      Who lost to what many here consider to be a C class punching bag in Brandon Rios.

      Duck and run, son.
      So fighters can't have a tune up fight anymore? Why is Thurman seemingly targeting fighters coming off of losses and claiming they're ducking him? Like Guerrero and Maidana?

      Why doesn't Thurman publicly call out Alexander who has expressed a willingness to fight him?

        I think he's a solid fighter, but the hype has elevated him beyond what he is IMO.

        Good speed and good power with solid boxing ability, but I think his defense is leaky and I have serious doubts about his chin.

        I believe he'll turn out to be a world level contender, but I have seen things against lesser opposition that I think will be exploited when his quality of opponent increases.

          Mentioning someone's name ONCE is not calling them out.

          Thurman DID call out Alexander first anyways.

            u sound like what people were saying about brook pre porter fight

            thurmann is a real threat, nobody is going to be the perfect article this young in his career, but when ur breaking ur opponents rib cage and knocking boxers out clean, this here is a sign for better things to come

            Thurmans chin may have question marks, the same cud be said for Brook

              So what if Khan and Brook don't want Thurman for their next fight. Then Alexander got tired of calling out Thurman and Devon finds himself another partner, who do you think Thurman will fight next? Roberto Garcia? Let's be real here.

                Also like someone said above boxers are waiting to see some vulnerability in Thurmann

                High risk low reward

                Thurmans best bet is to take on Devon, but if he KO's Devon, den i dont think any boxer will go near Thurmann. That wud be a huge statement because Devons been in the ring with big punchers and won

                  I wasn't.

                  It's easy to look back and see the posts about Kell; I had no doubt his fundamentals, jab and clean punching would be enough at the highest level.

                  I don't see the same things in Thurman, I think he gets too wild when on attack and leaves himself wide open. As I said, I think he's good and has big power, but I think the flaws will be exploited.

                    Thurmans style is awkward, he reminds me of David Haye somewhat

                    We simply dont know enough about him, but from what i see, this guy looks dangerous and his style is different from a lot of boxers ive seen at 147.

                    His best bet like i said is to fight Devon, but if he knocks Devon out, believe me Brook and Khan will never go near him

                      Thurman hasn't had any luck getting top level welterweights to fight him, and since he's Haymon I doubt he'll get anyone good for his next fight.
