    His resume at 140 is enough to have him in the top 10, easily IMO

      lol it's ridiculous how much Thurman's chin is being questioned.

      He wasn't even remotely hurt at any stage in the Diaz fight.

      He took numerous bombs from Chaves who's a serious puncher and wasn't seriously hurt at any stage.

      Against Soto Karass he got caught with a huge right he didn't see coming and imo he was off balance rather than hurt, if you watch the replay carefully you'll see what I mean. He takes an awkward step forward and looks off balance. He put his hands down straight after that and invited more pressure, that's not a sign of somebody who's hurt...

      Thurman is an offensive fighter, he's going to get caught with big shots from time to time, his chin seems fine to me.

        Porter has a mandatory. Thurman will just have to wait his turn.
        He would gain money and a name on his resume. It's better than sitting on your backside and waiting for some bum opponent to be offered to you, no?

        Porter could've fought Thurman instead of Pauli. He turned it down.

          Neither Bradley nor Provodnikov are overrated. Thurman is more overrated than those guys. Maidana might be a little overrated, but before the Broner win he was underrated.

            I can't really rate his chin, haven't seem him in enough tough sistuations.
            But if that last punch big punch thrown from Diaz didn't make Keith a little standoffish, ur fooling urself.

            But like you said, he's offensive, and its gonna be normal for him to run into big shots.

              Thurman is very hittable. He may get away with that against fighters like Diaz and Chaves, but he'll hit the deck when he steps up in competition.

                Which offensive fighter isn't hittable?

                Chaves has got power.

                And Diaz is no bum, he gave Khan and Porter very tough fights recently.

                  But never the less it was a impressive win.
                  I literally re watched the fight 30 minutes ago. I didn't see him being stunned. I saw him being crowded.

                    Bingo. And the scary part is, he doesn't really get tagged that often. The Chaves fight was an outlier. Chaves is a monster @ WW.
