Boxing skills, sort of awkward, can box a bit on the back foot, prone to ugly stuff/accidental headbutts.

Let's be honest, Thurman is garbage.

Who do you rate (edited) as above average at 147 (if anyone)?

You watched "highlight reels" and came away with a full blooded assessment from that?? LOL

I guess he did the same thing vs Soto Karass, Chaves (who Bradley had a tough bout with) and Bundu (who is a very difficult fighter for any boxer to face).

Wow,

So you think he the next "coming" then I personally don't far from it in fact "over hyped" more like

Oh and Bundo what ever his name is, is 40 years old at least and if he's "THAT" good Furman would have destroyed him

Have you ever seen Bundu box? He isn't your typical over-the-hill 40 year old, dude is crafty, fast, tough, has a granite chin, can counter very well/has fast hands and feet and constantly switches from SP to orthodox style and he has a decent defense to boot.

I'd be willing to bet that Bundu would handle Khan rather easily, maybe even KO the china chinned weakling, and for the record-I've never said that Thurman was the next coming.

You only watched him on highlight reels and you are saying he's overhyped, ask Soto Karass and Chaves if he's overhyped.

And Bundo only just beat Frankie Gavin who is European level at best?

Khan has just beat Alexander who is a top draw fighter emphatically on points? weakling is a bit strong excuse the pun.

Soto Karass and Chaves ? who the hell are they? on world terms?

That was in reference to his chin/ability to take a shot. I'd take Chaves and Soto Karass by KO over Khan.

Bundu is a very good box fighter, he beat Frankie Gavin and he is world class; no way that Bundu would beat Khan, he'd not win a minute of a bout with Khan.

Gavin is untested at world level so we don't know yet? I personally think he has missed the boat unfortunately.

Well you would

I'm not really a Khan fan but he's on top of his game at the minute and only the very best will beat him now!

I'd still like to know who Ricky considers to be 'above average' at 147.

What makes you think Gavin is world class?

Thought he looked good, seems very technical, fought well on the back foot, didnt waste energy, very good boxer in my eyes.

If you're waiting on a response from an imbecile like him then you are going to be waiting a long time because he thinks there's only one fighter at WW (Manny) and no one else.

He called Thurman garbage, lol.

So called "Boxing Fans" these days.

That came across wrong Riddick, I should have made it clear, Bundu is world class though Thurman is a level above him.

There is only one for Ricky - The Pacmaster. Everyone else is below him.
