    He's a prospect, I'm not sure how well I could be sold on one. If he becomes a "champ" then I'll judge it based on his title defenses.

    He reminds me of a WW David Haye: an athletic, mobile, EXPLOSIVE bomber.

    When you have that kind of one-punch power, of course the technique will sometimes suffer and skillfulness will be put on the back burner in pursuit of the KO.

    I'm a big believer in Thurman though. I expect him to destroy tonight and hopefully set up a bigger WW fight with a guy like Porter. That would be a fuckin war.

    I am sold on him and hope he becomes a super star. Put him in with Guerrero, Berto, Porter, Brooks and Devon.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    That's a fair comparison actually, David Haye.. in another words he's an ambush fighter with a lack of real substance..

    Haha we shall see. I liked David Haye other than his outside of the ring nonsense and his "owww my poor toe" excuses.

    I'm sold on the notion that he has better than average power for a WW, and can possibly take that power right up to MW.

    I'm not going to go that far... hahahahahhahhaa..... but I believe he can take a decent amount of his power upwards. Not bone-crushing kayo power, but enough to make guys wanna quit.

    No no and no.

    Thurman is more durable than Haye...plus he brings a plan B into the ring..not to mention he has a damn good team behind him.
