How many of you are NOT sold on Keith Thurman?

he is very athletic but seems like a fighter who will eventually get totally outboxed by a random opponent then be considered exposed but then comeback and beat a top guy. he is one of those fighters who has some great qualities which will help him beat some great fighters but also lacks certain qualities which make him very beatable.

i agree that if we are looking for another boxing superstar then thurman is not it. i believe that he will be around for a long time though beating good fighters and spending time as the champion.

Selling Thurman short I see.

You can only hope he doesn't become a star...I don't see anybody stopping him from being just that.

He is exciting but I have been bitten before, I thought Berto was going to be the next great thing. I want him to do well but always have doubt after that.
