    Haney picks him apart.

    Thurman is for the most part retired.

    I wouldn't favor him over the top 5 at this point against anyone at JWW, WW or JMW. Now Thurman thru 2017, he'd melt Devin, that Thurman don't exist anymore though

    If Haney would agree to it at all it'd be at 140 to drain Keith's ghost as much as possible.

    Then superior fitness and reach advantage he pitter-patters away to a UD.


    At 147 Keith has a better chance, but he's still giving away a good 3 inches in reach and Haney's fitness is very likely still superior enough to win.

    We all know that despite being a fairly obvious outcome, Haney ain't taking it at any weight.

    Thurman pretty much looses to anyone in the top 10. He's yesterday's man and wasn't great to start with. Solid fighter, who relied on being an athlete with a very short prime. No disgrace but the likes of Haney would box him and win a straight forward UD.
