    Is the power really a myth?

    Just because a fighter doesn't get the knockout doesn't mean they don't have power. Thurman has fought Bundu, Guerrero, Collazo, and Porter. All tough fighters who either had never been stopped or only stopped 1 time very early in their career. Don't forget Thurman knocked down Guerrero and Bundu. Stopped Collazo on his stool and hurt Porter plenty of times throughout their fight.

    Porter ate so many flush shots and some he literally walked through.

    When you proclaim yourself as "One Time" and your motto is "KOs for life" I think there are higher expectations. All the ****ysts coming into this fight talked about the power differential over Porter and I just don't see it cause he hit him with so many flush shots that Porter shrugged off.

    Never said he didnt have power but I think we can stop thinking this guy is a devestating puncher

    "we" can stop thinking that, but it would be unwise for his opponents to ever think that...

    Thurman can bomb.

    Thurman can hit hard. Porter just has an amazing chin. Same way Kovalev went 12 with Hopkins.
