Also, with how the PUG guild is, they more resemble how THFs would play. Plus, most of the abilities (Apart from Second wind and H2H abilities) tie in with how a THF would play, but then again, this is FFXIV, not FFXI-2....at least not yet.
I think they maybe following the logic that Pugilists don't really use weapons as such, they're hand to hand specialist just like monks, so it'd make more sense that hand-to-hand class > hand-to-hand job. Also since jobs will be able to use the abilities of the class they came from, a thief may look a bit unusual mimicking a Pugilists animations with daggers, unless of course jobs get seperate animations for the same skills as the class they came from.
