Comments Thread For: Thurman: March 30th About Proving [I] Was, Is, Forever Will Be One Of Greatest Fighters In Boxing

[Murray Kelm]

He should be called free time Thurman, I honestly don't know what he does with all his free time?.At least he seems to stay out of trouble, unlike a lot of these inactive boxers.

Beating Tszyu won't even come close to doing that but if he followed that with a win over Crawford, he could at least make a case.

Thurman will go out on his shield not the way he should be remembered but his inactivity the past few years will catch up with him. No doubt he still will be dangerous but Tszyu will bust him up.

He gets brutally knocked out. He hasn’t fought in ages. He hasn’t had a good win since 2019. He has always been very weak to the body. Plus he talks with the delusional crazy stare of a bulls#itter.

Keith will be running throwing one punch at a time…holding on inside being his boring usual self playing it safe in hopes of a decision win. Fans will probably be booing him again in an effort to stay awake. Lamest nickname ever “One-Time” - lol!

The only boring fight I can recall Keith being in was against Leonard Bundu, and that was because Bundu pulled a Rigondeaux and ran the whole fight after getting dropped early. What boring fights has he been in? When did fans (during a fight) ever boo him?

He fights for the decision…rarely goes toe to toe( unless it’s the last minute of rd 12)and would rather retreat, move and clinch on the inside than engage and attempt to hurt or ko any above average opponent. Has not had a ko in years …last 7 or so fights. Don’t remember what fight he was booed in…his prediction of ko of Tzyu is laughable. Watch - Thurman will make it an ugly dull fight.

There's no way he's gonna KO Tszyu. Personally, I think Keith's fights are all entertaining. He's a boxer puncher. He engages a lot. I totally disagree with your assessment of his boxing. Busted up Barrios. Had an action fight with PacMan. Except for round 7 he beat the hell out of Lopez, including a knock down. And round 7 was entertaining because Keith got rocked. He had good, entertaining fights with Garcia, Porter, Collazo, Guerrero, Diaz, Soto Karass, and Chavez. But if your definition of an exciting fight is only one that ends in a KO, we'll differ in opinion.

Once Upon A Time is going to get smoked by Tszyu. So sad how some fighters stay in the game to squeeze a last paycheck.

[Roadblock]

I don't get why people think Thurman is shot? The inactivity is a issue but last time we all saw him he battered Barrios every round and Barrios went onto become to interim champion who's gonna get a title shot probably soon. I'm not saying he's gonna beat Tim but him winning would not be shocking tbh

He did batter Barrios, what does that mean when, Barrios was stopped by 135 Davis and Thurman having his way could only wobbly him, the other thing is Barrios is a lot slower than Tim, not as big or as aggressive nor punches as hard and he landed very clean throughout the fight on Keith especially right hands, if you look close at Thurman he is going through all the motions of a quality guy, but doesn't have that crack or timing that he had stopping guys and he gets hit more, same with Lopez vs Thurman, but he can punch and nearly had Keith outa there, Keith is a very good quality fighter that has slipped and he gets caught, Tims straight punching with power will catch him if Barrios could.

Compared to what he was in 2017 he is shot,

Just to add Barrios beat a shot Ugas, Spence wrecked him and broke more than bones in that fight.

[Daniel Skillman]

He gained fame and notoriety when he started trashing Paulie Malignaggi, who he wanted a fight with. Paulie was no longer in his prime at that time. Meanwhile, Thurman was making a good account of himself by blasting every opponent put in front of him. Not exactly big names, but his fights were entertaining. It's around his 20th fight when fans started to take notice.

So, not a social media star who got famous tiktocking reactions to traffic crash videos set to classical music?
