What's with they hype about Keith Thurman?

So let me get this right, it took him 9 rounds to tko sota karass means he's not an knockout artist? Are you really that ******ed? Yea soto look very "washed up" when he's on a 2 fight winning streak vs aydin and tko berto. Before the 2 fight winning streak, he gave maidana hell before maidana won by tko in the 8th round. <<<Let me guess maidana doesn't have pop cause it took him 8th round to stop karass? Dude do us a favor and gtfofh.

 

I was skeptical at first but now I am a huge fan, plus he's from Florida.

 

Pac don't have a choice whether he wants to get out boxed or knocked out. It's not up to Pac. Thurman fights to win and regardless to what Pac does, I think he will lose. As for Arum not having any interest, Pac doesn't have any interest either. Now, a lot of people would say that's a duck but at this stage in Pac's career, it just don't make sense.

 

Thurman is too big for Manny.
It would be the same thing as asking Floyd to fight GGG.
There has to be a point when it is just too dangerous

 

I find it impossible not to like the guy.

He is a cool guy, seems smart and funny, and wants to be a great fighter that is remembered long after his career is over.

I like how he can be a mover while managing to keep it entertaining, he moves to set up his punches not just to avoid them. I think Thurman can create a lot of problems for a lot of fighters with his style. Even if you finally do catch up to him you might not like what you find, big overhand rights, uppercuts and a guy that's more then happy to fight it out if it comes down to it.

 

First of all, Thurman is no threat to Mayweather, for sure, but Soto Karass is no push over wash-up in his latest career revival. Maidana didn't have a walk in the park with him, someone you said will beat Thurman. Karass can be a challenge. I agree that someone who would pose a challenge to Mayweather, would have done far better against Karass. I think Thurman is a good fighter, who may indeed win a world belt, but I wouldn't say he's destined for the IBHoF; at least not at this point.

 

KT has a lot of talent and potential and continually shows improvement. He still has a lot of rough spots, but he is only 25. I say 3 years from now he has a very good chance of being a top p4per, maybe sooner. Porter/Thurman should be a good rivalry in a couple years.

 

oh please....Manny basically ended Margarito's career. I don't think anybody in the welterweight weight class is too big for manny.
