Comments Thread For: Is This Version of Keith Thurman as Good as The Previous One?

Thurman

Yes, Pacquiao would be the obvious fight for Thurman right now, so let them make it. The fight would be a big payday for both fighters, and isn't that the goal?They are prettymuch on even terms right now. Or would you rather he picked a fight with someone who would kick his ass without question? If so, you're a moron.

I didn't see a fighter that was rusty....I saw a fighter that was done, he is finished, he doesn't want to be in that ring anymore.

I don't think he was every that good.

I’d say Thurman earned this fight with the PACman at this juncture of his career PAC also deserves this fight to unify at this stage rather than fighting Horn & the likes.

Yeah Thurman was passed over for years by Malignaggi, Maidana, Mayweather, & Khan. Hell even Guerrero tried to duck Keith so at this stage of his career if he can make 5M fighting a legend on PPV I’m good with that.

Run Time used to be a great offensive fighter, now he's the king of the moonwalk. He gets buzzed surprisingly easy but to his credit he rides it out with good skills. He needs to get us believing again.

Josesito Lopez vs Brandon Rios!
Battle of the punching bags!

I think that would be a good fight.

Thurman has NEVER been elite. Ever. He has been way beatable but the class of fighters he is with, i.e. Porter and Garcia could beat him any given day. Spence and Crawford will dominate him.
He would never have survived Mayweather, Pac Man, Morales and Berrera or ODLH on their worst day and he at his best. He is a windbag.

You are out of your GOD DAMNED MIND

I'd favor Pac over Thurman even before his injuries.

I just think Pac doesn't mesh well with Thurman's style. Thurmans approach will be to avoid exchanges with Pac. I never put much into the belief that Manny had lost a step rather his opposition comes in wary of his speed and power. Pac by lackluster decision due to an opponent who is reluctant to trade.

It was one fight after 22 months, give the guy a break. Mikey was out for nearly 3 years and looked rusty in the first rounds against Rojas. Now he's back on top fighting Spence and no one's talking about his layoff. Give Thurman a chance. What him in his next fight because that one will be an even better indicator of where Keith Thurman is at.
