    He steps up his level of competition (albeit slightly) and the KO's are nowhere to be found.

    Bundu, completely average fighter in his shell for 12 rounds, onesie couldn't get him out of there.

    Guerrero, nothing left of the fighter we saw pre-Mayweather, he was there for the taking. A top class fighter would have stopped him.

    This hype job has been exposed

    :deal

    Bundu has never been stopped though
    Guerrero has never been stopped though, both have very solid chins.

    sergey KRUSHER kovalev who is an Atg puncher, thurman is a very strong puncher. And has skills to box his opponent he may need to rely on his skills rather than his very good power.

    Haye doesn't have the heart or chin to survive a fight like last night.

    :lol:
    Yes, the "KOs for life" **** has to stop now.
    But the dude looked as legit as many make him out to be. He has dominated two top 10 welterweight in consecutive fights.

    And when did Guerrero become a puncher, Khan could take a flush punch from Guerrero and still be standing, robbert is a pillow puncher ffs couldn't crack a egg if he tried.

    Thurman does need to stop with hyping his own KO power, it isn't there.

    That said he is still looking to be an A-level fighter in the making if not already. Hopefully he didn't sustain any permanent damage from that massive headbutt.

    I like Thurman, his last two fights were against two fighters that have never been stopped and yes he failed to stop them but dropped them both.

    Of course he is over hyped, what fighter isn't these days? But two one sided decision wins is hardly being exposed, he has had 18 stoppage wins in 4 rounds or less, not many rounds as a pro really so he is still learning, still gaining experience.

    Thurman has beaten whoever they have stuck in front of him so I think it is harsh to criticise him to strongly at the moment, we'll see just how good he is sooner or later when the level of opposition is upped again.

    You are answering rationally to what is a stupid troll thread. How can a fighter be exposed after a one sided victory against a guy who has never been stopped against some top level competition? It doesn't even merit a proper response.

    Yes I know but I couldn't help myself, you never know I might drag the troll into a sensible conversation.

    I am an optimist :lol:

    He still can crack he did manage to KD Robert who by the way has a pretty good chin. It just happens to alot of KO artists as they face better opposition
