    I know a lot of you are not impressed by Keith but I am a believer. I have been since his debut on the Broner under card earlier this year.

    I think he beats Kirkland, K-9 and Angulo easy.

    I think he gives Canelo a run for his money and can possibly KO him.

    He destroys Demetrius Andrade.

    I only pick Molina, Lara, Vanes and Trout to beat him at 154 right now..

    Remember it only takes "one time" baby!!!

    I am big on Keith Thurman anybody else a believer?

    Him vs. Gabe Rosado could be interesting too.

    (Mayweather don't count because Floyd ain't never fighting him)

    vs. the best or vs. titlists?

    He can probably beat K9 or Baysangurov for their hardware.

    He doesn't have a prayer against Mayweather, Alvarez, Lara, Cotto & Trout.

    I'd favor the next tier down over him as well (Martirosyan, Kirkland, Molina, Angulo)

    His ceiling is beating the likes of D-Rod, La Amenaza, maybe Konecny...

    I'd advise Thurman to move down to 147lbs.

    I can see you are not on board the Thurman express yet.....but soon my friend soon.

    I know he is slow as molasses, but he has a great amateur record he has been boxing since he was 7 and damn he hits hard.

    I think Cotto, Angulo and Kirkland will not handle his power very well neither will Alvarez.

    Delvin has never really been that good, especially not at 154 and would get Ko'd easy. Robert Garcia does not impress me at all and neither does Lukas.

    The kid is better than people think in my opinion.

    you think so? he looks like a solid 154 Lbs guy I think.

    how tall is he 5'10 or 5'11 right?

    Andrade beat him in the Olympic trials. Andrade definitely has the size and speed advantage here.

    Big fan of Thurman though.

    Did not know that....interesting

    But their ain't no 16oz gloves and head gear in the Pros

    Abdulaev and Pinto both beat Cotto in the Ams and we all saw how those fights went.

    I have seen a couple interviews with Thurman where he says his ideal weight class at the moment would be 147lbs. I think it would also be his best move.
    Thurman would be a monster @welterweight.

    BTW I am in no way on the Thurman bandwagon, Matter of fact I had him catching a BEATDOWN by Quintana <~ yeah I ****ed up. :!:

    At 147

    They should feed him Andre Berto or Shawn Porter next.....

    If at all possible. That should be a good litmus test for him right about now

    I thought El Indio was going to school him too. Woops!

    The guy that fought Angulo was pretty damn good that would be a good fight for him too.

    Abregu vs Thurman is a Boxing After Dark headliner......the potential match ups are endless.

    Quintana is a risky pick against any puncher these days.


    He just can't avoid shots like he once could. (or take them)
