Comments Thread For: Thurman Explains His Strategy To Beat Floyd Mayweather

[Larry the boss]

Guerrero was his best opponent up to date and he handled him with ease. So why after the Guerrero fight?

ease?? he went to the hospital after that fight and not for a mandatory check up

[FeFist]

There really is no risk because he possess no threat, he also has no fanbase or a cult following, his resume is not up to scratch and there is no way or no point in seeking a fight with Mayweather.

By the 4th round he would have that, "Welp, that didn't work," look on his face.

Part of why Floyd is so dominant is because people over think one thing. They go into the exam preparing to answer one question when there are 59 more.

"I thought you would stand and fight."
"He still has his legs."

Were some of the things actual trainers said after the fight. What the fuck were they training their fighters for? Trying to take away the pull counter? Trying to negate the shoulder roll?

It's like they don't realise that Mayweather is aware of how his strengths are counteracted and worked on the necessary alternatives.

Handled him with ease is a pretty big exaggeration. They both landed bombs all night Thurman just kept landing the harder ones. And Guerrero is really not that good.

Thurman's style isn't really anything Floyd won't have seen before, a guy trying to hit him with a big hook and missing/getting countered with straights over and over.

No he can not why??

1-HE IS SLOPPY AND INACCURATE

2-HIS FOOT WORK IS TERRIBLE

3-HIS CHIN IS TRASH AND PANICS WHEN HE IS HURT AND HIS ALREADY LEAKY DEFENSE GETS EVEN WORSE

4-HIS BOXING IQ IS TERRIBLE

5-HE HAS NO REAL POWER IN HIS PUNCHES


HE IS ALLL SPEED(WHICH IS OVERRATED)AND NO SUBSTANCE

Yep. I used to think otherwise, but at this point it's painfully obvious that the above is true regarding Khan.

He went to hospital because of the hematoma, caused from a head clash. It was a very easy fight for Thurman.

And contrary to popular opinion, Guerrero isn't Thurman's best win, Chaves is.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

I remember Thurman saying before that he's been studying Mayweather's techniques. I'd love to see him get a shot at Floyd. He's been hyped up as a possible opponent every since before the first Maidana fight.

Even though he'll most likely get robbed, I can definitely see Thurman beating Mayweather.

Only way to beat Floyd is to go in there and straight ra.pe him...full out sexually assault him...the only strategy that hasnt been applied

Don't come here with that garbage. You and everyone else knows that the only damage Keith received in that fight was from a very blatant headbutt.

Lets hear it. Floyd is ducking Thurman........

I spent my night looking at two past fights

1. Mayweather vs. Cotto
2. Mayweather vs. Canelo

I can put my head on a block that no one between 140 and 154 beats Floyd.
People are about to go crazy to see Cotto vs Canelo but they are not remembering how easily Floyd took both of them apart. Neither Cotto or Canelo are asking for a rematch and there is a good reason for not asking for it.
I hope he gives Amir Khan a chance in September so that the world can see that Amir Khan is not as good as many feel.
