So can he become a megastar or is he now a gatekeeper or is he done?
After watching this fight, I'm tore here. Omar came into this fight soft, a 19 month lay off and he didn't appear to have warm up in the dressing room before the fight and still stopped Guerrero.
Not true. Ward's defense is light years better than Thurman's. Ward doesn't have any split or majority decisions on his record.
wow ward has had better corruption and thats a good thing?
I agree. Thurman is more of a savage, better offense and defense than Ward and Gatti combined let alone the heavy handedness.

He could probably beat Berto or Victor Ortiz but he looked like hot garbage last night. If you get dropped like he did from a uppercut why would you go back to leaning your head in the same position again and again?
Honestly, it looked like the guy threw the fight, he was wobbling his head and body at those shots and then came back seconds later, looked like a fix to me, I hate to say it and sound like a stan..

His recent run of fights are grim reading. And he probably lost that Martinez fight. I feel he should call it a day.
Yep he lost to Martinez as well, i thought he was shot then...
I feel like it was probobly the kamegai fight that spelled the beginning of the end..
A three weight world champion. I feel he wasn't matched well at all after the Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight. He'd have given a lot of problems to Adrien Broner or Kell Brook. His time is likely over. He could probably still remain competetive at fringe level, but he's risking lasting damage.
Don't think the issue is his punch resistance. He ate some nasty ****ing shots. He needs to work on his defence as he had no answers for the uppercuts other than to take them.

He's done.
He was a pretty good boxer down at 135 and below and for some reason abandoned his boxing skills and become a brawler up at 147. Not sure why, surely you would want to try and box guys when going up in weight. I think the style he adopted up at WW has taken it's toll now and he's done.
He had a pretty good career all in all, got to fight Floyd, won some titles and probably made some decent money. He needs to walk away now.
