In other words, if you think his bike the other night was fast his bike in 2015 is even faster.

Pretty obvious mayweather was working out a deal with maidana around the time thurman said maidana ducked him.Throw that bs out the window.Anyone who thinks thurmans chin will hold up against maidana is delusional.

His new nickname is Keith "Run Time" Thurman. Blowhard, injury prone, Al Haymon hype job that has two gears counter punch and run. Milk it for all it's worth buddy until eventually you too will get exposed and those paychecks will start shrinking.

The guy was walking forward the whole fight though, it's not as he was in survival mode.

this, he even got KD because of it, he was chasing thurman all night, if he was in survival mode it would've been the other way around

maidana was looking for an opponent after he lost to devon alexander. GBP brought up thurman, they signed the fight, and when maidana's team saw a video on thurman, they pulled out of the fight claiming that thurman has "too many kos". Also, if maidana just came off of a loss, why would floyd even be "working out a deal"?

What's your source for any of this? From googling I can't find any article stating that a Thurman-Maidana fight was ever signed, let alone that Maidana pulled out because "Thurman has too many KOs."

You promise Keith? Action speaks louder than words, unless those words are "BOOOOOOOOO", coming from the crowd.

this dude goes on and on and on about knockouts and how no one can go 12 with him and not taking a step backwards steps i mean honestly if it wasnt for that people would not be saying nothing. It just cracks me up when a kid with power comes around everyone acts like they are the new boogie man and everyone falls for4 the everyone is ducking me crap

There are known and documented instances of some fighters ducking him. Most notably Maidana.

He needs to move back up to 154.

WTF is this? He was never at 154. He's a welterweight, he makes the weight comfortably.

The fight was signed, HBO was even advertising it. If i remember correctly. The graphics and everything had already been made.

But I don't think Maidana pulled out because Thurman had too many KOs but rather that Thurman had fought at 154lbs and was consider high risk very low reward type of fight.
