Has Thurman earned a top 10 P4P ranking?

[joseph5620]

These guys were already p4p. Fight fans are just conditioned to accept or believe things that, if they really thought about it, makes no sense.

Pretty much....

He has skills and a better resume than both. I have him at 6 or 7.

Thurman might literally be the 4th best welterweight right now. Manny, Brook, Bradley all have better wins then Thurman at 147. Many feel he didn't beat porter and Danny hasn't done jack at 147. And i didnt even add spence who people think is better and beats all these guys. Fact is when Floyd retired he left a huge void and a ton of free belts up for grabs. Thurman already got these empty belts because of politics but isn't close to filling the void. Thurman and a ton of other guys are in the mix to fill that void. Thurman needs to beat the winner of brook/Spence or beat Manny before he separates himself at 147 and then he will be in everyone's top p4p lists.

Brook doesn't have a better win but i think he's a better boxer. I would put him behind Spence too if we were just looking at skills.

I love Bradley but he's not p4p. Further, both Thurman and Garcia would beat him. And a few other welters. The Jessie Vargas win is decent at best. And the Marquez win was four years ago. Bradley is trending way down.

I don't understand why people keep putting Bradley on their p4p list. Bradley has done very little lately and certainly not enough at 147 to warrant this.


Bradley will not fight either Thurman or Garcia and would lose to both.

Did we watch the same fight? Thurman was trying to punch after getting hit while off balance and he does it quite often. What you mean he doesnt get clocked? Everyone gets hit. Yea bradley have better feet and upper body movement IMO.

How are you going to tell me for certain that Thurman a better boxer than bradley?

I don't think you actually understand what Thurman is doing when he does this.

Here's a hint:
It's the same reason why he at times finishes his combos with a jab.

There's a lot of good things Thurman does that people don't seem to recognize or give him credit for for whatever reason.

When I say clocked I'm talking about clocked like vs Provodnikov and Vargas. When did you see Keith last night get clocked like that while he was getting wild?

Almost nobody thinks Bradley beat Pacquiao so other than that what "better wins" does Bradley have at 147 over Thurman? Other than Porter who has Brook beaten?

Absolutely! Regardless if he is not scoring the KO's you want to see can't deny him Top 10 P4P especially when many have guys in their Top 10 P4P List who literally haven't fought ANYBODY!

[Rip Chudd]

Bradley's overall resume craps all over Thurman's.. remember Bradley has beaten champs in 2 weight divisions. Thurman would be hard pressed to move up to 154 and beat those champs

Overall, yes but again he has done nothing at welterweight and we are ranking welterweights. Bradley's welterweight resume is lacking of quality welterweights. An old Marquez is his best win. Not to crap on Marquez but that's it, Tim was fine making those Pacquiao paydays

[_original_]

Absolutely, 7-10 bracket.

[Lords]

100% he is top 10 only a fool would say otherwise.
