Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman: Watching Mayweather is 80-90% Boring

[Divine Hammer]

Or Maidana just is a stylistic nightmare for him and is severely underrated on many levels. Floyd hasn't lost a step, and when this rivalry with Chino is over he will go back to sweeping opponents on the cards. Mark my words.

Maidana isn't very good. He is a slow limited brawler with half decent boxing ability. He is just slightly better than guerrero and rios. Plus he hasn't changed much at all since his fight with Alexander and is definitely past prime and war torn too.

Only reason maidana did good against Floyd is because Floyd struggles against pressure fighters who throw from awkward and weird angles which is why he avoided pacquiao.

One Time is right

Floyd's the only fighter I know of to have a major A-List celebrity/sports athlete leave the arena during a fight.

And it was Tiger Woods during the Baldomir fight. Tiger was like **** this ****

It was Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley but this is your story. But you forgot to mention they did at least attend. Can we say the same for your main man? Don't remember these "A" list athletes being any where in that live gate for Manny.

Mayweather doesnt like fighting pressure fighters. Thats why he ducked margarito.

Man I can't wait till this guy's block gets knocked around. It won't be long, I mean the kid almost got KTFO by a plodder in Soto Karass. What a bunch of ignorance he's spewing.

Floyd just can't handle the pressure....which is why he ducked Manny Pacquiao. Manny is faster and hits harder than Maidana. Much faster and much harder. Can't see Floyd lasting more than 4 rounds with Pacquiao based on what Maidana did to him

Difference between Pac and Maidana is if you hit PAC he stops being aggressive (see JMM) that's why their fights are always close. PAC starts to try and think and we all know that's not his strong suit.

I thought everyone already agreed Mayweather is a boring fighter.

Like, even his own hardcore fans admit he's boring to watch and say he's a "businessman*, not an entertainer" and crap like that.

How come now it's controversial when Thurman says it?

So you're psychic? Because that would be the only way you would know for certain.

I think it safe to assume that you are not pyschic so Im going with the assumption that people are paying their hard earn $70 dollars to see I don't know...a boxing match.

The highest ppv's that mayweather has had, he fought HISPANIC fighters who already had a huge following.

[bigjavi973]

Most people say that?

Thurman has beaten at least two former world champions, he can't beat a current one until they give him a shot - and he's currently Floyd's mandatory.

Floyd wont fight his mandatory.

I'm sorry One Time, ...maybe boxing isn't for you. It seems that mixed martial arts is something that will better fit you cup of tea instead of the sweet science.


If TBE is so boring, how come all of his PPV do 800,000 homes minimum. People are not going to keep coming back for more if he is completely boring.

You Must be a youngster !! Too young to remember the days of Cassius Clay and everyone came to his fights to see him destroyed ??

Well youngun the only reason 90 percent of the people watch Jr is to see him get KO'd. Everyone knows its coming and its sooner rather than later and they don't want to miss the show.
