    Thurman is far more selective than Khan when it comes to picking his spots and changing his arsenal of punches, even changing speed, on top of that you will never see Thurman finishing off a combination whilst off balance or squaring up the way Khan does.

    I admit though, I do see instances where Thurman looks vulnerable especially to a good counter puncher but his ability to regroup, roll shots and pull out separate him from reckless fighters like Khan.

      start paying attention at 2:43(round time)


      smacked at 2:41, notice the jerky leg, awkward bounce away, defense suffering, whatever cotto throws hits the mark, slow and very weak

      takes some obstruction to not see it
      I watched the round before you even came back and posted it. Wasn't hurt nor wobbled, he quickly pressed the attack right after.

          So you were making threats like this about Pac when he was considered P4P#1 by many??

            I said quick to press, he went defensive against Corley after he was hurt with the right hook, he held on when Mosley caught him big. You still make somewhat of a valid point though, still doesn't hold credence to Cotto hurting him which is an overstatement.

                but the left hand that did more damage earlier in the fight he fought back, he doesn't like to give away that he's hurt, corley pushed him to the ropes when he hit him with the right and he played along, he's safer there he feels anyway

                he held onto mosley like he held onto judah when they did that spin move, he's a natural athlete and they know what they need to balance themselves, you can see as soon as mosley hurts him he's very adamant about not letting mosley push him back and is immediately trying to push him back

                    you need to stop being so biased, after that left hook you can see him falling onto chaves and he's basically doing the worm upright, it's all in the legs

                      Corley wobbled him there, he did come back which is why I said you do make somewhat of a valid point. There you can clearly see that he was wobbled, he did the dance.

                      What your showing me though with Cotto and Chavez, that's an overstatement.
