Keith thurman What I think

[Weebler I]

Because they actually beat a B grade opponent

Broner and Berto? gtfoh, hype-job does not equal B-grade, Jan Zaveck would beat both, as would Diego Chaves.

And people REALLY need to stop brushing Chaves under the rug like that was par for the course. It's like people didn't see how much of a problem that guy is.

Look, opponents can make you look good and all, but how do you watch Chaves and not think he's a legit nightmare for a lot of folks at WW? That means you regard Thurman in such low light.

What planet do you live on boy?

Broner's a 3 time world champ whether you wanna call him a hype job or not, maybe he's not ready for welterweight, besides Maidana's resume baring Broner chits all over Thurman's.

Jan Zaveck?

Diego Chaves looks good but who has he beat? No one. Plus they were neck and neck before that KO.

I'm curious why you think that, that's not really the punch that comes to mind that can be easily landed on Floyd, matter fact I've hardly seen him get hit with uppercuts.

floyd is fairly open to left hands in general(although i'd never quite say they are "easily" landed)

i remember hatton snapping his head back a couple of times with a wide left uppercut/up-jab(similar to how thurman throws it, very wide)

also floyd is esspecially vulnerable to the left when you come up from a low stance on him

what's the punch that comes to your mind?

[MR. SIXTY40]

Yeah, he's a little chinny. I'm not going overboard -- I'm not saying he has a bad chin, but he gets clipped a little more often than you'd like to see. As good as his reflexes and defensive instincts are, he's got to be a little more conscientious on defense.

I've only seen him rocked once, and by a looping shot he didn't see coming.

Maidana has a good left feint to the body and switches it upstairs, he crouches down and comes up with that punch.

We learned nothing tonight. Thurman still hasn't been in the ring with a top 10 WW.

I want him vs Alexander next

[sicko]

Fans are so full of it because if a guy is too defensive you complain, if he is aggressive and not afraid to eat punches to get off his punches "HIS DEFENSE SUCKS"

Please....PICK ONE!

Thurman is willing to take a few punches to get off with his Power because he knows him Landing with his Power will do more damage than his opponents will.

Against better competition and guys with more Power I am sure he will clean things up a bit more. But he has shown a pretty good chin so far.

Thurman is not even a hype Job, their is no hype for him just yet. Actually other fighters avoiding him is what is feeding the "HYPE"

Jan Zaveck?

I don't know if Broner's a B-grade welter. Maidana's record at welter isn't great either. It's all very well counting their wins at lower weights, but that counts for nothing when you step up in weight class.

Zaveck was up against Berto (JZ was the champ) it was stopped on cuts from a headbutt. He's a good fighter, as is Chaves but more to the point, they're full welters. Guerrero and Broner were/are just pretending at the weight and Ortiz had like 1 win.
