    Bradley can make a claim only knock on his resume is he can't beat Manny a all time great. Losing to Manny is no shame as basically everyone except Floyd has Ls to Manny. If Thurman fought Manny all those times except Bradley he would have multiple loses on his record. Bradley was on everyone list for a reason if you want to knock him low or off the list because of age and inactivity I'm cool. But dont compare him to danny thats just ******. Danny forfeited any p4p consideration when he got schooled by Herrera and hasn't done jack in almost 4 years since and was nothing but a paper champ at 147. Nobody talked about Danny as a serious p4p fighter in almost half a decade for a reason.

      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

        If Spence gets Brook outta there especially faster and in better fashion then GGG, he'll crack the top 10.


        its the 10 BEST fighters,, not 10 best resumes...

        You can't claim a guy to be p4p elite and then say well Spence would wreck him but he got a good resume..

        Plus, what's Thurman's dominant performance over a top guy.. all p4p guys have those

        Ward- froch, Dawson, Abraham, etc
        Kovolev- Hopkins, pascal twice
        Manny- too many to name
        Rigo- donaire
        Loma-walters
        Bradley-Devon, Peterson, Marquez, Vargas (except for the last red)
        Ggg- never struggled vs a guy like collazo or go 12 with bundu
        Canelo- cotto
        Crawford- postal


        Thurman has yet to beat a top level guy in clear dominant fashion like all the p4p guys

          Thurman to make p4p is gonna have to do what froch did and fight everyone and beat and stop most over many years.

            Is this a serious question? Thurman doesn't belong anywhere near the top 10. Gtfo

              He's fighting his first real opponent soon, so we'll know more about him after that.
              So you would take Thurman over Spence right now???

                Nah.

                I thought Porter beat him.

                I also have stated for years that Garcia should not be thinking about 147. He's very basic and too small, all the good fughters at 147 beat him comfortably.

                  If I had to bet money on the fight I'd bet on Thurman since he's the more proven fighter.

                  Does Spence look like he could be phenomenal? Definitely, he just hasn't really proven anything yet.

                      Then you go on to talk about Thurman's wildness. Do you know who Bradley is? That's the king of exchanging and getting wild. Do I need to point instances where this has happened? You talk as if you know your boxing so surely you know what I'm talking about, right?

                      The difference is Thurman knows how to get wild and minimize the punches he takes while Bradley doesn't. When have you seen Thurman get wild and get clocked like Bradley has? Last night would be a good example to look at.
                      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?
