    thurman isnt mentioned(straw man he is mentioned) because his resume isnt as good. pretty simple really. nice conspiracy theories though alex jones. so if top rank is running this site i guess pbc is running you?
    Lemule is an actual bum who has not beaten anyone that is relevant. So is Jacobs. The only reason these guys get hyped is because they fought GGG. Same as how Monroe got hyped after losing to GGG, and Stevens, and all those other bums.

    Jacobs literally has beaten any world champions, and that is the guy GGG struggled with. He hasn't been a world champion either and has been knocked down by bums and has a KO los. He is like the Amir Khan of 160.

    Canelo is a good name, but GGG got outboxed for large spells of that fight and fought to a draw.

    So what really is special about this guy? Beating bum Lemule? Robbing bum Jacobs? Drawing with junior middlweight Canelo?

      I respect his desire to unify. He just doesn't fight often enough. Porter and Garcia are good wins. Spence would look real good on his resume. It just takes so long for some of these PBC guys to get in the ring. WW could have been unified long ago.

        To me, Thurman looks to be a front runner that hasn't yet met the opponent that can drown him in the later rounds. He shows this tendency vs anyone who can take his power shots for the first 5 rounds. He goes into cruise control because he tires. Porter was too wild to take advantage of a tired Thurman and garcia was too inactive. Sharpshooters with stamina such as Spence or Crawford would beat him up late in the fight imo.
        Crawford hasn't fought anyone to draw such a conclusion.

              Hopefully Thurman's body holds up. It's not necessarily his fault that he's often getting injured.

                He'll fight somebody at the level of a Garcia what a boring fight that was right off the top of my head he won't beat Spence, he won't beat Crawford

                  those guys are at least as good but just because they arent american stars with american ty hype means they arent world level? indongo ko'd a reigning champ. garcia beat guerrero who lost like 7 of 8 fights to become champ hmmm. ae we also forgetting how terrible he looked against herrera and peterson. you are thinking of gacia as the guy who beat matthysse controversially and khan but that was a long time ago. hes at ww now and has looked rubbish for years. speaking of peterson hes the guy that diaz was completely robbed against. porter and garcia have name value cause they beat guys like broner and guerrero but i dont think they were as dangerous.
                  Welters have been a weak division for years. When people mention Collazo, Guerrero and Garcia as notable wins at 147 , l just gotta shake my head and replay some Ike Quarte wars.

                      The way he uses rankings for fighters he likes and disregards them for fighters he doesn't is hilarious.

                      Slates Ortiz (#2), Baldomir (#1), Guerrero (#2), Judah (#3) and whoever else.

                      "David Lemeiux??!?!! He was ranked #3!!!!!"
