    No question he CAN BE and I think against better competition you will see a EVEN BETTER Keith Thurman

    He is Versatile, he can Box, he Can Brawl, not afraid to get hit and he is a great Interview with good charisma. Doesn't Have The Over The Top Arrogant but VERY CONFIDENT

    What a fighter is that good, people line up to fight him and call those guys out, however when a fighter is good, notice how they struggle to get quality fights:
    Ward
    Rigondeaux

    It is not a ***in coincidence, so no it is not about "Money", Thurman clearly strikes FEAR in the hearts of most Welterweights and they use "Money" as an excuse not to fight him but they know deep down in their hearts that is not the case at all

    The Real Issue is that he is a BIG Welterweights with some skills and serious Power. If they considered him beatable they would be lining up trying to fight him and steal his Thunder from the hype he is getting from the fans. So for him to stay active that they to just get who ever is willing to fight and that brings on Criticism from Stubborn ****** FANS

    Saying all that...He is only 25 Years Old, what is the rush for him exactly? His career I think is going on the right path and moving at the right speed. Mayweather need to give up that WBA belt though because sitting on that bet is effecting him directly. At least with that belt he could just fight his Mandatory until one of these fighters grow a pair and fight him

      Thurman will continue to be referred to as a hype job until he fights one of the top caliber fighters. Thurman fans should be pushing for the Alexander fight, instead of just yapping. When Alexander becomes unavailable, Thurman will be left with another Soto Karass equivalent.

              Mayweather is the Super Champ. It would make a great fight. Just saying
              So in other words he's not a champion at all

                honestly, at this point i see him eventually getting taken out by a straight right

                im not sure about his chin and he has that opening, haven't seen much of a straight right from him neither, and his style is a very young mans style

                    It brings a tear to my eye seeing so many people seeing past the smoke and mirrors and seeing Thurman for what he is. An untested, unproven prospect that hasn't accomplished anything to get all the hype that he has. Don't do this to yourselves again, guys. Russell was supposed to be this unbeatable monster, Porter was supposed to be this unbeatable monster, Broner was supposed to be this unbeatable monster. You guys are too excitable and easily impressed.

                      I like crwaford and this is a long stretch but felix verdejo is the next super star if he didnt run into lomachenko at the olypmpics i believe he wouldve of won the gold and would be a lot farther in his career.
