why all the hate to thurman?? i know theres a million threads on him already but seriously this guy is willing to fight anyone and is trying make big fights but people dont want to fight him. now he stops a guy he was supposed sure it wasnt a star studded performance but he made him quit on the stool. im not super high on thurman but he shows he can hang with the best of them. what does it take to earn respect around here. you dont have to be a die hard fan of thurman but dont bash him when hes clearly trying to fight everyone out there. same guys i see talk about "ducking" are on here saying thurman is overrated and a bum. what kind of fans does boxing have now?
It's mostly fans of guys fans of rival fighters like Khan and Maidana, the fear is real. And we can't forget the insecure Flo.mos, just cos Keith wants to fight him it's apparently some kind of big deal that warrants hate.
The other portion are retarded inbred ****s who clearly hate a certain group of fighters.
You couldn't be more further from the truth. Nobody said Thurman is an ATG or a pound for pound god or the next Thomas Hearns. He's just a contender in the mix trying to win titles and get better fights vs other top contenders.
Are you dim?
where in my post did i say anything about ATG or P4P king's ?
Right, he's a contender, (He's a contender for mayweather apparently :lol1:) and a talented one, but he's also a massively over hyped contender who has fought nobody of note. like i said when he fights a live opponent i will give him his props.
However having a big mouth and declaring yourself a KO artist and then running against C- level opponents for entire fights rightly deserves criticism does it not ?

Well for starters, Thurman has no glasses.
2) He peeled the sticker off the brim of one of his hats.
C) He just isnt TMT material.
no ones hating on him, just commentating on what he's showing us. He isnt delivering what he says he is.
fighting washed up bums and C- (at best) level fighters and he's struggling with them, he calls himself 'one time' a 'knock out artist, future star' and he doesn't deliver, therefore he gets called out, why is that so hard to comprehend?
When he actually gets put in a 50/50 match up and performs well, he will get his dues, untill then stfu, especially talk of mayweather, people are actually saying he's more deserving than khan/etc :lol1:
You yanks are so annoying, defending these guys to the death just because they were born in the same country, so dull..get a grip ffs.

i was thinking the same thing last night. i think hes overrated but honestly what does overrated even mean anymore? the guy is still a special talent regardless whether or not hes the top fighter at 147 i dont think so i think brook beats him and i also think bradley gives him trouble i also think khan gives him trouble and mayweather dominates him. i think we are holding fighters to a ridiculous standard these days that is impossible to reach. its like if the fighter is not at instand legend status at 23 fans throw them ot with the weekly trash
thank you! and fact of it all is. brook porter maidana, khan etc are in NO RUSH to fight him. hes clearly made some noise the past year and is a good name to add to your resume. hes on the level of the guys i just named, these past 2 wins earned him the right to face any of them.
Fools acting like they can walk through Mortal Kombat with nothing but flawless victories.
lol exactly, people just find any reason to complain and point out flaws. its getting really bad though, nobody should be bashing thurman until he clearly ducks somebody or does some catchweight bs. thurman hasnt had a chance to show us everything he can do and people already act like he lost or hes a scared fighter
