    Until he steps up he's Berto to me.

      Yea, he looks really bad at times. Ppl hailing him as something he hasn't proven to be. I think he's a good fighter but he's got a lot to prove before he warrants any right to talk about a fighter like Floyd.

        If that fight gets made, I'd put some points on One Time. Wanna bet?

          Sounds like a real fighter, I like thurman in the ring and his passion outside. Every fighter who puts on gloves shoukd feel like they are the best and can beat anyone. Floyd does fight like an old man, he is old and less likely to open up unless he has to. If you let him fight his fight like hopkins its a 8 to or 9 to 3 fight every time out

              He has power, no doubt. But he's also there to be hit. He's an exciting fighter, but I'd like to see him in with the winner of Porter Brook, which will only happen if Porter wins.

              Thurman can go to 154 to seek slightly riskier fights. Thurman needs to target someone, like Maidana, and keep calling him out, but he hasn't done this, has he?

                Thurman is a dangerous guy at 147. I don't see Mayweather giving him a shot at this point. Thurman vs Maidana would be a great test for Thurman though.

                  He needs to push for the Floyd fight, otherwise it makes more sense for him to sign with Top Rank for more money and the #2, #3 and #4 WWs.

                    I think he looks good too. But he's being built up properly. He's got Haymon and will be given the opportunity to step up when they feel he's ready.
