    I like Thurman but who has he beat? He's got great potential but he's isn't on mayweathers level.

    Khan has a better chance to beat Mayweather than Thurman.

    Thurman is slower than a turtle. Once he steps up he's finish.

    aside from Mayweather, who beats him @ Welterweight?
    Thurman fighting Khan would look like child abuse.

    If any young gun can stop Mayweather, it's Keith Thurman

    The guy is young, hungry & can do a number on anybody in Welter. It's a 50/50 fight, I favor Thurman cause time is on his side

    Thurman's win over Zavek won me over. Showed great poise for little experience to go with his power. Easily the hardest puncher at WW, and would be among top at LMW as well. His previous fight showed he's got a good chin also.

    Problem is GB has seemed to hold him back a bit as far as getting decent opponents. He could stand have his popularity built up a bit more with some wins over Ortiz, Guerrero, or the Judah/Malinaggi winner. If any WW outside of Pacquiao has a shot at Mayweather, I'd pick Thurman.

    One time is growing on me. Was having trouble with Chavez, got good advice from his corner, and followed it to turn the tide. never lost his head and went for the kill.

    thurman is too green at the moment. thurman needs a lot more experience in the ring before thinking of taking on a wise old wizard like floyd.

    Thurman gets dominated and loses all 12 rounds against Floyd. Floyd's experience alone will do him in.

    Sure thing a young Violent Puncher like Keith Thurman, is supposed to let an old brittle handed shoulder roller take over his division.

    How many employees/lackeys/aliases TMT has 20? The poll will not change the fact, that Thurman is the fight Mayweather can never take :deal

    Karass is a big Welter & the hardest stylistic fight possible for Keith Thurman, so I hope he wins by KO or KD enhanced decision otherwise he will get robbed. Mainly to stop him from ruininng the mega Million paydays ahead of the hasbeens :nono
