    Keith Thurman is 7 feet tall and consumes his enemies with fireballs from his eyes and lightning bolts from his arse.

    You better not duck him, son.

    So Bradley and Pac would get ko`d but Broner would have trouble? As in he should be able to win but itll be tough? He wont ko paulie,judah or guerrero but "box them up"?

    You sound biased as fcuk!

    keiths a good fighter. he seems to have problems defensively. but what he lacks in that department, he makes up in offense.

    I think Thurman is the future of the division. Id love to see him face off against Garcia in `15 which could be a great fight. Looking ahead i could see a super fight between him and Errol Spence in a couple years.

    I think he`ll get better defensively as he gains experience. He`ll soon learn to commit more to defense and not just rely on offense.

    Why the Fu*k would I be trolling? The Hatton fight was a BIG PAYDAY for Luis.

    No way in hell Thurman bring a quarter of that kind of money.

    As Mayweather says, IT'S CALLED PRIZE FIGHTING, YOU FU*KING DUMMY!:tong

    So everyone saying he's good and is the future of the division, do u all recognize that similar things have been said about other fighters?

    Matthysse for example, was being touted quite highly here, and everyone wound up eating crows feet for it?

    Are u guys still confident about saying Thurman is the future of the division (honest question)

    Can't wait for Floyd 50-0 (KO 27) to retire, so we can have Keith Thurman officially the Undisputed king of Welterweight

    Thurman is a good young fighter that still needs more seasoning. If you stand in front of him, you are in for trouble. It remains to be seen how he would handle a slick boxer that won't let him set up easily. I would like to see him fight Paulie. To me, that's an interesting fight.

    Not to mention Lacy, Bute and Broner. You can never be 100% confident until they've stepped up and proven themselves but Thurman looks better than most around his age and division.
