    Matthysse if he can handle the weight
    Pacman
    Mayweather

    IMO those are the biggest threats

    Not a bad list.

    I worry about Lucas though. His defense is Medicore at best (Sherman voice) Does he have a pounchers chance?? Of course but thats it. Thurman is a way better boxer and seeing what Molina did, hard for me to pick Matthysse to beat Thurman

    Lucas? Jesus, rofl.

    I'd be surprised if Lucas doesn't go down in the 1st round. He'd be bombed out by Thurman. Thurman hits way too hard and boxes way too well.

    Lucas's career at the top is effectively over. Garcia cracked that chin horribly.

    If Bradley doesn't brawl and just boxes like he did with Marquez, Bradley wins.

    Pac is proven to have a good chin. He was caught good by Marquez and a lot of people base it off on that, that he has no chin. On the other hand, Thurman is not tested and has never up to.date faced someone as fast and as a hard hitter as Pac. Like another poster said, Thurman is gun shy when you punch with him. Thurman is good no doubt about it but Pac, Floyd and Bradley are above him.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Marquez. So Marquez, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Bradley, Porter, and Provodnikov.

    Matthysse is better off at 140. At WW Thurman will Knock him out. And this coming from a Matthysse fan.

    Has shown he has a good chin by who?? The only time he got caught (when he fought somebody with a pulse) was JMM and he got dropped twice and hes 40 years old!! A Prime Thurman would bomb him out of there. Pac has better wins but im not sure if hes a better fighter now.

    JMM fight is intresting but if Thurman can fight like Bradley did (which i think he could) add 10 times more power and would be hard fight for JMM to win at 41 years old

    I wouldn't count his defense out just yet...
    Once he adapted (midway)Molina wasn't landing much unless he got lucky..
    I think you also have to ask yourself this when was the last time Thurman faced a offensive beast like Matthysse ?



    Psssh.. When matthysse's firing on all cylinders you need a gun to stop him :deal

    I agree we need to see how he handles the weight first but I wouldn't count him out being that Thurman was hurt by karass a guy with less skill and power then lucas

    Thurman is a promising young fighter, but he needs to earn his stripes. Hopefully he gets to fight a top 10 guy before the year is over.

    Its true, Matthysse has a punchers chance. but every fight you can say that. Thurman has a punchers chance and a boxing chance because he can box for 12 rounds if need be. When somebody can handle or have good defense and against Lucas power, Lucas ends up losing. Garcia took all punches, even one that KO his mouth piece and still didnt go down. now Thurman has been stunned so yet it again, its a punchers chance but Thurman is by far a better boxer

    I hope he fights at list 2 more times this year. I think Porter might happen if Kell Brook doesnt step up finally!

    I think Thurman is gonna be on the Canelo-Lara card, the boy is a beast. just got to get a fight

    still not sold on Thurman's Chin. He is an unknown commodity at this time.
