      Thurman built his reputation as a bogeyman and a lot of people bought into it, including me.

      But once he got a title his whole approach changed significantly, yes he had injuries but what fighter doesn't?

      It is clear to see from his recent fights that he is declining much faster than even Manny.

      His bravado is a bit cringeworthy as well, people liked him humble and chilled but he comes across arrogant and triggered nowadays.

              Thurman's "previous injuries" are a joke of the past now. Seriously, arthroscopic surgery on his elbow - out for a year. Bruised hand - out for nearly another year because of that?

              WTF? He was using it as a way to avoid Spence, just as he is basically saying no to any fight after Pacquiao, until 2020. Sick of that punk. I sure as hell won't bet on it, but Hope Manny wins.

                Thurman couldn't stop Lopez, who has like no defense. I will crap my pants if he stops the Pac man lol.

                  Remember when Thurman and Maidana were supposed to fight? I kinda wish that went down. Would have been an interdesting fight at the time.

                    He used to be for sure. I'd like to see him against Spence or Crawford to see if he still is.
