Comments Thread For: Thurman's On Verge Of Stardom, Says Dan Birmingham

[Motofan]

I've been critical of Keith but he has shown skills and has the right attitude about taking on anyone out there. Win or not. He isn't great, but he is very good and his flaws are what will make him entertaining when he steps up. He will be tested big time and may win some FOTY style fights in the process.

cept no one at welter has power. maybe pac and kell brook. Floyd, Bradley, malignaggi, porter, alexander, guerrero, and broner have nothing to worry Thurman.

Pacquiao doenst have the power to worry Thurman either .

I'm not completely sold on Thurman yet. I find he winds up his punches and is wide open to counters when doing so.

I have a feeling that when he fights anyone with good power and handspeed he is going to get in deep water quickly. Time will tell.

A fighter like Mosley might've been his kryptonite at 147 but he is shot at this point. I don't see any of the other guys having the requisite power and handspeed to beat Thurman. Brook has both but he gets very sloppy after 3 rounds and would need an unlikely early KO.

I'd love to see Provodnikov match up with Thurman at 47.Would make for one hell of a fight . My money lies with Provo

Thurman is deff on his way. Has what it takes not to mention he's a great personality and interview. Fans will grow to like this guy if they don't already

A KO waiting to happen. Mark my words.

I've said this for awhile Thurman's the next superstar of boxing - forget Broner look no further than Keith. - I hope he gets a World Title shot next an I'm sure he will be in the mix for Mayweather in Sept or early 2015. I hope they get him Porter or Maidana next.

I've been saying the exact same thing. I've been telling people for over a year that Thurman has far more in his repertoire than just power. The guy uses great angles, has good footwork for his style, throws great combinations, is always in good position, and he has proven in his last two fights that he is mentally tough and can make sound adjustments in tough fights. The fact that he has elite power in both hands certainly doesn't hurt either.

I've never seen him as ****y and I don't really think anybody does. he never disrespects opponents and has said time and again that anybody can lose on any day. I think he has the charisma and skills to be a real star in the sport.

I would pick Floyd, Manny, and Bradley to beat Thurman right now. I like One Time against everybody else.

Match him up with Maidana, that would be his star-making performance.
