    Thurman vs Tim(no socks) Bradley, who wins? I think that Thurman is being vastly over hyped. I know Thurman has power, but I would like to see him against a fast fighter with good defense.

    Provo was very close to getting Bradley out of that arena on numerous occasions when Bradley was fighting Provo's style of fighting. As soon as he fought his own fight it was an easy fight (points wise). Bradley is too smart to go to war again. So i dont see Thurman winning as he could not box with Bradley.

    I'd pick Thurmsn as of right now. I think he's too big for Bradley, and Braley's lack of power won't do anything for him

    Thurman was Bradleys' mandatory before the split of GBP and HBO so it never happened and as long as Bradley fights for Arum it never will. Thurman has the power to KO Bradley and the skills to out box him. ..... Thurman sends desert storm Bradley packing sand.

    Bradley went toe to toe with Prov and beat Pacman and Marquez. How is that gay?

    Thurman hasn't beaten anyone yet only a face first journeyman. Thurman hasn't even beaten a fighter on Abregus level. After he does that can you say he'd be a threat to Bradley or any 147 elite. Hasn't proven himself yet.

    Thurman doesn't need to go through anybody for Bradley. He can eliminate the middle man and go straight through Bradley's ass.

    By middle man, you mean real contenders? :lol:

    Of course, who needs to beat a real contender to be given a shot at the top fighters, right? There is no need to beat real competition, lets cut out the "middle man" (real contenders,) and have them go from can crushing, to championship fights!! :patsch

    Why haven't you gotten into the fight business? You've got a real knack for this stuff dude.

    Bradley. Thurman would take a couple rounds but that's likely to be all even on his best day.

    Ortiz and Guerrero, **** opponents, I agree. However, Guerrero was the mandatory, so it's understandable. Ortiz, well just a horrible choice.

    Canelo was a good choice. Everyone was clamoring for that one, saying Mayweather was ducking him, this was definitely the fight everyone was clamoring to see. Anyone calling that a cherry pick is just hating.

    Actually Abregu wouldn't be a bad choice. Solid all around boxer not flashy, but very upset minded guy. Thurman I give the benefit of the doubt, he's a two fisted fighter and has good footwork. Knows when to box and when to go for the kill, tho he does get alil hook crazy at times, but he's been a crowd pleaser so far. A fight between these 2 would boost either one of their careers and do good. Another Argentinian assassin or American hopeful would emerge. I can see Thurman winning by competitive UD, but if he doesn't bring his A game Abregu can make him look beatable or very bad. Just cuz Bradley beat Abregu doesn't mean Thurman will do the same. Abregu can be just as hungry as Thurman.
