    Nope.

    I remember when he was being sold as this powerhouse hence the name "One Time", who'd knock everybody out, but then stopped knocking people out the moment he stepped up in class.

    I thought the Porter fight could've gone either way and yeah, he beat Danny Garcia good, but he was supposed to do that.

    I just don't see where everybody's seeing this great fighter.

    He's okay, but I think Crawford & Spence both eat his lunch and Shawn Porter may very well wrestle and headbutt his way to a rematch victory

      I'm a Thurman fan. Haven't been thinking much about him lately though. It's been frustrating waiting for him to return to the ring.

        Exactly my thoughts, but it’d be totally fun to have him back around. Imo his career was just unfolding, i don’t understand the “he lost his motivation because he achieved bla bla bla” nahh he has not achieved much yet

          Meh Not me. I was never blown away by him and his style of fighting. He is like a poor man’s David Haye in his prime. He is fast but he runs alot without purpose. He doesnt have good footwork despite his speed. He uses running as defense cuz he lacks defensive ability.

          Naw stay retired

              The hardest thing is staying at the top. Getting there is the easiest bit. Mayweather, Wlad Klit had the right motivation and thats why they lasted so long when we had people challenging them.

              It's easy when you are on the outside looking in, once you are in then you would soon realise that you are the target for everyone. Everyone wants to call you out, you are the coward for not responding etc.

              Thurman did that to Paulie M, and now look at him, David Haye did that to Wlad and countless of people did that to Mayweather. Staying at the top shows a different mental strength.

                Doesn't fight as well as he talks but I can't help but like the guy. It'll be good to see him back on the mix

                  People bashing Thurman for "losing power" as he stepped up, what do you expect? If anything, Thurman has showed many sides to his game, being able to box and ****. Out of all the top Welterweights I'd say he's shown the better boxing ability of them all.
