Thurman should count his lucky stars the Maidana fight never happened

[FrankieBruno]

some of my brothers might disagree but thurman best win chaves was basically exposed as a softie against rios. he took a big shot from thurman man but made no attempt to get up, dude basically quit.

and soto karass well we know maidana softened him up big time .

basically thurman doesnt really have a good win, he just looks kinda good doing what he does. im not fooled though.


haymon will try to make former margarito victim ortiz look like some beast killer on the level of a maidana ....as the substitute to the actual maidana.

if u wanna talk about maidana and thurman in the same sentence well then he better fight alexander

Everytime Maidana has stepped in the ring with a quality boxer Khan, Devon, Kotelnik, Floyd....he has lost

Thurmann hasnt had the chance to fight quality boxers, but i bet he cud give at least 3 of the guys Maidana lost too, a run for their money

You have to look at the Thurman who Maidana would of fought not Thurman of present before this fight had been discussed he'd never fought above a D-level I saw his fight against Lora who ended up being his opponent and was not that impressed he was getting pushed back a ton didn't look as sharp as he has shown since.

Maidana also was growing into WW and not solidified so it's a toss up what would of happened could see either guy getting stopped.

It also wasn't a duck still don't see how you can duck a complete nobody at the time, teams reject fights all the time nothing new about that.

Thurman's so-called suspect chin is so exaggerated, he got shook up vs Karass but it's not like he was wobbling around the ring hanging on for survival.

This is boxing, getting rocked doesn't automatically mean you have a bad chin.

I can just picture the slow motion of Thurman landing a bodyshot on that fleshy midsection of Marcos.

Exactly who has Maidana knocked unconscious?

There's a shelf in Chino's house back in Argentina. There's several little bottles where he keeps the soul of every boxer he ever fought. Sometimes late at night, you can still hear Khan's wife cry...

[Ray*]

Is that why him and his team wasnt too keen on the fight? Because they were afraid they would knock out Thurman?

[FerFAL]

Thurman came close to getting KTFO by Deigo Chaves. If Chaves had 1/2 the conditioning Maidana has, you'd still be picking pieces of Thurman off the canvas. He should be thanking Chino that he didnt fight him back then, not bichin about it.

[RowdyMind]

Doesnt matter who they both have fought, truth is at the time Maidana & his team wanted no parts of Thurman
