      Keith Thurman maybe has faster punch combinations, but for actual single punch speed? Miguel Cotto is quite level 'I think the fight would be similar to Miguel Cotto vs Zab Judah'.

      Miguel Cotto wins via TKO round 8-9, in a action packed fight.

        Judah can’t box, has sht stamina and no heart. He tries to intimidate you with speed, and if that doesn’t work he’s ***ed because he slows down and is a sitting duck mainly on the defensive, and his defense is lackluster. That fight still went 11 rd’s. Even Mayweather looked to be on the way to stopping this guy.

        Matter of fact, besides the bums like Alfonso Gomez and Jensen (w/e his name is), everyone either went 11 or decision with Cotto at welterweight. If Urkal and Judah can go 11, Thurman can go the full distance.
        Thurman is a champion calibre fighter. Unlike Judah he can actually box and control his space, he’s got much more skills (snd obviously fights back much more) and more dog in him than those guy’s.

        Instead of comparing to Judah, have a look at Urkal, flimsier and weaker but more comparative to Thurman’s style. Corner threw the towel in the 11th while the guy was on his feet. Both Judah and Urkal are smaller than Thurman too.

        I think people should consider that with Porter and Garcia, Thurman was already battling injuries and inactivity and this is the testing era. If you want the big most physically imposing version of Thurman, look at the Guerrero fight. That’s the peak Thurman.

        Most of Thurman’s damage I can see coming when he covers up. Sure Cotto can hurt him to the body too, but I wouldn’t bet on him landing some Golovkin-Macklin punch.

          It’s weird that people here undermine Thurman yet overrate Judah alot.

          He’s lucky he didn’t encounter a Shaun Porter, or he would’ve gotten murdered by sheer activity

            I think Cotto takes it for whatever reason. Just think he beats Thurman.
