His resume is a joke.
The average age of his last 5 opponents is 35 years old.
The average KO% of his last 5 opponents is 46.6%.
He fought Collazo and Diaz after Khan did.
He fought Porter after Brook did.
He fought Guerrero after Mayweather took away his confidence.
He lets the other Top welterweights fight guys first, and then once they are a bit beaten up, have had some championship level mileage on them, he fights them then.
He will never fight a young and fresh Welterweight fighter. I can guarantee he won't fight the winner of Spence/Brook, and will instead force to take his mandatory, a decline and faded Amir Khan.
If Crawford moved up to 147 today, he wouldn't have the balls to call him out.
Thurman is a joke. He has done absolutely nothing at Welterweight, apart from edge Porter on points. He has never held a proper World Title, the WBA regular belt is a complete joke if there is also a WBA Super champion at the same time.
He complains that Mayweather ducked him when he was mandatory, did he expect to fight Mayweather with beating the guys he had done.
Keith Thurman will be exposed within the next 12 months, and will quickly be forgotten, unless he fights the tomato cans currently at 154.
Anyone else feel like getting a knife and chopping of his pony tails this instant!
I think he entire ww is over rated but thurmans is better than a c level fighter... I just don't see how people say it's "stacked" with talents. Its a solid division just not a great one.
He might lose to Garcia but he is still an A-Class fighter
Beating Porter, Collazo, Gurrero, Bundu, Diaz, Soto Karass, Chavez, Zaveck, and Quintana does make you a C-Class fighter
The average age of his last 5 opponents is 35 years old.
You took the fighters current ages, not their ages at the time of the fight. I ended up getting an average age of 34, which Bundu heavily skewed.
Porter 29
Guerrero 32
Collazo 34
Diaz 35
Bundu 40
Not that bad, Bundu is an exception since he turned pro late.
Don't twist it. Everyone knows that Garcia was handed the title at 147.
I'm not twisting anything but that is one of the best matchups coming up this year.
When it comes to Keith Thurman, I just can't get over Julio Diaz hurting him and Luis Collazo legit nearly KO'ing him to the body. Collazo came so close to causing the upset. Danny Garcia has already lost at least two times. Mauricio Herrera and Lamont Peterson both clearly having beat him.
