Comments Thread For: Brook: I'm Ready For Mega-Fight, Mayweather, Thurman

[P4PLoser]

I agree, I'd also throw Algeiri in there

Lol you hyping a pacman opponent? That guy is 140 and has no business in the welterweight division. Thurman will destroy him.

[ИATAS]

Keith Thurman is NOT a top 5 Welterweight!!!!! He does not deserve a title shot!!!! Make him beat a top 5 fighter

Wait...Thurman isn't good enough to fight Brook? This would be a very good fight

thurman isn't held in high enough regard to fight brook

[KnickTillDeaTh]

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

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.

Thurman vs guerrero and khan vs brook as the main event from a split site in the uk, then winners face off! I like the idea of that!

Anyone think marquez can beat brook?

Anyone think marquez can beat brook?

No.

JMM is an artificial 147 and stands about 5'5''. He hasn't fought a legit sized WW since moving up; Bradley, Pac and Alvarado could all fight at 140. Brook is 5'10'', very strong at the weight and hits hard....it would be worse than Bradley and could be the fight JMM gets stopped.

Imo i think marquez will try and persue this fight, hes so obsessed about being a champion in 4 weight classes and as much as i dislike jmm i'd like to see him try! Khan most likely will get the fight with brook though.

[bojangles1987]

I'd be very happy with Brook vs. either Khan or Thurman.

Alvarado was huge, easily a welterweight, he's just not very good.
