Thurman could definitely stop Brook but I think Amir Khan just has too much boxing skill and speed...having said that however khan would definitely need to watch his chin against Thurman haha

Good fighter and that Guerrero win was a good one. Thurman has to work on consistency throughout the fight and develop a couple of more dimensions/options, but he's a good fighter all the same. Think his size helps him because of his style, so I would advise against moving up in weight right now.

I thought he looked great considering his opponent. In the lead up people were talking about Guerrero like he was a push over, like Thurman was picking him for an easy knockout, and I didn't understand that at all. Guerrero has always been a fantastic fighter and warrior, is southpaw and has never been stopped, so Thurman handled him well. The only other guy to dominate him like that was Floyd.

Thurman has brutal thudding power, but like stated above he does get visibly uncomfortable on the inside and he does get discouraged when he hits a guy hard and they don't go anywhere. Overall Thurman is a fantastic young fighter and one of the top guys at WW, now I'd love to see him go against another one of the division's elite like Khan, Maidana, Brook, Porter, ect. I think a match with JMM would be very interesting and a great test to see what Thurman could work against an elite counter puncher.

Well said. Also Spicoli's point: dude got his track shoes on 11-12th. I'll add: Ghost takes a great punch.
