of that, he throws in combinations in close, so Floyd's ability to "fight on the inside" isn't going to be as dramatic against a guy like Thurman.

People keep thinking of Porter as the guy with combinations on the inside, but Thurman's placement and velocity on the inside is wicked.

All that being said, Floyd most likely wins, but I'm giving reasons why this is a good fight, and no one really knows what's gonna happen in this one.

Anyone can say, "Floyd will figure him out, and Floyd will UD him", but we have to see the fight to see what happens. Thurman can definitely upset Floyd at this point in his career.

[BUNGALOWS]

Basically, my point is, i expect Thurman to put up a very good fight, and wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if he beats Floyd. Of course, the way I see him beating Floyd is by catching him with something, then beating on a hurt Floyd, or possibly ending his night.

My point isn't that Thurman definitely beats him.

I agree that Mayweather is better controlling area at the end of his reach.. But I still don't see how Thurman can be as aggressive inside as Maidana did..

Thurman-Mayweather would be a good one, but all in all I'm a lot more interested in the more probable Chino-Money II and how Maidana would fare had he not put on 20+ pounds before the fight would aid his stamina and his native power

While Maidana might be more of the aggressor on the inside, Thurman can place his shots much better on the inside with serious speed. He can also turn with you, and throws punches at odd angles, just like Maidana. Not as pronounced as Miadana, but he can hit you with something from left field, and keep doing it all night.

The thing I like about Thurman is his stamina. The guy threw non stop power punches against Zaveck, and many were expecting him to fade, and finally wilt to the pressure, but he didn't. I knew he was special after that fight.

Floyd/Maidana 2 doesn't really interest me. It's nothing more than Floyd/Miadana 1, except a few more rounds going to Floyd, because I expect adjustments. I could be totally wrong, and Maidana comes in like a bat out of hell, while Floyd turns old over night. Who knows, but still, Maidana threw the kitchen sink at him, and Floyd still won. NEXT.

Floyd out boxes him, would love to see it happen.
