      Thurman is a very good welterweight but it's hard to tell how good because I don't think he has fought a legit top 10 welterweight the way Khan did in fighting 10th ranked Alexander. It might not be his fault if the better welterweights refuse to fight him. Khan thinks he is now this special elite fighter who only Pacquiao and Mayweather are worthy of fighting. But Khan isn't as highly regarded as he thinks and is usually rated between 4th and 7th best welterweight in the world. Khan needs a backup win to his impressive win over the 10 best welterweight in the world. Khan needs a win over a Bradley or a Thurman but he won't do that. Thurman against Bradley would be hard to make because Bradley is with Top Rank. That leaves Porter, Brook, Guerrero and Maidana as top 10 opponents he could fight if Guerrero is still top 10. I hope he fights one of them soon. Thurman should leave 154 alone because that's not his weight and it's a strong weight class. For sure he would get his ass kicked by Lara.

        lol you think Quintana is Thurman's best win?

        Honestly, I knew you didn't know much about boxing, but this thread has opened my eyes, your knowledge of the sport is worse than I thought.

              he got exposed by a 40 year old italian.

              his upside/ceiling need to be re calibrated.

              he's not an elite athlete either. you can clearly see that.

                  he wasnt saying it was murderers row.

                  he was just correcting the incorrect information from your post.

                    In what way? what area of athleticism is he deficient in?

                      That Team Thurman had a catch weight at 152 since Thurman is a welterweight.
