floyd
manny
bradley


are the only 3 i would be sure beat him

And you're "sure" Bradley would beat him? That's interesting cause I'd be leaning the opposite way.

Keith Thurman just has power and limited boxing skills.....he does have a beautiful uppercut...... but allow me to name people who beat him........
Mayweather
Pac
Marquez
Brook
Guerrero
Rios


That's right I said Rios........
Now this is all depending on if there is testing or not. ....then the list will change.....
Bradley would outbox him.....he's never been in there with a puncher.....if Amir Khan had a chin he would easily outbox him.....and last but not least Madiana would knock him out

Rios would look like Apollo Creed vs Drago. That fight wouldn't be close. Rios is a heavy bag, nothing more.

I know your issue, your paying so much attention to Thurman's insane power that you miss everything else. watch the clips and pay good attention to the foot work, the angles, and the in and out that Thurman utilizes to dominate his opponents. And this is just a short video of mostly knock outs. He can land power going forward or backward, he can land Knock out shots off balance and he never takes his eyes off his opponent. He was full sparring with professionals in his early teens. The boy has a lot of improving to do, but at welterweight only Mayweather surely beats him.

Rios? He is a glorified punching bag, bradley has no power and would not be able to keep Thurman at bay, Marquez is far to small as Thurman is a large Welterweight Brook is not that good and neither is porter for that matter, Guerrero would be a good fight but Thurman over powers Guerrero and is far more dynamic, judging by the bludgeoning that Guerrero took from his last opponent, unbelievable you actually think Guerrero would stand up to that type of punishment from Thurman. Pac is interesting, hard to call because Thurman will be the bigger, stronger, younger and more powerful of the too, Pac slowing down and is not as explosive as he used to be, would be a dangerous fight for Pac, winnable but dangerous.

I'll concede that Thurman is unproven but to say he has no skill and is just a power puncher shows a lack of knowledge of the sweet science.

I agree with everything you said but I think Guerrero getting busted up had more to do with being rusty. He didnt look like himself.

CARSON, Calif.- Turns out, it was Showtime ... for "The Special One," Kell Brook.

In a minor upset, Britain's Kell Brook (33-0, 22 KOs), of Sheffield, England, won a battle of undefeated welterweights and the IBF world title with a majority 12-round decision over defending champion "Showtime" Shawn Porter (24-1-1, 15 KOs), of Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday on SHOWTIME from StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.

Brook, fighting in his first world championship match and making only his second start in the United States, won by the scores of 117-111, 116-112 and 114-114. There were no knockdowns.

So they take a nobody in Porter(in terms of star power) and have him headline in Cali on a card with like two three belts on the line to get less then 8k.

They coulda just took the main event, took it over to england at the o2 arena, Brook showed he had a shred of boxing skills so that alone woulda packed 20k in an arena that would have exploded at the decision and would have exploded at the undercard.

Aside from Englands disgraceful taxes I find it rediculous that the country gets no big fights

Porter didn't look the same with the random-blood testing...

Yes he did.

Thurman deserves a shot, but he's gotta go to the UK and take it, just like Brook came to the U.S. and took Porter's belt. Props to Brook if he takes a fight with Thurman. Both Khan and Thurman are tough choices, but Khan will get him more money. If Brook chooses Thurman, he'll be doing it to spite Khan for making him wait. Like Chris Rock said about O.J., "I wouldn't do it, but I understand!"

[Bronx2245]

One opponent not mentioned, which could be very lucrative, is Juan Manuel Marquez. Brook could be his ticket to a welterweight belt. I think a fight with Marquez would be a much more lucrative choice than a fight with Thurman. If Brook wants to get paid, his choice should be between Marquez and Khan.

brook you certainly held it down in there tonight. props for holding on and getting the victory. You embraced the challenge and seized victory from a worthy opponent. I still can't grasp what you accomplished.

LOL...I see what you did there.
