    keith ****ing thurman? ok **** this... i dont ****ing see it! I JUST DONT SEE IT...

    he needs to step up his lvl of opposition before i can even gauge his skills but what i seen in his last fight i was not impressed with, a bit sloppy and at times very off for a guy facing a weak champion. id love to see him face guerrero

    Guerrero only purpose of existance (in Welter) was to hand Floyd 40+ Million. for fighting a blown up Featherweight!

    Guerrero kinda gets it now, thats why he refused the offer to be Keith next pair of Drums :yep

    I read that Guerrero got spoiled by the big money he got from fighting Void, so he is waiting for a bigger payday.............

    Thurman is not the second best boxer in the world, no way...........

    He turned it down, because he knows exactly...What will happen if he faces a full fledged Welter Puncher.

    Come on be fair...No one ducks a fight he can win ;)

    Void has been ducking Pac for years. Void, Sr. admitted that he would never allow Void, Jr. to fight Pac, he said that right after Pac stopped Cotto. Styles make fights and Void knows it.

    #2 here means "the Shi**" in a good way :yep

    He is daddy in the Welter, if he starts causing credibility issues to the big names. They will burn him up in a fight where he will lose by Decision if he can't get the KO, another option is to offer him a big $ fight at 154lbs where the same result could be achieved

    Keith understands that he has to win every fight from now on by KO. Stay at 147lbs no matter what he gets offered at 154+ :deal

    Then you better be Guerrero himself, cause Guerrero knows himself best! Plus he is closer to GOD than most of us. So he must have been guided by the all knowing to skip this one :yep

    I agree. I mean how can you not, he's a trainer after all. That means he knows more than everyone else. Anyone who thinks fighters need to prove themselves in the ring against top opposition is a f*cking idiot. Here is my P4P list:

    1. Deontay Wilder
    2. Keith Thurman
    3. Gary Russell Jr
    4. Vasyl Lomachenko
    5. Anthony Joshua
    6. Genady Golovkin
    7. Jessie Vargas
    8. Tyson Fury
    9. Kell Brook
    10. Zou Shiming

    This list is irrefutable as I also consider myself a trainer. I regularly hold the focus pads for my girlfriend and that b*tch has got some pop.
