    nah. Thurman is highly skilled, but the one thing going against him is his ability to withstand the body shots from one of the best body attackers in the game. If he can his chances of winning would be high.

    Closer than most people think it would be, after all they're both drained down Light Middles, it would actually be a fair fight for a change. I lean Spence by UD, but wouldn't be shocked in the least if Horn stopped him.

    We'll see if he grows a set and fights either of them. Let's be real here, getting in there with Porter and Danny isn't the same as fighting Spence and Crawford.

    Thurman is not highly skilled at all.

    You sure he wouldn't be the best thing since sliced bread if he was an Eastern Euro?

    Since when is 5'9 massive? He's smaller than Mike Jones, Vernon Forrest, Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams, Oscar De La Hoya etc.

    Agenda change? Only agenda change I see, is that some people seem to try and mask their true sentiment lol.

    Yeah that's why I picked Mikey Garcia to KO Zlaticanin and Lipinets, and I don't even like Mikey all that much, eat a dick.

    Thurman doesn't like it to the body. When Spence start digging into Thurman's ribs, he won't like it and will most likely fold.

    It's almost as if you can't like the guy......

    You either have to believe he's a 'hypejob' or the 'second coming of christ', there appears to be no middle ground.


    I personally see the guy as a great talent. Who, unlike Kell Brook, has the huge advantage of both being in the right place, and from the right place, at the right time.

    For me he's no Floyd, but he's also a level above the likes of Porter/Garcia and has the potential to be a multiple weight world champ.

    Explain to me how Thurman is highly skilled. Or do you know what boxing skill consists of?

    Spence is the far better technician of the two. You boxing newbies confuse flash with skill.
