Unpopular Boxing Opinion Keith Thurman

Keith Thurman was scared of Bradley, Brook, Maidana & Spence

He is not a true fighter

He is soft to the body

He is a bum dosser

He is now retired into history and irrelevance, same as Crawford

You either grab your balls and die a hero or fade into oblivion. Even if Usyk was 100% sure that Fury would crucify him he'd still fight him and still try and win. That's the difference between real fighters and phonies.

 

Nope Pac beat him 115-112.

 

I disagree but I had it 6-6 with the knockdown making the difference. Keith lost but he performed well after a shaky start

 

"should've" is not correct. Should have implies that there was not a logical, legitimate way for Pacquiao to have been scored as the winner. "Could have" certainly works. By the end it was a close fight and Thurman had a chance for the decision but there is no way he should've gotten the decision just as there is no way Pacquiao should have gotten the decision.

By the way, I had it 115-112 for Pacquiao.

 

Nah it was a close but a clear decision for Pacquiao the knockdown made the difference.

115-112 or 114-113 for Pacquiao

 

Pac won but Thurman should have been able to win he choked on the big stage and Manny set the tone with the knockdown in the first which threw Thurman off his game. It goes to show you can never underestimate an old veteran especially one who was as great as Manny Pacquiao.

 

You know..... I went back and watched that fight for the third time, and like the Loma fight, I scored it a draw. I am of the opinion that if Keith would've stayed consistent, he would've beaten Spence and has a trilogy against Crawford. Keith was the perfect combination of athleticism, power, and technical ability (Crawford may the more flashier-meaner fighter, Keith was the more technical fighter). Keith would've been a great fighter and he would be considered a HOF if he hadn't become so complacent. Prime for Prime he is a problem for everyone and I would favor him over WWs like Cotto, Tito, and Mosley

 

He beats every fighter you listed imo

 

Prime Thurman v Prime Brook would've been a hell of a fight IMO

 

Youre right, that is an extremely unpopular opinion. Probably because its completely baseless

 

People are forgetting that he tore his shoulder to bits and that’s what ended his career

 

it was closer than people think. I also think jeff horn beat pac fair and square.

 

That's a stretch
