Keith "One Time/KOs 4 Life" Thurman Ain't KO'd Nobody Since 2013...

Thurman's power is overrated. He couldn't KO an old Lopez, who Maidana and Berto stopped.

 

Well, he didn't really try. But he did score a solid KD.
Hard to KO someone off of the back foot.

 

It happens.

Bonecrusher Smith only knocked out about half the people he fought - 32 KOs in 62 fights for a 52% KO percentage.

Cool name, though.

 

Can't wait for Thurman to talk **** and say it will only take one punch to stop Manny. I am 100% certain Roach will bring up the fact that Run Time hasn't KO'd anyone in 6 years.

 

I maintain he does have elite power at welterweight, he just isn't a Hawk or Pipino style destroyer. Look at the lineup he faced since 2013, and name me one person he ought to be ashamed of not having one-hit KTFO.

Even a monster hitter can embark on a dry spell if matched tough enough for long enough.

 

We have to keep it in perspective, 2014 to the present:

Danny: well known as a sturdy chin, Keith rocked him severely early (never seen him really rocked prior)
Porter: known as someone with a sturdy chin, Keith rocked him severely multiple times
Rob G: good chin, stopped only once, in his ill fated comeback fight, Keith rocked and dropped him very hard
Collazo: warrior and excellent chin: Keith still made him capitulate and retire on his stool, he beat an undefeated prospect (also considered a puncher) in his next fight
Kid Diaz: Stopped and permanently retired by Keith

Admittedly Lopez is worrying but the guy was off for 2 years, coming back from injuries on both side (right elbow, left hand),
dropped him hard (like he does most opponents), the never even really showed the urgency to knock him out.
Keith's power hurts everyone he's in the ring with. His power is true, it's not Julian Jackson but it's definitely real.

 

The Ghost knows what's up.

 

Veganism > alcoholism.

 

I never could understand that,those interviews where he calls himself a big puncher were just delusional imo.Having said that I do like Thurman.
