    Thurman weighed 162 Saturday night. There is nothing wrong with this fight. Neither guy can land a fight in his division regardless.

    Thurman isn't getting Floyd, Pac, Bradley, Khan or Brook so how high is his ceiling at 147?

            Thurman avoids that fight; high risk, low reward. I got Lara taking that quite easily. I like Thurman, but he still has some work to do on certain aspects of his game. A guy like Lara who can box, has good speed, and can hit will give Thurman problems. If Guerrero was a bit more quick on his feet and had power at 147 he could have made it competitive. Lara has that and more.

                170.5 against Smith is a pretty big rehydration for Lara compared to his other fights. Around that weight he starts to become closer to MW territory. I'd say he might start be getting too big to go down to 147 comfortably at this point.

                  I doubt this fight will happen, but I'd certainly watch it if it did. I'd take One Time by disputed sd.

                    I never actually bothered to watch that fight, so I didn't realize he got that big. I just remember he's been at 160 in some fights.

                      By his own admission, Lara's a big JMW. During the Angulo fight Schaeffer told Lara he wasn't allowed to weigh above 164lbs. He has a frame almost identical to Marvin Hagler's.

                      It's nearly been a week since Cuba's Erislandy Lara defeated Alfredo "El Perro" Angulo in Carson, California; when Angulo refused to continue in the tenth round. Now the new WBA interim super welterweight world champion talks to BoxingScene.com about some of the things that happened before and after the fight with Angulo. "First, I want to explain that a person came to us and told us clearly that on fight night I couldn't get into the ring with more than 10 pounds over the weight limit of our division. For that reason, we only went up to the limit of 164 pounds, but we were surprised that Angulo weighed 174 pounds that night, indicating to us that the 10 pounds limit was only for Erislandy Lara. We had no written clause to talk about this weight limit, but they told us that and we followed this instruction," Lara said.
