These are numbers from his last 4 fights, how many other fighters can produce consistently impressive numbers like that?

If he hadn't been unlucky with injuries and been more active over the past couple years, he would be a full-fledged superstar imo.

Dont duck me thun

Because dumb ****s keep saying Thurman has a weak body when he took the body shots against Collazo and Porter and won those fights. Indongo has a weak body. Keep sleeping on Keith

He has a lisp and talks like a weirdo, that may prevent him from getting mainstream stardom.

He's a good fighter though but sometimes that isn't enough.

This weak to the body talk is crazy, time and time again we've seen fighters fold after taking a clean shot to the liver, it's the most devastating shot in boxing. The one Collazo landed on Thurman was from a southpaw stance, meaning Collazo got more leverage on his shot with his left hand. On top of that, it was a shot Keith didn't see, Collazo slipped a right hand and countered beautifully.

Floyd says **** that pisses people off and gets attention. Tyson had a lisp but was entertaining and clear about how he's **** you till u loved him and **** like that.

People relate to that or hate it but listen to it.

Thurman rambles on like a weirdo, jacked on caffeine or something.

yeah because losing a fight or two means you can't be a star. if you keep fighting top guys, somebody is going to beat you sooner or later. that's boxing for ya brother
