Does anyone feel Thurman will actually be a disappointment when he steps up?

    Look up my previous posts about Thurman. I said I wasn't impressed and wasn't sold.



    line him up with another C level fighter, that's where he belongs.

      Thurman is the one that guaranteed a KO. You build up people expectations you best deliver. You try to act like a hardass and then fail, extremely over rated fighter this one. And man, the crowd really tore him a new one. LOL at Thurman getting more and more nervous, first apologizing then getting angry and defensive.

      It just proves Thurman isn't a welter GGG. Thurman should fight Alexander next. I think he would lose that fight.

        Not the KO ratio, but his mouth.

        He calls out Floyd.

        He said if he KO's Bundu in 4 he will fight Khan...

              My words in a thread talking about Thurman annihilating Provodnikov: Based on what?

              My responses to demands that Pacquaio "stup up" to Thurman: His best win is worse than Algieri's.

              He has a style kind of reminiscent of Haye and Groves, looks very athletic and flashy, but usually doesn't stand the test of time.

                I'm not sure about Thurman knocking Marquez out but I do think Thurman can outbox.

                Thurman said he aims for the KO but when he did guarantee it? Besides, after the fight, he made it clear that he pick and chooses how he wins.

                I think that's just what you want to happen.

                  Chaves and Bundu are better than Provodnikov

                    He should fight Brook next, it would be a great matchup n winner should be crowned in the mix of the elite in welter division

                    Maidana, Thurman, Brooks, n if Garcia moves up should a mix

                    Khan should fight Floyd or Manny next its his last chance n hes lookin decent again

                      I swear none of these people ripping on Thurman have ever watched him fight. That's how he always fights, with lots of movement, looking for counter punching opportunities. He only goes wild when he has his opponent hurt or if he's responding after eating a good punch. Bundu was never hurt.

                      Fights like this happen to everyone. They're good learning experiences. No one is Mayweather or Pacquiao in 20 fights, not even Mayweather and Pacquiao.
                      I know. I don't know why people expect him to be this one-dimensional puncher. He's a boxer-puncher as he says himself. In fact, a performance like this makes me a bigger believer than I was before - even though I was a big believer before too. He showed good skills, power, he was mixing it up and had good stamina all the way through. He was coming off a layoff and still didn't really show any ring rust.

                      He could have been a little more aggressive like he was in the Soto-karass fight, but even in that fight he was boxing and moving too.

                      Along with Brook, he's really the only boxer-puncher in the welterweight division and we need more of those. Erroll Spence is also of that mould.

                      That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He dominated every second of that fight.
