What would it take to reach Thurman level?

[rickJen]

Any single name among the current fighters
that would reach that level regardless of personality, charm, etc.
Just simple things like fighting 3 times a year.
Doesn't have to win all the time.
Like fans just love seeing him back in the ring.

It'd take about 3 good wins against past it opposition with a little name recognition.

As long as it would take place in one year.
It doesn't matter.
1-2 fights a year against nobodies won't cut the mustard.

[rickJen]

A lot of them could reach that level, IMHO.
IF only they are seen often.
It's always been a case of now you see them, now you don't.
There's no consistency, thus it becomes hard to maintain fans consistently.

[rickJen]

Any more fighters you can name who got the potential of reaching at least Thurman-level popularity?
It's not even about being undefeated.
Loma is Thurman-level, for example, though he's not undefeated.
Crawford is Thurman-level, Spence reached that level by just beating Brook.
Why can't the Charlo brothers, for instance, reach that level despite being in the sport for a long time now?

[rickJen]

Lubin could get near that level by beating Charlo, imho.
But I have great doubts the fight is even competitive in favor of Jermell.

Thurman is highly overrated and has 1-2 solid wins. The Porter win without question his best win. Don't see him beating Manny, Horn, Spence, Brook, TC, and I've even favor Mikey to beat Thurman. There are probably other WW'S I can't think of.

I'm just not high on the guy at all. Very limited

Can't beat nobody Horn, washed up Manny, and one eyed quitter Brook? lmao hater alert. Thurman crushes them all. Spence and Crawford as toss ups.

Fight once every 18 months.

[rickJen]

The Charlo brothers have been around probably longer than Thurman.
Why can't they reach Thurman-level popularity?
