    I apologize.

    What I'm trying to say is, are there really that large of degrees separation between the second tier guys?

    By second tier I mean, Bradley, Khan, Brook, and Thurman?

    It seems to me that those guys are looking for the golden ticket bout with Mayweather, or even Pac, which is very understandable.
    I think Bradley is second tier (just below may/pac) and then I'd say Brook and Khan is in the same boat. Maybe a fit Maidana...maybe, MAYBE Porter. But thurman ain't even in that 3rd tier lool There's a huge gap in terms of skill and achievement between those guys and thurman.

    I'm not a devoted critic, I just like taking the piss. Just look at the butthurt flowing from the "fans" here...some actually think Thurman was doing well after getting clocked when even the hardcore arse licking pair of Atlas and that WWE guy were finding it hard to spout Thurman's positives.

    if it hurts you that much, don't read my thread.

        I'm from "across the pond" and I like Danny Garcia, Mikey (though he's an idiot for leaving Arum), Hopkins, Donaire, Bradley (in fact, Bradley has becomeo ne of my faves in recent years).

        So try again butthurt fan.



        STFU, yall were saying he would stop Pacman, he would destroy Khan, brook and anyone not named Mayweather. Yall were saying he would be the perfect opponent for Mayweather.

        Thurman was hurt, retreating and disorientated and barely throwing punches by the end of the fight...he's lucky Collazo is a quitting bum. Khan handled Collazo with dam nease. Get off Thurmans nut.

        POS.

        I knew this would happen which is why I made this thread, all of you getting hurt like I'm ****ing your mothers.

        Like I always says: Be a fight fan, not a fighter fan.

        Maybe you'll be able to handle it better next time.
        And we won't know the results until he actually fights these opponents. Lol @ this guy. I love how he gets mad

            I think Thurman is doing fine. It's hard for the WW because they have two ATG/HOF in the division. If anything you want fighters who have vulnerabilities it makes for interesting and exciting fights. Mayweather UD Pac UD/TKO if he turns back the clock. The rest at ww are good fights for Thurman IMO.

                Lmao
                Yeah watched them both... See them both as vulnerable action fighters that will win some, lose some, but always be in exciting dramatic fights??

                  Every once in awhile, an envy fueled thread gets the better of a poster. Tsk tsk.

                    Thurman is developing. He's got a lot of great technical skills and IMO he showed Collazo the business. He's certainly not an ATG yet, and I think fans got ahead of themselves in rating him up. I think he makes for a lot of 50/50 pick-em fights against other welterweights like Khan, Bradley and Brook.

                      Bradley v Thurman is not 50/50. It's a Bradley win.
