Why is everyone so high on Keith Thurman?

Because he has skills :boxing::boxing:

Power puncher with charisma

Thurman has his limits but keeps winning.

He is an undefeated champion with a good record and a high KO percentage so why wouldn't he get lots of praise?

Thurman was more hyped about 2 years ago. He was very hungry and was putting together some quality wins. From then to now though, he hasn't elevated his game and his performances seem to have gone back a few steps. I don't know what is the cause of this, but maybe he needs a change of management, possibly even a different trainer.

Everyone isn't high on Thurman. He's my fave guy to watch atm because He's one of those guys I don't have to defend. But Thurman can fight going forward or moving. He's had a bad year, imo. His fights left me wanting. I will say this however, he's one of the few welterweights anyone with a brain would have preferred to see over Berto last Saturday.

Because he's unbeaten and he talks a lot. Just the flavour in at the moment. Thurman is clearly a quality fighter. No point in denying that. Is he the future savior of the WW division and will go unbeaten for his whole career? Probably not. But he's still really good.

I don't think Garcia, Maidana or Matthysse would beat him. But Porter, Brook, Bradley and Pacquiao most likely would. A washed up Collazo who HE called "over the hill" after Khan beat him; walked him down and hurt him bad with a liver shot, doesn't bode for him too well vs Matthysse or Chino.

Hes not as good as people thought he was I'll give you that. Still reckon he is on the top tier of post Floyd WW's though he desperately needs to prove it in the ring

you got a point he doesnt throw combinations, loads up on punches, doesnt like fighting backwards when he comes up against a guy with a chin and activity at elite level, he will have a close fight
