Comments Thread For: Lopez: Thurman is '1' at 147? Then Give Me 2 Through 5!

Wouldn’t be surprised if May quickly comes out of retirement to fight a very rusty Thurman

We obviously have a different definition of what athleticism means. To me it needs no explaining at all, Broner is athletic. Now his right IQ and strategy/tactics are another story....

Apparently it does need explaining. At the top of the apex lets take a fighter like Ali or Jones. Both guys can do things with their body that others cannot do. They can move faster, react faster...that is athletic ability. the greatest fighter to many Sugar Ray Robinson could knock you out punching while moving bacwards, that is athletic ability. A fighter like Archie Moore or Charlie Burley were very efficient. They knew angles, set traps, moved fluidly, and did not depend on being very athletic.

Pacman is athletic, he moves in straight lines but is fast enough not to get caught on those lines with a counter. So I don't know what is athletic about Broner. Fighters are considered athletes but also they are fighters. Some have athletic ability more than others. It does not mean they are better, or worse, necessarily.

Lopez loses to all of them, they probably stop him too

Porter vs Lopez let's make it happen.....

I think Porter vs Lopez would be an action fight for sure. Both guys never let up. I would definitely be a war for ever how long it last.
