    Weebler I see where you're coming from but i'm still not convinced people are ducking him like its made out. I didn't say Danny was a KO artist I just stated he has proved many people including myself time and time again that he is underrated. His fathers big mouth takes away the shine from his achievements.

    I guess it's just a matter of opinion and thats why we like to discuss the matter. I see Thurman as a slightly better Kell Brook with the power in his favour.

          I think Thurman is getting the right amount of hype. People see what he's capable of-he has good boxing skills (needs to fine tune and tighten his defense) and good power, with decent speed.

          He shows great potential with enough room for improvement to show he is a real contender. If he keeps stepping it up like he has and has wanted to, then even more hype can be justified. We just have to sit back and see who wants to fight him to give himself the opportunity to live up to expectations. He is high risk and low reward-it's usually these type of fighters that will receive a degree of hype-Paul Williams was a good example of this.

                One time has a lot of flaws but h is being brought up the right way. He almost fr out on que er st in his last fight but recovered fast and won. I like the dude but I'm. NOT sold on him just yet. And when he loses cause he will he won't be considered a bum it hype machine in my book

                  I'm still not believing in the Thurman hype yet. He has to show me more. I just don't see it as of yet.

                    He's an explosive fighter with power but yeah, I'm not too impressed so far. The guy he fought before Soto Karass was handling him at times.
