That's been the way for his last, say 5-6 fights, but you can't deny that up to then he was a KO artist. 32 fights , 24 KOs and stoppages. He may be declining, but maybe also his last few opponents have been much better than those before. Who knows. He makes a good fight anyway and is not backward about promoting the heck out of it, -a good asset.
He looked pretty good for a guy coming from injuries and a 30 month break.
knocking out a bunch of overmatched cans does not make Run-Time a Ko artist at any point in his career. Once he started facing “above average” opponents - his bs hyped up power suddenly disappeared. Doesnt even score knockdowns.
Bingo, it’s safe to say, Thurman is the 147 spokesman for Puke-Boxing-Club (PBC) selling phony, weak hype… T Crawford will KO this yapping wanna be before the 5th round…
Boxing would be better if there was a rule you had to fight every 6 months or automatically drop 5 spots. And each stretch of 6 months of inactivity, drop another five spots in the rankings. Fights would get made, fans would happy, boxers would get their opportunities. Injured? too bad.
I like that idea. There would be so much more consistency and less fighters avoiding each other.
