    Nah. Keith 'Uma' Thurman would lose to quite a few guys at Welterweight.

    Thurman is very good. He's got nothing for Floyd though. I'd like Maidana/Mayweather over Thurman/Mayweather

    Because Bradley legitimately defeated Pacquiao right? Or are you one of those
    Pac haters that insists that the outcome of the fight is legitimate because that was the official result? Like Pac couldn't dismantle Bradley

    :lol:

    I was thinking the same. Thurman is legit. Guy has good speed, power, skills, and defense. He got clipped early against SK, but made the adjustment and began dropping bombs. Not ready for Mayweather yet, but the clear next step is Maidana. Same card, same belt, both guaranteed action. Put it on the Mayweather undercard. Boom.

    Loses for sure:
    Mayweather, Bradley, Pacquiao, Marquez, Brook (and if he avoided trading Amir Khan)

    Not sure 50/50:
    Guerrero, Alexander, Porter, Maidana.

    the man is good, but you're overrating yet another fighter.

    he'll do well in the WW division, but he'll never be the best.

    I really want Mayweather to retire undefeated, That's why I am not pushing for Thurman vs Mayweather

    Mayweather wants Khan & the guy Khan defeated for 2014

    That's fine and dandy Mayweather is old and I don't mind him leaving undefeated, just don't be a lowlife about it and try to discount a perfect contender in Thurman

    He is the Alpha male of Welter, a role Hagler played in Middleweight...recognize that :boxer

    He is already the best :deal

    Khan got buzzed by a lightweight, never was a Welter. Maidana beat a lightweight and lost to Khan

    Keep up the BS & I will go out of my way, to oppose the 2014 Maydays :deal

    Thurman is the top Welter in boxing today, the public has no clue which is fine. however, if he wants he is a few interviews away from pressing for Maidana...few ppv buyers come here..so the lame Anti-Thurman BS only makes the keyboard mercenaries look lame.

    Mayweather, Bradley, Marquez, Pacquiao, Provodnikov, Porter, then, maybe Thurman. I actually think Guerrero beats him and Alexander, Alvarado and Brooks are maybes.

    But, as I said before, Thurman is a top welterweight. He can slug with any of them but I think he is outclassed by those listed above and probably KO'd by Marquez, Pacquiao and Provodnikov. Let's see how he does against Alvarado first and go from there. He is bigger than Provo and Alvarado but I think Provo busts him up pretty good. Alvarado may not be big enough.

    Natural Welter Alpha male...No blueprint :deal

    Lightweights can bang up each other all they want...Thurman owns everyone in welter

    The fact that you are talking about Thurman in the same breath as Hagler tells me you don't have a good grasp of Thurman's talent level.

    Andre Berto and Thurman have a common opponent in Jan Zaveck. Berto stopped him in 5. Thurman won by unanimous decision. That alone should tell you something.
