Keith was more offensive minded as well and executed a completely different gameplan than Floyd but Floyd dominated Guerrero and only had to resort to his defensive maneuvers.

    Thurman may have more power than Floyd but they both fight completely different. They may have won their fights against Guerrero but went about it two completely different ways and at the end of it all, Floyd may have not looked as impressive because of his defensive style, but he beat Guerrero more soundly and with no troubles whatsoever.
    I didn't say Floyd didn't win the fight soundly, just that Thurman did it better. Sure, better could be subjective.

    You're not making sense with your correlation to accuracy. He landed more, THAT is what matters.

      Damn Floyd always finishes last.

      Pacquiao's Mosley, Hatton, Delahoya win was better than Floyds.

      Margarito's, Cotto win was better than Floyds.

      Luiz Collazos, Ortiz win was better than Floyds.

      It just never ends with you guys.

        Well, he's boring. That's the price you pay when you don't fight to entertain the fans. You finish last.

        If Floyd had a career full of Maidana 1 type fights I bet you the rhetoric would be different. Plain and simple.

              Whoa whoa whoa, this is not a thread to hate on Floyd. This is just a thread highlighting how good Thurman really is and how good he is going to become on his current trajectory.

              I don't want this thread to be about Floyd, I was just using him as a measuring stick considering he's in the top 2 of this era (May 2nd proves who is #1 and #2).

                  Well, we are comparing a counter puncher to a supposed "one time" Ko Puncher.

                  So I would think the counter puncher would be boring.

                      Yet he finished the fight and won a few rounds by forcing Thurman against the ropes. Thurman was also a middleweight on fight night as well.
