Comments Thread For: Thurman Sees Maidana as The Path To Mayweather

The bombs sure didn't hurt Floyd though. Why? Because they didn't land clean and he was wearing pillows for gloves! Yes, Maidana landed a few shots which his fans have rammed into gifs posted on this site, but most of them just didn't hit the mark. Regardless of what compubox numbers say. Punches LOOK like they're landing till you watch closely or in slow motion replay. Then you see they ain't doing ****. TBE TBE TBE!!!

Fixed it for you!

Pacquaio has the best chance among today's fighters, but still not much. I don't think you can be smaller in frame than Floyd and have much of a chance. And Pacquaio doesn't have serious one punch power.

Pac's strength is in landing lots of blows that add up. The damage accumulates. It's fabulous. But he won't be able to land enough of Floyd.

Tommy Hearns at WW would have a great chance to beat Floyd. So would a few other historical fighters like SRR and SRL. But a little dude isn't going to do much. See the Marquez/Floyd fight. Floyd made a seriously amazing, great fighter look like absolute crap.

Triangle theories!!! Also JMM was a blown up lightweight fighting for the 1st time at welterweight AND floyd cheated him on the scales.

so, you wanted maidana after he lost every round vs devon, and you want him now that he is coming from 2 losses in a row? really badass dude keith thurman is. yeah, everybody is ducking.....

Yet he wants to jump straight back in with Manny Pacquiao in 2015.

Nahhh Thurman has too many KOs.

Edit: Also he didn't "want" Maidana, he already had him, but he pulled out of the fight. It wasn't like Guerrero for instance.

I need to see more from Thurman before I jump to the bandwagon.

He needs to fight legit contenders before running his mouth about Mayweathers etc. (points to Thurman for calling out these guys!!!)

But obviously you don't **** out the opposition that he has ****** out without being a good fighter. He seems to have it all, but im not super impressed yet. I need to see him against legit guys, like khan, Brook, Maidana or Alexander.

But Bundu really is a good opponent. he is not as bad as Americans make him to be occasionally. He has couple of good victories against ultratalented guys (Gavin). Bundu will test One Time I believe. Good night for boxing coming up!

Maidana, Guerrero and P.Malignaggi all ducked thurman

[bigjavi973]

Is Floyd all you think about? Give it a rest, man. Christ!

Dont bother. Fool does that even in a WLAD THREAD!!! Even said that im a floyd fan in the closet LMAO cuz I said that this is a heavyweight thread mayweather has nothing to do here. LMAO WHAT A DUMBASS!!!

This article is wrong, Maidana's team didn't turn down the fight because they didn't like the terms, they turned down the fight after they saw tape of Thurman. They were provided with 3 names to choose from and they selected Thurman because they had never heard of him, then after signing to fight, they got some tape of Thurman and pulled out of the fight. I posted an article on here before and you can find it by searching Maidana vs Thurman in the archives on this site. This was a legit duck it cannot be denied, and I don't expect to see this fight happening now that Maidana has the "not enough money" excuse.

For the record Thurman handles Maidana in the mid rounds with a body shot.

so, you wanted maidana after he lost every round vs devon, and you want him now that he is coming from 2 losses in a row? really badass dude keith thurman is. yeah, everybody is ducking.....

He also wanted guerrero and P. Malignaggi.... Any excuses for them?

[bigjavi973]

Keith should fight one eyed Margarito to get the Floyd fight it worked for Shane and Cotto.

Shane fought margacheato BEFORE pacquiao busted up his eye. Try again

[bigjavi973]

Very good fight, but not a guaranteed path to Mayweather. I would rather see Thurman challenge someone with a belt, like Brook @ 147, or Andrade @ 154.

[bigjavi973]

i really wish maidana would give broner a rematch but man would a maidana thurman fight be fun i dont know im sick of all these guys at 140 147 not fighting eachother tho there are so many good fights and yet none get made and they all say everyone is ducking

I would like that rematch and actually would favor broner in that fight.
