    He could be a star if he fights the right opponents

    I saw him on Ringside last night being interviewed, he came across really well. Warming to him inside and outside the ring.

    I really like Thurman.

    I can't help feeling as it's you though constable that you think he might end up fighting manny, because if you thought he might fight floyd you'd label him a bum.

    Everything does with you.

    Anyway Thurman is a good fighter and I think he'll do well, reminds me of James Franco in spring breakers :lol:

    what really impresses me about him is that he has his head screwed on and is willing to fight anyone:yep

    He is getting better but I have issues with his balance and punch resistance that combined can spell a disaster.

    Pretty much. Somehow, Rios is better than Guerrero and Maidana. :patsch

    I wouldn't. Pacquiao has a great legacy and is a great fighter. Rios and Algieri are bad fights but I give him a pass on Rios since it was a tune up. You don't have to falsely elevate Rios and Algieri because they don't harm Pacquiao's legacy.

    Anybody who makes Rios and Algieri out to be great victories are just fanboys. There's a reason he's taken on weak opposition in Macau when trying to open up a new market. Same reason Danny Garcia was supposed to have a soft touch in Herrera when spreading his name in Puerto Rico.

    And why do you keep comparing them to Guerrero and Ortiz?

    I like Kieth.....shows a lot of improvement every time I see him. I also like his attitude....he is dangerous but also has a a lot of defensive liabilities which makes him interesting to watch especially when he faces someone that is a top fighter which he hasn't done yet. I'm interested in a good match up with someone who compliments his style....Marcos Miadana would be a very interesting match up. Sure fire works and they are both aggressive. The experience goes to Marcos but the power Kieth has makes the fight really interesting. Toss up for me but that's a great fight any way you dice it.
