Like he did Leonard Bundu I went out of my way to watch "the next big thing" what a sack of s**t and he has that vile brash ****y mouth too. Brook and Khans grandmothers could do themselves justice against him.
I agree with you, Brixton. He is over hyped. Let's see what he does in the future. I believe he will come up short when he steps up.
Come on scar you are an educated boxing fan, how can he be in boxrec top 10 p4p fighters? Above the likes of Cotto?
Cotto has one major victory after coming off a loss to Mayweather and Trout in 2012 and has been inactive for nearly one year so far. Thurman has wins over Guerrero(didn't Khan turn him down?), Bundu(undefeated), Karass(coming off a win over Berto), Chaves(undefeated) and others. Additionally, he's desperately trying to get a fight done with Amir Khan but will most definitely be ignored. Sure, one can argue he's not top 10 P4P material and I won't argue otherwise as well. My response to the scumbag thread starter was merely based on him being a proven mental scumbag.
I don't think his resume matches his talent yet and that's not his fault. Look how he performs against common opponents he shares with other top fighters in the division. He looks really impressive.
Trust me im not Amir khans biggest fan and seen him live a few times but his last few performances have been great. I am 100% sure khan would beat him and there is no way on earth he is top 10 p4p just as there is no way GGG should be rated higher than Froch.
Khan would get sparked senseless by Thurman and the proof to that is Khan will never ever take this fight or even consider it. I'll be shocked if he dares respond to Thurman's recent call-out despite his overly vocal nature when it comes to trash talking fighters he would never fight(or fight again) on twitter. Stylistically, Thurman would beat Khan so bad, it won't even be funny. Beating Collazo(who was a C+ class fighter in his prime and his prime was a decade ago) and Alexander(coming off a loss to Porter) is NOT impressive. Both were carefully and shamelessly selected for their lack of power. Even his next choice, Algieri, is another shameless pick of someone coming off a loss and lacks power. It was such a shameless pick that even he decided to pull out of it and is currently stalling.
Na no sign of him being a hype job yet .... cruised thro all his fights so far. Iv always said the Khan, Brook & Thurman triangle is potentially great clashes of styles. For me Thurman sparks Khan clean out within rnds 6-8 as soon as Khan starts to slow down. However I think Kell Brook outpoints Thurman for a UD and i think Khan may be able to take Kells power (not 100%) on that ... if he can handle it then he easily outpoints Kell. So i think it cld be Thurman beats Khan, Brook beats thurman and Khan beats Brook. discuss!......
