Comments Thread For: Guerrero Doubts Thurman is Ready For Mayweather

[Bep3373]

LMAO... You *****s are too funny. You talking about who "retired" for two years because there were names beside Manny who he avoided. You know, Paul Williams, Cotto, Shane, Magarito, Clottey, Rematch with Oscar and any other TOP WW from the time he "retired." His first fight after he comes off his "retirement" is a LIGHTWEIGHT(135lb) JMM. Those are fights real boxing heads would've love to see. But hey, "TBE" fought Carlos Baldormir and Judah(I went to that fight) who came off two losses(But Manny has to take care of his 2 L's... JMM and Bradley before he can fight "TBE"). Smh.

Lmao you must be drunk...PAC had all demands and debated drug testing he blew that ...floyd wanted to fight cotto arum thought cotto wasn't ready...same with Shane ..Hoya stepped up after years of Floyd wanting it ...clottey I won't even entertain that joke ...margacheato I would have agreed if he wouldn't have been caught cheating and got destroyed by old Shane 11 months later he was dominated by Floyd and then after that Ko by cotto ...stop the bs ...Paul Williams I thought was way overrated but the only one I don't have an opinion on winner ...Shane beat up twice by Vernon who is a weaker version of Floyd ...PAC is the biggest cherry picker in history ...he fights guys who were old when Floyd fights them (this is what haters say) rios off loss, the swimsuit model , and pillow punching bradley ...maidana or canelo beats anyone PAC has probably ever fought stop the bs...even Marquez says he's the best and didn't want the fight at any weight ...please stop the shhhhh

Thurmon would get picked off by Floyd all night, Mayweather would just boss the fight with his jab, it'll end up looking like the Canelo fight, he's too wild for Floyd and is there to be hit too often.

He's a good fighter and deserves credit for his win last night, but he's still not on Mayweathers level.

[PunchyPotorff]

after may 2 he can do what the hell he wants.. the guy is pushing 40..all these up n comers can fight each other, floyd is done proving himself after he whoops manny .. hes the king of our era. and this will be official in a few months. why should thurman risk getting embarrassed when he can wait after the floyd ,manny era and then take over the division. .theres always gonna be some guy out there who people say is dangerous for floyd. .he beats thurman, then its brook, then its porter..etc etc after may 2..nothing left to prove

Typical Floydie fan-bwaaaay. Defend your boss, no matter the cost, eh?
HA

Too bad Floydie ducked a bunch of em til they were past their prime. But of course you don't recognize that FACT.

No, it doesnt go for all champs. Golovkin can fight 20 tomato cans in a row and people will make thread about how hes the greatest middleweight and a beast. Pac can fight Algieri and Rios and get a free pass, people will claim he is a beast. Floyd is held to higher standards than all the other fighters in the last 20 years, wake up dude.

Floydie's the one saying he's the ATG. If he keeps blaring that around any and everywhere, then yeah, he needs to be held to a higher standard. Comes with the territory.

-----------------------------------------------
As for Thurman, he won vs a guy who for whatever reason didn't do what he's best at - inside fighting. And like many here have said, Thurman has several liabilities that IMO negate to some extent his assets. He isn't ready for Floydie yet, and probably won't be before Floydie retires.

Now you watch... Floydie picks Thurman next after the Pac fight.
HA!

I want to see Marquez and Thurman, but it will never happen.

what past prime fighters are you talking about ?

Floyd begged for years to get a DLH fight, this is the exam reason why he left Top Rank.
Floyd begged many times for a Mosley fights but Mosley had "tooth problem"

Marquez was old but still good enough to light out Pac

Maidana, Alvarez, Guerrero, Ortiz, Hatton, Judah, Castillo, Corrales, Augustus, Hernandez were are young fighters near or at their prime.

The one I can give it to you is Cotto, but Arum said numerous time he wasnt ready for FLoyd.

Then there is Pac, but Pac refused a 50-50 split in his ultimate prime over drug tests he requested later after getting crushed by Marquez against Rios.

And if you still dont agree with me, then Pac is way worse, considering he fought Mosley, DLH, Hatton, Marquez all at a certain point after Floyd.

[Carpe Diem]

Cotto and Maidana have a body attack that's one dimensional, which is the left hook that Mayweather is able to pick off with his right. Thurman uses both hands and attacks the midsection very well, that's gonna slow an already aging Mayweather and I have no doubt Thurman will land there quite frequently. Whether that's enough for him to win is another story but it's a very dangerous fight still.

I don't know about that. If Floyd is standing in a wide/square stance, then it's easy to dig through his midsection with body punches. Thurman likes to drop his hands and jumps in a wild at times. I just can't picture him beating Floyd unless father time finally catches up to, Floyd. Thurman has yet to fight someone who can quickly anticipate his rhythm the way Floyd is capable of doing. If Floyd stays in his Philly shell stance and use his jab to control the fight; I don't see how he can lose unless you think Thurman can outbox him. The only way that I can see Floyd losing is if he let Thurman get off first and not able to counter him, but it's hard to do that against Floyd unless you're able to get him out of his comfort zone and make it a rough/dirty fight. Thurman has raw punching power on both hands and versatility, but he'd have to force Floyd to slug it out in order to win.

[Weebler I]

Golovkin is fighting crap, if his division is that bad then move up like all the other atg did. Name me any atg in the last 25 years I'll show you a guy who moved up in weight to get bigger fights. If GGG wants to waste his career staying in the same division, that's not my problem

Are we going to act like Golovkin didn't sign to fight Chavez? Hasn't been chasing Froch for a fight? wasn't in negotiations to fight Kessler? They offered Rodriguez a fight in 2013, told Ward to send them an offer just recently.

There's a difference between not being able to get the fights, and deliberately not taking them like some fighters.

[Class Act]

TBE will humiliate this "One Time Direction".

[TheSwiftAsSa5in]

No one will be ready for Merryweather.

why are people talking about GGG's tomato can fighting self in here?
