What's with they hype about Keith Thurman?

No **** the guy hits hard goes to the body can bang can box has good movement makes adjustments a good chin he's a good fighter. Hell his fight with Chaves showed me that.

 

My goodness.

Sometimes I wonder of people even watch fights.

 

Thurman is more dangerous than any opponent an Undefeated Mayweather faced/will face

No reason to justify Mayweather choice of Khan and guys Khan beatdown

 

Yep :good:good

Weak Thread. Thurman is gonna blast 147 next year. I would give him a great chance to beat Bradley and KO him out and Bradley is the #1 contender at WW

 

He looked pretty good against a fighter who was coming on off two big victories, and dealt pretty well with adversity. Claiming that he's the best thing since sliced bread is probably going a bit overboard based on this performance...but so is dismissing him altogether.

He did well in there. What more do people want?

 

Nailed it

 

Apparently up and coming fighters should be expected to do more than develop and improve every fight.

 

Thurman is a monster.

Anyone can see that. IMO this guy is the second best fighter in the division.

 

Agreed!

Thurman is progressing and has shown himself to be a top prospect. I have him besting a hype like GGG. :yep

 

Damn SKS......IDK if your the same guy who used to wear a Morales avvy, but if you are, your level of boxing knowledge has seriously decreased.
The SKS I remember easily recognized greatness, and saw promise in good fighters.
You obviously must be ill, or are not the SKS I know.:nono

For one......

JSK is NOT washed up. He is the penultimate gatekeeper. If you can beat him, you are getting to the champion. PERIOD.

And Im talking.....if you aint Champion material.....not titlist material, but Champion material......you aint beating JSK. Not yesterday, and not tomorrow either.

All those guys you listed, Maidana, Matthysse, Provodnikov, and Mayweather would be the weaker guy in the ring with One Time. He's a powerful SOB.

He's young and needs serious work on timing and placement and mixing up the speed on his shots, so he aint ready to beat Mayweather, but right now, even at 25 with serious flaws, would be 50/50 to KO Madaina, Provodnikov, and UD Mathysse.

 

I agree with ya on that....I'd favor Thurman to outbox and likely stop Bradley.......

......that is absolute rubbish.

Absolute rubbish.

Either your'e a Mayflower diickrider, a Broner boner, or a Pac hater.

Pac 118-110 Timothy Bradley. 116-112 is an acceptable but biased score for the fight. Anyone having Bradley over Pacqioua DKSAB or was paid handsomely to come to a Bradley decision.:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I kindof wish Thurman was a few inches taller so he could move up to LMW/MW.

He's defo got the strength and power to compete at those weights, but his size could be a problem.

At least if Thurman was a MW or even LMW, we'd finally have a contender with the balls to get it on with GGG.:think

 

Thurman wants to put all his effort into Welter, SRR, SRL & Trinidad dominant runs at Welter are what he wants to surpass

No need to move up, this trend is a polite form of ducking. I challenge any current champion to clean up their division... They never can or dare to do so....:tired

 

:good KT is in good stead at 147. No need to move up.

 

Thurman is 25 y/o and he is far from completely filled out.

I know he's not a "big man" but all males continue to grow physically til we're late 20s early 30s. Usually 28/29.

With politics and blatant ducking, there's little chance we'll ever have another undisputed champion in ANY weight class, even HW.

There's no such thing as cleaning out the division either. Yeah, we'd love to see unification and eliminators/mandatories consistently made by every single titlist, but unless there's ONE ruling party which supersedes ALL promoters/mgrs/fighters/sanctioning bodies/ranking organizations and athletic commissions, we will NEVER have a clear-cut single Champion at any weight.
