How many of you are NOT sold on Keith Thurman?

[FinitoElDinamita]

I just think he's a good athlete with a big punch but I dont see the " great " boxing skills that some of you talk about.. He's a good fighter and maybe he'll get better but I dont think he's great as he's cracked up to be..

What do you see in Thurman that separates him from the likes of POrter, Brook, and the other top talents at WW?

Oh yea, and he needs to cut his gay hair and watch out for the fashion police cuz he dont know how to dress.

Not sure how you measure great. Seems fans have different views on what that actually means. If we are expecting someone to measure up to Floyd then we may be in for a long wait. We are in an era that has manufactured greatness. Lots of "Stars"

What I see in Thurman that seems to lack in many today is an old school simple bad ass mentality. The mentality can also be seen in the way he carries himself, his body language. I think that if he was in charge of his own career he'd most likely fight anybody. We both know how careers are steered with very few that call their own shots. The mikmen are many.

He looks to me to have better skills the Porter but less then Brook but with that Lamotta like mentality he could most definitely beat or even dominate better skilled opponents. He may also have been born in the wrong era. He could get a little pacified in todays market and lose that edge that he brought with him.

There are different levels of greatness. Floyd and Roy are special breeds that come along once every 50 years or so and nobody expects to see that often. One doesn't have to be on their level to be regarded as great because greatness comes in many forms and they are in a class of their own.

All I'm saying is while Thurman is good, he's not great as some people think he is and that's just my opinion.

He is still growing as a fighter so we will see.
