Can a hippy eccentric like Keith Thurman be a boxing star?

[hectari]

Thurman is a unique character in boxing, he doesn't live a world star hip hop life infatuated with status and shallow material things.

He plays the flute every morning, feeds birds, reads books under a tree indian style, rides a moped, bought a Prius, likes to meditate for at least and hour a day, doesn't drink or do drugs.

Will this type of guy be able to be a star in boxing or would he be to weird to have a fanbase?

[General STRUGG]

yes he will. Thurman is well grounded. keith is gonna be a star post mayweather/pacquiao.

[VatoMulatto]

....and don't forget his "lisp". That lisp is part of his personality. Market him the right way and he could definitely be a big star.

[wenceslao]

he is already a star, the best at 147, he whoops floyd and manny

[Dr Rumack]

If he kept knocking motherfuckers out Chandler Bing could be a boxing star.

[Scipio2009]

As long as he keeps talking that talk, and coming to push for stoppages, he'll be fine.

Thurman is the type of star that could thrive on that primetime PBC stage; unlike Broner, who seems unwilling to clean up the act all that much, let alone push a fight.

[SeekDaGreat]

As long as he keeps dropping these alleged top welterweights. He will become a star.

I think so, I never knew he was that much of a hippie though

[Psylence83]

Yes he can. He is fairly well grounded and conducts himself well In the spotlight. I actually find him really funny the way he speaks in interviews etc etc.

Oh and lets not forget his boxing ability!!!

[ИATAS]

I refuse to believe he doesn't smoke herb.
