    What kind of style do you think would be able to beat Keith Thurman? I think someone with a good jab, power, and counter-punching ability would be able to beat him.

    Zaveck and Chaves were both able to counter Thurman at times. As a result, I would pick Lara to beat him at 154.

    Well obviously Floyd beats him. And yes you are correct, Lara beats him also.

    Pac still might be too much for him, but Thurman brings more to the table the punching bag known as Rios, so I'm not certain.

    I'm not sure about Thurman-Canelo, but I do know that Thurman is a bigger threat to Canelo than that sloth Angulo.

    Lara beats Thurman because he has decent power and good counter-punching ability.

    Also, Thurman is hittable. Chaves landed 44% of his power punches against Thurman in the first round of their fight.

    Angulo dropped Lara 2x. Imagine what happens when Thurman lands on Lara's chin just 1 time

    I think Bradley would probably out-hustle Thurman. I haven't seen Thurman in the ring with a slick fighter yet.

    Maidana,
    Lucas, berto, Pac, Mayweather. Any 154'er.

    I'm not sure if I'm sold on Bradley beating Thurman.

    Sure, Tim looked good against Marquez, but JMM is old and at this point his feet are stuck in mud.

    Bradley is still a very proud, and brawl happy fighter.

    I could see Bradley exchanging with Thurman, and not coming out good for that.

    Thurman without QUESTION has the power to put Bradley in a world of trouble.

    It's a good matchup though. I'd like to see it.

    Yeah, I'd give Maidana a good chance, too. Like I said, Thurman isn't hard to find, and Maidana hits like a mule.

    Thurman is also a bit of a slow starter.

    Honestly, possibly DGC in a rematch.

    I would love to see them go at it again.

    He was doing really good. They are pretty evenly matched.
