Thurman>Diaz/porter>Alexander>Maidana/mayweather Triangle theories are applicable in this case because all fighters were in and around their prime.
In that case so did Pacquiao's: Pacquiao > Rios /Alvarado > Prescott > Khan > Diaz/Porter > Alexander > Maidana/ Mayweather
Thurman need to beat Porter, Maidan and Mathysse for his stock to catapult. Thurman would Demolish Alexander.
Hans, I know you are trying to boxrec a way to make brook look better via triangle theory but it's just not possible! He's fought too low competition Oh no you are gonna use senchenkoatsch
Keith Thurman always was #1 Welterweight on my list, its unfair to compare a young natural 147 puncher vs the 130-GOAT..Thurman gets minor credit for beating Floyd not impressive... cause Floyd is closer to 40 and fight night weighs in 148 vs youngsters coming in near 160...Big Credit to Floyd, little to his opponents Thurman route to greatness is to be the first 4 title Era, Undisputed Welterweight Champion, then work on breaking Tito & Armstrong consecutive title defenses...He will be an ATG & unintentionally very wealthy :hellohi
If you knew anything about boxing, you'd realise traingle theories never work Ali>Foreman>Frazier Margarito>Cotto>Mosely Pavlik>Taylor>Hopkins and the list goes on Mayweather is greater than all of those fighters mentioned, not only that...he has a 100% win record against them :hi:
Thurman gets hit too much to be the next big thing imo Just because he beat diaz doesn't mean that much it's not as good as beating diaz when porter and to a lesser extent khan did. You know this was Diaz's last fight he just took the money and retired imo.
Marquez > Pacquiao > Bradley is an example of how triangle theories don't work. Marquez in my opinion won the 3rd and 4th Pacquiao fights yet Bradley won their fight, Pacquiao beat Bradley twice in my opinion. You could go Ricky burns > Kevin Mitchell > Prescott > Khan > Kotelnik > Maidana.
No newbie...Khan got floored by Diaz and Porter went 1-0-1 on paper with Diaz...many felt Diaz won...so thanks for emphasizing Thurman superiority overall current Welterweights :deal
