    He almost got KOed cherry piked mediocre Lopez. I have no faith in him anymore. I think his best days are long gone.

      Good points. Only certain guys are required to fight in a way that helps the other guy win.

        ZERO problem with Thurman Style!

        He been blessed with Speed and Good Footwork to get himself out of Trouble, he would be ****** not to use it to his advantage. Undefeated, World Champion and considered one of the best at Welterweight in his ERA. Thurman doesn't need to change ANYTHING and the last thing he should do is take advice from us common folks who NEVER BOXED! Just being honest

          He is a runner on defense, mainly because i believe he believes that is a low risk option compared to staying in the pocket too long or holding / spoiling.

          He changed his style because he had to stay competitive, so a smart decision if you like.
          this is pretty accurate. can't rely on power at an elite level.

            His style has evolved both mentally and physically, I said this a couple of days ago. He knows he can’t “one time “ the guys at this level, so he literally uses a lot of movement these days especially when he is hurt.

                  He relies too much on his footwork. Keiths got no head movement and he can't fight on the inside. I have an inkling current Manny might be a good matchup for him stylistically, but he gets his ass beat by Spence or Crawford

                    I don't have issues with Thurman's style, although he can move a bit much at times. I would love to see him slip and counter while holding his ground a little more because I think it'd allow him to conserve more energy.
