Here was Thurman's reaction to all the people saying Golovkin is afraid of Ward
Keith Thurman WARD WARD WARD, that's another weight class. It wouldn't be fair if it was to ward fighting Stevenson or someone from a higher weight class.... Unlike · Reply · 3 · 13 mins ·
He's one of those types who thinks fans of everyone else dont know boxing because they dont like the Laras, Rigos, Floyds, BHops, Wards, etc. Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Actually, I'm not. I'm a guy that appreciates the best, no matter how they accomplish it. And in my time as a fight fan. The best, have usually been the "boring" guys. That's my only beef with a lotta so called fight fans. Most have no issues with GGG being willing to fight anyone within an earshot of middleweight but Ward. Many of you would be very happy if Rigo wad nevet on TV again. And those are probably the best two fighters in yhe world. I don't see how you can be a fan of a sport and not wanna see the best.
Cotto is probably going to fight Canelo in May. I'd say GGG should focus his efforts on getting Chavez Jr. in the ring with him. Maybe the winner of Stieglitz/Sturm.

Agree. I have been following the sport for long time including my few years boxing as an amateur and my preference is for action filled type of combats. I don't like to watch Cuban style fights or clinching/holding boring bouts. I know moving a lot and holding requires athleticism but to exchange blows in epic battles requires big bravery and I have more appreciation for the last one.
Oscar and JMM are two completely different fighters. Your post is invalid. He tried to be under control in the third fight and got thoroughly outboxed for large stretched of the fight. The fact you think a Pacquiao "under control " ko's Marquez speaks badly about your boxing intellect. The closest he came to the ko was the first fight, that version of Pacquiao was anything but under control.
Pac was very much under control following the KD in the 3rd. And I don't know what fight you wete watching, but Pac wasn't being outboxed at all. JMM was doing anything but sitting back waiting for the big punch. Pac got excited after dropping JMM and paid the price for it.
