It's not misleading anything at all. Soto Karass beat the hell out of Berto.. that's a fact. Go watch the fight. Thurman beat the hell out of Soto Karass.. Another fact. Go watch that too.

So you believe in triangle theories now?? Thats a no-no

If thats true its nice to see more fans of boxing and not just the particular fighters. This place is loaded with uneducated fanboys.

That's why I rarely post here lol.. We're having healthy convo though so you guys have my attention.

A triangle theory is bad enough but Berto was clearly injured badly.

Not really.. I believe that styles make fights and Keith Thurman's style presents a challenge to Floyd that we having seen in a while. A young dynamic fighter with KO power, legit speed, solid technique and a good boxing IQ. What's not to like about that fight?

Bertos shoulder popped and showed his heart in that fight by continuing until the end, but ill bet you right now berto would beat karrass in a rematch..

Ya I seen the fight , it was misleading. I think Berto can beat Soto Karass.

That may be true, but injuries happen.. Floyd hurt his shoulder against Castillo, Bradley hurt his leg in each of the Pac fights and there are many other examples and tbh I could go on and on. Getting through a fight with an injury is what separates the strong from the weak.

It would be a good test, but thurman is still green we have to see him in their with an established top 10 guy to see how he reacts and how he preforms before we can say he is a legite threat to mayweather....you ever hear the term too much too soon?

I get what your saying , I just pointing out its not a good comparison. For all we know Thurman might of lost given the same injury.

This is why I think Wilder is screwed. Too much too soon. Huge jump in competition can ruin careers, better to test yourself with tough fights that slowly get harder with time.
