    Why has Thurman's stock fallen?

    Just a year ago he was the boogeymen of the division..the one people were ducking and the one man who could beat Mayweather...now all the sudden people are laughing and mocking him...why?

    The fanboys like brawlers. Keith started fighting smarter beginning with Bundu and that turns off half of Boxing Scene.

      the time off hasn't helped, that's for sure, you have to stay in the face of the viewing public to create the demand to keep them wanting more when you do have the time off, Thurman hasn't reached that point yet.

        Fans are fickle. Out of sight, out of mind. I can get behind people criticizing a boxer for a number of things but turning on him because he's inactive is something I never understood. You can see the way the hype waves roll in here. If GGG has a fight, for the next month he's clearing out everybody in history in hypothetical matchups. Chocolito has a fight, he's P4P #1 for two weeks until everyone forgets about him again. Kov has a fight and he's in contention for GOAT.

        That's the entertainment business I guess...

                  He stopped getting stoppages and his recent inactivity.

                  Joel Diaz- stayed in corner
                  Leonard Bundu- decision
                  Ghost Guerrero- decision
                  Collazo- stayed in corner

                  If he stops Porter the Thurman Train gets rolling again

                    Because boxing fans are POS and look for any reason to discredit fighters

                    So now he's run time baecause he went the distance a couple times and showed he was human when Collazo landed a decent body shot let's forget that in those 3 fights he's list maybe 2-3 rounds
