    He called out Maidana. I give him props for calling fighter's out directly.

    How exactly were you proven right that Thurman is overrated when he dominated his opponent and didn't exactly show any glaring vulnerabilities?

    :deal

    That's why he is called Keith ''ONE TIME'' Thurman, all he needs is that one big punch but unfortunately... he couldn't get the KO or TKO win.

    Even if you don't wanna include Khan heres ten Floyd, Pac, Bradley, Brook, Marquez, Maidana, Porter, Alexander, Thurman, Guerrero.

    Khan should have been ranked ahead of Bundu anyway. Wins over Collazo and Diaz are better than anything Bundus done

    People are doubting his abilities now aren't they, they don't think he's the boogeyman anymore.
    I never said Keith was terrible or even bad just that he was being overhyped as this scary man in the division that everyone was terrified of, and that was all hype and now he's being seen as ordinary which is what I've always thought that he was to begin with, I've never seen him as special, but I never thought Porter was either and..... I was right about that as well.

    You are taking the opinions of the minority of forum trolls and saying they are the opinions of the masses.

    Perhaps nobody bothered to watch his fight with Zaveck. It was more or less the exact same fight.

    I somehow forgot about Guerrero when going over it in my head. Yes that is 10, you are correct. (clears throat) OK, well, no lower than 11th.

    A 1 point razor close war win over Diaz where he got dropped and the wipeout beating of Collazo? Sorry, that doesn't surpass Bundu's frequency of fights and success at the weight and I really do believe there was no possible argument for that.

    With the impressive W over Alexander, obviously Khan vaults into the middle of the mix.

    I did live when it was on HBO as I've pointed out in the past and that's partially why I've never been thrilled with Thurman, I felt the same way after the Orlando Lora match as well which he looked decent in but not spectacular, I'm from Florida I've kept a close eye on Keith he's good just not great.

    I agree with you.

    People like to live in the moment is all. Get used to it as it's the same old same old, rinse and repeat.

    Before Fury I: Chisora is an alright fighter. Klitschko's ducking him!
    After Fury I: Chisora sucks and will never win another relevant fight.
    After Helenius: Chisora may not be mortal! Possible top 5 HW!!!
    After Vitali: Chisora is pretty good and would beat most out there.
    After Haye: Actually Chisora really is just a good gate keeper type.
    After Scott: Wow Chisora is damn good and very underrated!
    Before Fury II: Chisora is finally in shape and on a roll I expect the upset!
    After Fury II: Yeah, Chisora is just a good gate keeper type.

    Thurman is a beast and fought a really good fight. I dont see most ppl beating him. Khan-Thurman would be great, Thurman Ko's Bradley

    It would be premature to say the man has ben exposed. However, he has given us pause for some reconsideration.

    We need to see how he performs against a name.

    Haven't written him off.....









    ....just yet.

    :good:lol: That's what I've been trying to say to all the Fury fanatics for the past 2 weeks. Because a lot of the are trying to move him back to the post Helenius/Vitali Chisora to make Fury into a master boxer now, to sell their agenda.
    I never tend to live in the moment I live in my head far too much to do that. Although I do get caught up in my emotions when fighters get screwed by ****ty judges.

    What does Bernard Hopkins have to do with anything? Age IS relevant. a 40 year old fighter (or 49) is NOT as good as he was in his prime. And given that Bundu was never good, while at least Bhop was a top P4P at one time, you have less of a point.

    Mosley probably beats Bundu right now.

    Dude Bundus best win is a razor thin decision against Frankie Gavin, a guy who needed a gift to beat tough but domestic level Bradley Skeete in his next fight.
