    ive been saying it for years. he uses his footspeed and hands.

    errool would take that away and close the distance on him and work h is body. he would KO him easily.

    As much as he uses his feet, he still throws a lot and bunches in punches every round. I really don't see the problem here..

    He's ok. Not the most boring but he can be bad. His "defensive" style is unsophisticated and not fun to watch like Floyd (yes I think Floyd can be fun because he's that good, but he's not exciting).

    No. Adrien Broner is the most boring fighter in history.

    Nothing boring about Thurman, he puts in work in all his fights. I really like the fact that he is moving a lot better than in his previous fights.

    Adrien has a solid highlight reel.
    Richar Abril was absolutely atrocious to watch.

    I like Thurman... his timing, jab, and footwork are excellent and he has good defensive instincts without being a runner (i.e. he knows how to hit and not get hit back). Josesito hurt him pretty bad tonight though.

    Crawford vs. Thurman would be a chess match. On a pure boxing level, I'd probably rather see that than Crawford vs. Spence.

    Thurman is fun to watching I don't know what the OP is talking about. Some fans just don't appreciate backwards moving boxers. If Thurman was Canelo we'd be hearing about how Thurman got pre-filled scorecards and Lopez got robbed.

    Keith Sometimes Ponytail Thurman is one of the most overrated welterweights.

    I don't find One Time boring. Sure he covers a lot of ring but he can stop and fire off some beautiful shots with power, speed and accuracy and then slip the counter (s) and he's back on his bike in the blink of an eye. I thought his fight tonight was pretty entertaining.
