    Keith Thurman is friggin overrated.

    Seem to be a lot of fans treating this guy like the next Tommy Hearns. Yeah he's big and strong for welter and has scored some KOs...but who exactly has he beaten? Has he faced a technician of merit yet?

    I see a dude that can **** but also gets real fat after he throws in addition to being off balance. I see no consistent jab either. Not hating, I think he is a fun action fighter but there should be a limit to how much elite status this guy gets--especially now with his resume.

    Nobody has said that. He's treated like a legit contender. That's what he is.

          I just read a post about how Broner is nobody until he faces a guy like Thurman...plenty more where that came from. and I've seen plenty of posts addressing the overjocking of Thurman.

            Nobody on planet Earth is calling Thurman the next Tommy Hearns.

            Also, no one planet Earth besides a few delusional groupies actually think Broner is THAT good. Its a reasonable expectation for people to want to see Broner test himself against Thurmn. If you really think Broner is on some other level that Thurman isn't the toughest challenge of his life, compared to the bull crap he's faced so far, then you're being delusional as hell.

              I think your overrating Broner bro. He's good but Thurman isn't that far behind so it's not crazy to think Thurman can knock broners head off. Thurman would be his toughest test too.

                  I'll have a lotta respect for him if he gets in there with Guerrero, that would be an excellent fight I think...I like Thurman I just don't like him being a loudmouth but so far he's backed it up...

                    My comment has nothing to do with my judgement on Broner--tho I understand why you would go in that direction this being a chat room. It's simply stating people think too highly of Thurman in my opinion. I can't differentiate who is a groupie or not yet, I just see many lofty comments about Thurman.
