Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Need To Eliminate Brook or Garcia To Be Best at 147

He beats them all dude. Bradley was up to 185 before the Provo fight, completely depressed and had to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks just to make weight. He still made Provo look like rubbish for 90% of the fight.

He dogged Vargas out for 11.75 rounds, the kid landed one solid shot and Bradley was fine seconds later.....keep wishing. The only guy that beat him was Pac. These wannabe divas over at PBC are millenniums away from being on Pac's level. They would get embarrassed.

That we agree on. Bradley is good but he tends to go FULL RTARD at times. He fought JMM PERFECTLY. And then tries and KO's Pac??? He has lapses of ******ationish too many times! And I'm sorry but Vargas hurt him. We'll never know though because some POS old FKN ref. can't hear for sht!

I still think Garcia beats Bradley. That Left hook will catch TB all night.

Thurman has started to believe his own hype.

I like the dude but he starting to sound a little bit like Amir Khan sometimes.

He has a real fight with Porter to focus on first, if he wins that convincingly then people will start to take him very seriously at 147.

One Time is right.

He needs to beat Porter and then either Danny or Brook. Then he can make the claim that he's the best 147 pounder.

But even then, the guy he hasn't fought (out of Danny or Brook) is going to be saying he's the best too. Tim Bradley will be saying "what about me" as well.

Really getting tired of Thurman talking now. He needs to back it up in the ring with performances.

Thurman wants the easy fights, he knows Garcia is the weakest link out of the bunch. He also knows that Brook will never risk fighting him so he mentions his name as well.

I'd love for them to make Garcia-Bradley. Danny Boy would look like a janitor compared to Timmeh.

How the fk can u call Danny the weaklink when he is the only one of them that is a proven fighter (EDIT: Except Bradley), also he has one of the best resumes in boxing, and no matter what happened in the Herrera and Peterson fights, but Mayweather was also in alot of very close fights but he remained undefeated.

Brook, Bradley and Spence (if he continues to improve) are the only ones that i think can beat Garcia, maybe Porter if he wins vs Thurman, which im hoping he will, cause other then Thurmans Power he doesnt impress me.

But calling Danny the weaklink is so wrong, yes i agree he is cherrypicking as of late, and i want him to fight better opposition, it doesnt make sense why he would take these latest fights against pillowfist punchers cause Danny has a good chin.

Many fans and insiders feels that the winner of the upcoming Keith Thurman (26-0) versus Shawn Porter (26-1) showdown will be the best welterweight in the world. Logic suggests that both combatants would also agree with that theory and would want to be able to stake claim to mantle (in the welterweight division at least) that Floyd Mayweather left open with his retirement.

Great call from Thurman, he is correct. Not a huge Keith fan, I do like him, just not 100% sold..... but if he backs up that talk things could change.

Bradley beats Thurman, Porter and Garcia. They won't mention him even though Arum is allegedly going to be working with Hymen doe.

Wouldn't be surprised at all.

Problem is, Tim ruled himself ineligible..... so, he will have to take some responsibility for that. Bradley admitted that due to "boxing politics" (e.g. HIM choosing to sign with Top Rank) it is highly unlikely that he will ever face the top welters.

And Arum only started " working " with Haymon about 3 minutes ago..... until then, nobody had any idea if/when future fights would be on the table.

I could be wrong, but I think that Arum will keep Tim in-house for a little longer..... there isn't a huge upside with Tim so Bob will save him for his guys.

Promising guys like Loma/Zurdo may be let off the leash a little.

Danny Garcia is #1 until he's beaten. He has the best resume and has ZERO losses. Thurman is good but I still can't get over the fact how Guerrero weighing at LEAST 15-20 lbs less kept making Thurman back up almost that entire fight.

Garcia doesn't hold a win over a top welter, so I find it hard to rank him in the top5 currently.....

In a perfect world..... I think that Bradley/Garcia should fight next..... the Porter/Thurman winner should fight the Brook/Vargas winner..... and the winner of that bout should fight the Bradley/Garcia winner.

Keith is right, there are too many variables, and too many unanswered questions..... welterweight is hot but stagnant, until some of these fights actually happen nobody should be given top spot.
