    Thurman has a definite chance

    Hes a BIG welterweight and he probably won't fight as foolishly as Canelo did

    If he bullies Mayweather he can win

    I still like Mayweather in this fight though

    Most Welterweights not named Pac or Floyd are "big" Welterweights (10 pound+ weight gains) - which is actually fairly typical.

    Brook & Khan are bigger LOL (~160 fight night)

    Alexander looks about the same size maybe a tad taller (157 pounds fight night which is what Thurman normally comes in at)

    Porter Maidana Bradley all up in the 156+

    Nothing between them really but height and reach differences.

    Thurman can't beat floyd, he's not fast enough, he's too wild and his punches aren't straight. His feet are not fast enough, his boxing skills are not great, his reach and height prob similar. The only advantage Thurman has over floyd is power and we know Floyd takes a good shot if he has to but I doubt Thurman catches him at all.

    i think thurman has more power and speed, and hits very sharp.

    thurman is a sharp puncher and can pull off some very nifty punches from different angles, like the uppercut against karass. and the left hand hook from a southpaw/ neutral stance against leonard bundu, he basically ducked leonards shot and came back swinging and dropped bundu is very tough. Hes also a very unforgiving body puncher.

    Really?

    What makes you say that?

    I believe that Thurman has fought at 154 before where as Khan was fighting at 140

    The weight of them all are where i've just stated. No weight advantage between them.

    The only difference is you might classify Thurman as more of a "natural Welter" which is what he means when he says Khan isn't a Welterweight. Bradley, alexander, Maidana, Khan all came from 140 as you say.

    I'll take your word on it

    It just seems that Thurman is much stronger than Khan which would be good for bullying Mayweather similar to how Maidana did

    I dont think he will fight him exactly the same. but one time hits harder than maidana and faster, but has the same unorthodox angles.

    going off fighters that had been in the ring with both chino and onetime, they ALL say they both hit real hard but chino has more real one punch ko power.

    karrass said chino hit much harder but he could be FOS about much harder. I think they both hit hard, onetime more technical yet at the same time onetime telegraphs every shot horribly.

    chino challenged onetime to fight him next, didn't end up being a fight onetime wanted. I think that would be so fan friendly and a fight casuals would love.

    onetime would be very dangerous but I would pick chino by mid to late tko

    Thumans power seems to have less effect against top fighters which sometimes happens when u are ko average fighters people get carried away. Dont think he is the monster punchets some make out. And floyd beats him easy as floyd does any ww and most lmw. I actually think andrade would be problems for floyd because of his size and rangy style and power

    He can't fight in the pocket, his fight with The Ghost showed that.
