    Has Thurman earned a top 10 P4P ranking?

    Without a doubt imo. He's coming off back to back signature wins over two prime, top level opponents in Porter and Garcia and holds 2 of the 4 belts in arguably the best division in the sport. In addition to wins over Porter and Garcia, he's got an underrated win over Chaves, as well as solid veterans like Collazo and Guerrero.

    He's now officially a battle-tested, proven elite fighter.

    I'd rank him somewhere between 8-10 P4P.

    There is certainly a legit argument to be made. I'd have to think through my list some more but it's fair to put him in the top 10.

      If resume of the fighters would be the only criteria for me, Keith Thurman would be there. Skillwise, I think that Mikey Garcia or Usyk are more dominant against decent level of opposition. Keith Thurman is basically #11 in my p4p list

        If they were the same weight Thurman would own them.

          Some nice wins in undefeated Diego Chaves, Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia.

          Too inactive though, with filler material like Diaz, Collazo, Guerrero, Karass etc.

          If he makes it, then it's in the lower half like #8 - #10.

          Talent not in dispute though, exceptional boxer.

            That's your opinion and they're not the same weight. What if Mayweather was heavyweight. You can't even bring that **** up, Keith Thurman would have different style if he was in another weight class

              Its hard enough putting him into the top 5 in his own division, even harder to put him top 10 p4p. Nothing against him but the top welter weights haven't been fighting each other yet until this year, maybe by the end of the year we will have an answer.

              This year is an amazing year to be a boxing fan! A lot of big exciting fights are going down!

                Yes for sure. Him and Danny were both top 15.

                    **** no.
                    He lost to Porter and couldn't even beat Garcia half as convincingly as Herrera did.
