    Thurman has a good resume especially when he fought particular guys. He had a helluva run: beat Chaves when the Argentinian was undefeated and very dangerous, he beat a tricky Bundu when the Italian was undefeated, then there's Guerrero, Collazo, Porter and Garcia when they were all relevant.

    Keef went on his hiatus and came back for a few fights but he wasn't really the same guy in the ring. I don't think he has the same hunger and he's had injuries. When he lost to Pacquiao, he didn't even see all that bothered by it.

    I don't think Keef is overrated so much as you have to realize he wasn't the same fighter he once was.

        It was the same Manny. Started hot and faded late. I told you idiots for months "he's 42" but yall insisted he was still great... NO excuses now..

          Eye test? Do I need to quote Fist of fury ?

          > Prime Bud got dropped by inactive and blown up Gamboa along with Eurobum Mean Machine. He had to lowblow washed up glass jaw Amir Khan to stop him. Peg legged Jose Bumavidez took rounds off Crawford until his leg gave out. Washed up weight drained quitter Brook damn near closed his eye before he quit in just a few rounds.

          Porter has wins over Garcia and Ugas which again are better wins than anything in Bum's resume.

            He didn't get easily beat by Manny, I would have had him winning that fight if not for the knockdown. But yes, he is an overrated fighter. His pillow fist's ain't scaring nobody.

              Crawford and Spence are top 5 p4p in the world, with Crawford being #1 imo for a bit. They are trending toward hof. Neither is there yet imo. They are very good and could be great.

                It’s impossible to have an honest conversation about him post Manny because if you point out the truth- he barely beat lopez, his only fight in almost 2 years before Manny-the dipsh-t imbecile f-ckboy slurper Manny stans jump in and claim you’re hating or trying to discredit the win.

                Those are the same “fans” that elevate him because he didn’t fight Floyd and fought Manny.

                He’s a good but not great boxer. Definitely a quality win for Manny.
                Good but not great boxer and a quality win for Manny, and I'd add really for any welterweight a few years ago. Wasted career though, very sad

                  Floyd ducked him and 40 year old Manny showed him how it's done that's gotta sting.

                    Floyd simply didn’t fight him. Only Manny slurpers make it a big deal. Thurman wouldn’t even register in Floyd’s resume.

                    You guys always give a fighter a bump if he hasn’t fought Floyd. Let you guys tell it, Thrurman, clottey and Margs are something special.
