Thurman isn't as powerful as most think.

So, what happened? His power suddenly disappeared? No, his power is still there and its the same. Remember Robert Guerrero saying something like: Now I know why they call him one time, post fight. Thing is at the World level fighters are not only good at dishing out, but also absorbing serious amounts of punishment and keep moving forward. This isn't to say just because you can absorb punishment you're World level. Bundu is Euro level.

I've been saying this since the bundu fight. Plus Thurman is too afraid of getting hurt.

I don't think he took this fight that seriously. He needs to focus less on Mayweather and more on his next opponents, fighting like this won't get him anywhere near a Mayweather win much less a fight. As for his power, he throws mostly power punches, you can tell because he's so flat footed, its not like if he threw a regular punch it would knock an opponent out.

He calls him self one time, because all it takes is one punch to put your lights out, thats what keith said. I think he hits hard but not the hardest hitter. Thurman is like tyson, once tyson speed left so did his power, tyson couldn't even hurt lennox or danny williams or mcbride badly, because he no longer had the explosive speed to generate the power. George foreman is an example of a true heavy handed fighter, watch his fight with moorer and he threw what looked like the weakest one two arm punch with no leverage and he drops moorer hard and wins by ko. Pavlik is another guy with heavy hands, slow and doesn't really throw with explosive speed but could spark you out with what look like arm punches. What an awful comparison. So Tyson wasn't really a great puncher because he was crap when he was shot to bits? Yeah Tyson didn't really hit that hard. Smh

I think he was just unprepared against collazo and thought it would be a walk in the park. He's been focusing on mayweather too much.

He's moving too much so he's not setting his feet just kind of jumps at you though he can generate power he's not technical enough to be devastating.

... He young, doe... I think that the hippy took Collazo too easily... Thurman seems he is taking his future career road for granted. I wonder why and because of whom? :)

Well most fighters KO'S slow down when they fight higher competition..interesting to seeifhe can KO anyone good...

I dont think he sets up his power as well as he could do. I'd like to see a more consistent and intelligent jab from him to set up his shots. He can punch though.

Thurman didn't seem to me to punch as hard as he has in the past. He punched harder against Guerrero. He punched similarly to last night against Bundu. Thurman quoted his late trainer during prefight interviews who once told him that without his power he is nothing. I think he is starting to accumulate injuries to his hands and shoulders through the excessive power he has hit with to this point, and it is starting to diminish. Without that huge punch, he is a good fighter but not a special fighter. If Collazo, could have continued, the outcome was not certain in my mind.

Yep, all these bandwagon haters are doing my head in though. I saw him for what he was a while a go, a very good fighter, nothing special. Loses to May, Pac, Brook, Spence.

I think this thread is relevant since last night lolz.

He's a good fighter, i have seen him get hurt by non power punchers.

One punch conclusive power at ww Randall Bailey Tommy Hearns

He has power but he isn't that intelligent. He swings too wide and wildly, anyone intelligent enough would pick him off easily, he doesn't have a good stamina as well.

No one ever said he was a one punch knockout artist and at 147 no one is really, he still might be the hardest puncher in the division though. He calls him self one time, because all it takes is one punch to put your lights out, thats what keith said. I think he hits hard but not the hardest hitter. Thurman is like tyson, once tyson speed left so did his power, tyson couldn't even hurt lennox or danny williams or mcbride badly, because he no longer had the explosive speed to generate the power. George foreman is an example of a true heavy handed fighter, watch his fight with moorer and he threw what looked like the weakest one two arm punch with no leverage and he drops moorer hard and wins by ko. Pavlik is another guy with heavy hands, slow and doesn't really throw with explosive speed but could spark you out with what look like arm punches.

"He's got power in both hands"- guerrero Yea Thurman needs to get weight behind it Kova is just a freak of nature

True he's open for counters all day bad match up if he fights Floyd by the time he's winging a jab or right hand will be in his nose I think Thurman knows that and is willing to take those shots and try to land over the top

I get what you're saying, but in defense of Thurman: Most guys couldn't wing them like that if they wanted to. And there are some guys who'd leave themselves wide open and get KOed Or they'd never land if they threw them like Thurman did. He puts some muscle into those punches, I say his power is for real. I feel like he stuns guys with the first punch and puts them down with the second and third. He might have a hard time connecting on a guy like Floyd with those kind of punches, but then again Shane landed on Floyd and Floyd's slowing down.

Don't get me wrong he most likely is the hardest hitting welterweight out there but if you look at most of his shots he wings them hard and puts all his weight behind them almost looking as goofy as when Bradley does it. True power is when guys like Beterbiev and Kovalev throw compact shots that don't look like much and just devastate their opponents. There are levels to power just like anything else in boxing. I like Thurman btw, not hating. True he's open for counters all day bad match up if he fights Floyd by the time he's winging a jab or right hand will be in his nose
