If heavier punchers like Thurman and Spence couldn't stop Porter....

Bud has technic and hide his punches well. To think he does't have power is foolish, if anything he holds his power all twelve rounds but his accuracy is his biggest asset. It is the punch that you don't see coming...Comment

You’re the one who brought up Garcia… that’s the same triangular comparison.
Thurman has never stopped a decent fighter, IMO his power is a myth, I don’t think he’s a puncher whatsoever tbh. I’ve thought that for close to decade as well and he’s yet to prove me wrong.Comment

Fighters lie man, they lie about sh** all the time.
Whatchu mean "regardless of Garcia says" LOL he's been in the ring with both and lost to both. He holds no loyalty to either fighter for him to be lying lol
You could look at common opponents. Yeah, Spence scored a flash knockdown on Porter. But Thurman rocked Porter atleast twice in their fight. Spence only rocked him once. Thurman also rocked Garcia once or twice in their fight. Spence did not
You know who else dropped Porter besides Spence? Adrien Broner lol he hit harder than Thurman too?
Yeah, some fighters may lie, but doesn't seem like Danny cares about either Spence or Thurman to lie about who hits harder
Explain Bundu then? Thurman went 12 with him and Spence left him unconscious.
Spence had Porter badly hurt too, Thurman never.
Who’s Thurman ever stopped that’s even B level? Collazo maybe? And even that was on cuts.
Thurman has never proved his power is legit.

Fighters always lie, every fight they say this was “the best camp I’ve ever had”.
What reason would Garcia have to lie? He said Thurman was harder puncher but Spence was physically stronger. When Porter fought Thurman he said he was the hardest puncher he’d felt to that point. As someone else pointed out, Broner had dropped Porter before and Thurman didn’t. Is Porter a liar now too? Porter said the lights went out for a second against Thurman. He’s a puncher.
Actions > Words.
Who’s the best fighter Thurman has stopped?
IDC what people say about Thurman’s mythical power because he’s never proven it to be legit at the higher levels.

what WWs are stopping other top WWs? Thurmans power isn’t mythical but it’s respected. He was cracking dudes on the way up and stopped when he fought comp. Exact same thing that happened to GGG. If actions > words then you’re telling me Broner hits harder than Thurman? Also when was Porter “badly hurt” against Spence? He got dropped and went right back at it. He is literally on camera saying that Thurman shut his lights out from a left hook for a split second. He had to grab on to thurman with a full on wrestling hold.Last edited by mxtali; 11-20-2021, 01:23 PM.Comment

Golovkin stopped many top 10 ranked guys. Proksa (#10) Macklin (#6) Stevens (#10) Geale (#4) Rubio (#8) Murray (#6) Lemieux (#4)
Thurman has stopped ZERO top 10 ranked guys. I don’t think he’s even dropped a top 10 guy tbh man.

this is boxing, anything can happen. so let's not act like it is impossible.
It is possible that Crawford puts him out, I'm not expecting it though.Comment

Different types of power but I think Bud is more heavy handed than both of them. Thurman just has decent handspeed I don't think he punches all that hard the whole one-time moniker just needs dropping at this stage. Seems too sting guys early with his speed then losses his pop, he doesn't carry his power well.
Crawford has better timing and a better punch selection certainly than Thurman and I'd say he did over Spence actually.
I think Spence is longer and busier, maybe a touch more accurate but he doesn't have the timing Bud does or the punch selection.
