    I know alot of you idiots talk high praise of keith thurman, but I'm telling you this guy is not a good boxer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_ZzWVnM6UA

    If I saw him in the gym I'd think it was guy who had just starting boxing, his technique footowrk and balance are absolutely average not good at all

    anyone who has picked this guy to beat mayweather is a disgrace to the sport, and know nothing about boxing,

    Khan beats him, porter beats him brook beats him, he has enough to get to a good level but theres no way he can beat the best, talent and skills alwasy win adn thurman isn't the most talented

    Thurman is the David Haye of the welterweight division. He has a punchers chance with anybody

    I know he has a high KO percentage and has stopped diaz karass, but hes no were near the hardest puncher, not with how his technique is, who has he fought aswell!

    Porter brook, all punch harder than thurman,

    Thurman shouldn't even be muttered in the same breathe as Mayweather...
    He truly brings nothing to the table for Floyd, AB-Nothing!!!

    You realize this video is four years old, right? You realize Thurman is still very young and has plenty of time improve, right?

    Fighters technique never improved its ingrained already, thurman will never change, only gain more experience but the way hes off balance has poor footwork and technique wont get better

    He's fighting a weight class below where he should be.

    That said, when he moves to LMW, you'll see better reflexes, footwork, defense and power.

    He's really the complete package.....and anyone who picks Porter or Khan to beat him DKSAB.

    Mayweather is another animal. His defense and CPing, and potshotting are enough to frustrate and beat 90% of the entire top 10 of 130-160.

    If Thurman fought Mayweather at 154, he'd have a much better chance of winning.:think

    NO NO NO :patsch at 154 guys like Lara and canelo angulo would knock thurman out, Lara would stop him inside 3 rounds, canelo would kill him aswell,

    weight doesn't make ur skills better u moron his poor technique and lack of talent and boxing ability will not improve, he'll only get more experience,

    com on skills are what matter in boxing, if u look at a fighter like thurman and you know boxing you can see hes got something, but hes abolustely no were near the best and technically flawed

    Jesus Christ a Kell Brook fan shitting on Thurman's technique. Come back and make this thread when Brook's fought and beaten someone better than Carson Jones FFS.

    He's draining to make 147. If he allows himself better hydration and nutrition during his camps, his reflexes would be better and that would improve his footwork, hand eye coordination, power, chin, and handspeed.

    Your'e critiquing his technique, but what exactly does he do that's not highly skilled?
    His punches are crisper and shorter than Porters.....his defense is better than Malinaggis, Judahs, and Alexanders......and he hits harder that Madaina.

    If he moved to LMW, all those techniques would improve over time. He's still a kid too......he might be a full fledged MW before it's all over. :think

    Good post, but... you're arguing with a Kell Brook fan. Kind of a wasted endeavor.

    Thurman has not been tested against a elite. Its not to say he is trash either.
