    At end of the fight, Thurman's face would like Carmen Basilio's face in SRR Fight2; or Curtis Cokes' face in both of the Napoles' fights. In short, not very pretty.

    Armstrong is rolling his grave for you even asking this question.

    I think Thurman may be the best welter in the world, but its premature to pit him against Hank at the moment ,imo.

    Completely agree. Excited to see where Thurman takes his career, but it's hard to predict this matchup without a fuller picture.

    If I had to guess now, I would pick Armstrong, as he's the much safer pick. They're both really game fighters.

    I like Thurman, but, am not even sure he would beat Kell Brook. (I think he would be the underdog with Brook). I sure as hell haven't seen anything from Thurman that makes me think he has a chance against Armstrong.
