Thurman interview

[John Locke]

GBP have tried to match him up with Porter, Maidana, Guerrero, Pauli etc, they've all turned it down.

I hope we get to see Thurman vs Porter after Porter beats the crap out of Brook. I'd like to see him fight Maidana as well if he doesn't get that Floyd rematch...he might be willing to fight Thurman now.

Doubt it, he'll want Broner. No one's going to want to fight Thurman except maybe Collazo whose name is low-value right now.

Personally I think Maidana would beat Thurman's ass. Thurman can't pay Chino an extra US$ 900,000.00 to wear pillows.

Can't see it. Thurman is better in every department. I think he boxes Maidana's ears off early, works the body and stops him late.

If you think Thurman outboxes Chino cleanly, you're smoking some good ****, homeboy. The best boxer on the planet couldn't box him cleanly, yet you think a hypejob will? Thurman is good but I'm being realistic. Chino would ruin him.

Alexander outboxed Maidana clean, is he a better boxer than Floyd?

Maidana can't afford to be as wild as he usually is against somebody like Thurman, so he'll be a lot more cautious than he usually is (if he's not, he gets put to sleep).

So is he a hypejob or is he good? Chino wouldn't ruin him, because Thurman can throw bombs while moving around on the backfoot. Chino is soft to the body too and you saw how Thurman's last fight ended.

Maidana beat Ortiz when Ortiz was like Thurman is currently. And also Broner. He's 2-0 against hypejobs.

I like Thurman but he's still unproven. He's knocking out guys he's suppose to. Chino is experienced, has defense (Mayweather and Broner were missing a lot), high volume, big power, heart, and the ability to overcome adversity every time he is faced with adversity.

So far, Thurman's power has bailed him out every time he's about to face adversity.

Do you at least agree with me on this...

Maidana-Thurman would end one of two ways, which ever occurs first...

Maidana by KO. (60% probability)

Or Thurman by body shot KO. (40% probability)

You're either a wind up merchant or clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Have you not seen Thurman's fight against Chaves? His boxing ability proved to be the difference against a very dangerous and underrated opponent.

Thurman deserves a shot now! .... All these guys looking for big payday's and claiming that he's not on their level need a reality check.

Only one dude in the WW division can make claims that someone's not ready to be in the ring with them based on experience and stature. All the rest need to get real and mix it up to weed out the pretenders and hype-jobs.

GBP need to stop pampering certain fighters, feeding them one stiff after another because their game is suspect. If they can't hang with the big-dogs, they can't hang.

Force these guys to fight each other!!!!

No more of this "Do you want to fight Thurman crap".
