Thurman's power is a myth.

[mlac]

agree

he KO'd sub par opposition and was ' one time'

he steps up and guess what?

the KO's completely disappear.

[koolkc107]

They're just used to seeing guys get KO's in a **** division.

Shyt division?

Hard pressed to point to a division with more top level talent than 147.

And if Crawford moves up it will only get better.

[The Akbar One]

Once again, Danny proved that by walking into shots without problem, taking every flush right hand that is legal in the rule book and Thurman didn't even knock him down. No matter how much he telegraph his punches he just didn't carry enough power. I don't even think he can beat PAC or beat PAC or Floyd even at the twilight of their careers, and bradley debatable also.

I disagree, there was a reason Garcia was so tentative. That one shot in the first round turned Garcia all the way backwards after it landed.

Now I will say that Thurman's power is a little over rated. He does hit hard though. He seemed to stagger Garcia in that first. He staggered Porter as well when they fought. People have to remember. Thurman is a small welter. He is 5'7 1/2 max. He has good enough feet to beat Pac. I think it would be a good fight. He has good enough feet to give a 40 year old Floyd problems too. Bradley would be the one in my opinion that could give Thurman some issues, due to the style matchup.

Almost all of whom are 140 lbers moving up and have already been knocked down before. DSG and Porter have grade A chins. Thurman has just as much power as all the other top welters, but his non aggressive game plans reduce his ko's. The shots he dished to DSG in rd 1 would stop or ko most of the guys Manny has knocked down!

DSG is a 140 who moved up you twit. Guerrero was a Super featherweight who moved up all the way to welterweight and thurman can't KO him. Bundu, lol.

Reading comprehension requires you to read the entire post. Dsg has never been kd, Porter once while at a catchweight. Vargas, bradley, Algieri have been kd before. What happened when pac fought a fighter with a grade A chin in Rios. Did he knock him down? All I'm saying is not knocking down DSG is not an indictment on Keith's power! So please relax with the "twit" stuff and don't be so emo

It's easy to say who has grade A chins just for the sake of crediting. Thurman can't even beat Bradley I would presume judging how horrible he looks at telegraphing his punches, much less knocking Vargas out.

You didn't catch my meaning.

I was talking about 160

I know damn well 147 ain't a **** division

Garcia is famous for his good chin. Nobody has ever knocked him down. Matthysse is maybe the best puncher at 140 and he landed bombs on Garcia and couldn't knock Garcia down. Thurman is only 7 pounds heavier than Matthysse. Why would his failure to drop Garcia show a lack of punching power? He clearly hurt Garcia numerous times during the fight but Garcia has quick recovery. Thurman has KOed lots of tough fighters. His punching power is real and no myth as his KO victims would tell you.

Okay. If that's how you feel. I agree keith should have ko'd Bundu, but I also feel Pac should've ko'd Algieri. I believe Keith does ko Vargas, but probably not Bradley. Also also don't think pac drops Danny or Porter. I think Thurman has KO power, but Manny's power is different and is one that bludgeons fighters to a tko or just drops, but not hurts them.
