      I don't usually side with "Truth" but in fairness to Thurman, Bundu is a solid well rounded fighter, and by far the toughest opponent he will have faced upto date.

      People disrespecting Bundu need to watch the guy fight, 5 of his last 6 W's have come by TKO so don't be fooled by the low KO ratio in his victories as he can definitely **** hard enough to make you respect him.

        A couple of guys looking to fight him wouldn't hurt but that is asking a lot given the real estate his store is set up in.

        I don't think any adviser is helping that dangerous youngster secure good fights in the same division as the two biggest stars everyone else is angling for. The best advice to give him is wait a bit for those guys who are at the end while getting the best possible fights (which are currently lacking but he is not the only one in that situation). Right now he needs to get lucky like those two guys fighting each other~ then a lot of guys need to make moves to be who is next for that winner.

          Most boxers peak round this period, as they still have most of their physical gifts and have the addition of experience and maturity.

          Next year is crucial for Thurman and he needs to get some B level names on his resume, I am dissapointed that the Alexander fight didn't happen, that would be a solid B guy that I believe he would handle, and it would get his name out there and somewhat legitimise him.

          From next year on, no more Bundu's, Soto Karrass, Zavecks etc.... no more C level guys, 2015 he needs to get some solid B guys on his resume or his career will stagnate.
          You know damn well you don't like Thurman.
          All GGG does is fight c level fighters...what about that?

            I agree. 2015 needs to be a big year for Thurman. Bundu is a good fighter

              Andre Ward is wasting his career, Thurman still has plenty of time.

                Bundu is a decent fighter. Underrated.
                Thurman beats him though, and then needs to step up against the bigger name welterweights in 2015.

                  Your boy Marvin Hagler wasted a lot of his career.

                    Didn't he just have an injury?
                    I think hes doing ok, I like him.
                    I think he needs some defensive fine tuning and he'll be alright.
                    He's a great talker which is great for boxing.
