Thurman is a strange one for me. I have been thinking hes going to be the next big thing but I rewatched his fight against Chaves and he really struggled in spells against a limited opponent, I do think putting him in with better competition will bring out the best of him but I think Manny at this stage is a step too far. Id have 3 fights before that in this order:
Brandon Rios
Guerrero or Porter
Alexander or Bradley.
3 wins against this competition would prepare him for a jump into the elite group. Also give Manny another year to slow down
