thurman is shook after the guerrero fight, you guys aint heard he aint all about knockouts no more and he has to take his career slow lmfao

If you think Thurman chin and stamina will be a factor for him...Bradley and especially Pacquiao he better NOT get in the ring with!!!!

Well, if I felt like Pacquiao was the same fighter now as he was in 2010 I would agree but I don't, so I don't.

Tim Bradley has very little chance against a true welterweight who can punch and move. He'd get beaten up by Thurman. His stamina is not the best anyway. He fades in a lot of his fights too.

Pacquiao is Pacquiao, but he's old and should consider retiring relatively soon imo. he'd get badly hurt against someone like Brook or Thurman.

Before you give me abuse just hear me out. I just rewatched his fight with Diego Chaves and although I personally feel that was his toughest fight and best performance (as he adjusted very well) he was getting caught and was very sloppy at times. This might work against most opponents with his power but this is the guy you fans think can trouble and even beat Mayweather? "Are you serious?". Mayweather would see those punches coming all day. Chaves has a 66" reach and was catching Thurman and Mayweather has a 72" reach, that is just asking for trouble. I see Floyd outboxig the crap out of him. Numerous Mayweather opponents>Thurman. Canelo is a tougher fight that Thurman and look what Floyd did to him.

He definitely has power but most of his power comes from him winging his punches. He's definitely top 10 at worst but I favour Brook, Maidana, Pacquaio and Bradley all over him. My man Matthysse wants to move up next year and Thurman is an inch taller but has the same reach (69") and they both tend to weigh the same on fight night (157). I honestly believe that is a perfect fight for Lucas. Chaves got him on the ropes and hurt him with body shots and Matthysse has some of the best body shots in boxing. He's also a boxer puncher and I'm confident he hits harder than Thurman. (Judah, Alexander, Corley have said he hits the hardest out of their opponents).

Just my opinion. Have a nice, productive day people

Chaves fight: http://********/vtdAVByJ8dQ

Chaves fought his guts out in that fight. He was an undefeated up and comer like Keith was and he came to win. Chaves has skills and is no slouch himself. It was a tough fight for Keith and the toughest one I've seen him in to date. But as you admitted Keith adjusted and started putting in on Chaves mid way through the fight.

I don't know (or really think) he could beat Mayweather but it would he refreshing to see Mayweather fight a young skilled boxer. Something we don't get to see too often.

You may be right about the Pacquiao opinion. Im a big fan of course so i still believe he has a lot in the tank still. I sure dont judge it by his last fight. If Manny can throw 80+ a round Truman will be in trouble.

As for Bradley...He is a force for someone who may have a stamina problem. He will make Thurman fight every second. Tough call on that one.

But with Lawsuits now in play we can forget ever seeing many great fights and fighters get together

100% there's no question Pacquiao is a better fighter than Thurman when he's on form. Get me 2009 Pac vs thurman and he wouldn't see the full 12 for sure. I don't know I just think big punches have taken their toll on Pacquiao ever since the Margarito fight really . He was shaken up after that fight.

Yeah but Bradley is not powerful enough to hurt a natural WW so stamina is less of an issue in that fight. I feel Thurman would be able to box comfortably behnd the jab for the full 12 if he needs to.

Thurman was getting tagged by Diaz before he decided to quit,when Thurman hit him with a body shot he didn't even wince. Berto and Aydin are/were nothing special and SK was last seen getting out boxed in a BKB pit by some obscure window washer.

Didn't that punch break Diaz's rib and end the fight? that was what was said post-fight.
