    Keith is right, he doesn't give a **** about the sport but I could of told you that years and years ago it was that obvious.

    Most protected... HOW!

    More like the most ducked fighter about in the WW division albeit he hasn't had that solid challenge that we want to see him have but he has beat some pretty damn good opponents.

      Wow.

      Is this really what fans do now? Say that a fighter who is turned down often is being protected?

        I love this guy in an interview. His passion and honesty win me over. I agree with just about everything he says, except talking about how young he is, because 25 is not terribly young in boxing, in the lower weights, and the years fly by. Big fights happen sporadically.

        NSB always craps over young fights, saying they never fought nobody, same old stuff all time. You have to be able to discern qualities within the young fighter, because when a fighter is building up his rep, he is never going to have all time greats on the resume at the beginning.

        But I like "One-Time" a lot. I hope he gets the marquee opponent real soon. It should be a really tasty event.

          Thurman vs Guerrero or Maidana,if he wins let him fight May..Or hell even Bradley,would love to see that as well..

          Thurman needs a good win to get his name in the hat..Guerrero or Maidana is a good start..

                Btw if Provodnikov TKOed Bradley then imagine what Thurman would do to the poor guy. He would turn him into a vegetable.

                  Thurman really made him self sound ****** in this interview. Mayweather can't be the best ever skillwise because he lays on the ropes and doesn't use his footwork as much now that he's older? Are you ****ing kidding me! So to be the best ever skill wise you need to be impervious to age?
                  Ok gotchya One Time

                  Just another young fighter that thinks he's invincible and will be tamed by Mayweather.

                    Guerrero and Maidana already walked away from him, so it's not like he hasn't tried to fight them. I doubt they'd want it now. I'd love to see a Bradley fight.

                    Wow, are we actually able to talk about fights like Bradley/Thurman again?!

                      What did he say that was incorrect or disrespectful?

                      Sensitive ass fans. Y'all need hugs.
