    Is keith Thurman a cool cat outside of the ring?

    Soo i've been watching a lot Thurman vids recently, and I have seen a lot of youtube comments That say that hes ****head outside of the ring ( refusing to sign sigs, not taking photos with fans etc.. etc..) Has anyone here actually met the man in real life and what was your experience.

      Why would You bother a guy - when You know He's bothered constantly whenever He goes - to get some ****** signature?
      That's good for kids up to age 10.
      Part of being a SPorts start. Don't forget he's a millionaire because we watch him fight

        Never met him but maybe he just likes to fight and not too bothered about all the fame that goes with it. He doesn’t seem to live a flashy life and out there trying to be noticed and chase fame.

          I met Thurman a couple years back .
          He's actually pretty cool .
          Took pics , talked boxing and thanked us for our support .
          He looked a little husky though .

            What videos? I only watch the interviews Keith does on FS1 shows & the pre-fight conferences. I never seen any comments like that about his outside persona

              Seems like he went from being chill AF to angry and tense after he got married.

                LOL you think? Is that just the Manny hype/buildup stuff or has that been going on? I've obviously noticed him turning up the heat for Manny, but haven't noticed anything previous to that. Then again I'm about Thurman'd out admittedly so til this Manny fight got made my interest in Thurman as been at a all time low.

                  RedFoxx nailed it.
                  That's what happened to "one time" Keith Thurman.

                    I was always amazed at how chill and almost detached he was previously. He had this zen like attitude, as if he was observing from the outside. Now, he is genuinely tense, easily offended, etc. I usually don't read much into interviews but it was a marked change with him.

                    I think he may have some doubts after the time off. I heard he was telling people at the gym that he lost his hunger, and people around him said he was more into life with his new wife than training.
