Am i the only one not sold (yet) on Keith Thurman?

Thurman's style is fan-friendly. I enjoy watching him fight. He can brawl and counter punch.His win over Diego was impressive. He fought a undefeated fighter that had punching power. Thurman was faced with adversity and prevailed. He might not have looked great in the begining but he adjusted and won by Stoppage. He still can improve as a fighter. He's still learning and young. I wouldn't sleep on him just yet. Like a guy said on this post, Keith Thurman's mark in boxing in still up in the air. A fighter like Paulie can give him problems, but with the right adjustment, he can stop him. A fight like a Cotto, someone like a power-boxer, can possibly expose Thurman.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

I honestly don't really care about Thurman. I definitely like to watch him fight, but in terms of a rooting interest I'm indifferent.

Thurman can definitely punch, we've known that for awhile. But he showed he can box a bit and maintain his gas for twelve rounds against Zaveck, which really impressed me. He did a good job of getting through a good fight w/ Diego and then taking the opportunity to finish him when it came up.

He's still up in the air to me though, so who knows? Right now I see Thurman being something like a better Andre Berto type.

Always exciting (and is gifted w/ his power), could grab an alphabet belt in one or two weightclasses, but he'll never really beat the best of the best.

I am not sold that he will be a great fighter . He is a good fighter with really good foot work. I don't know if you noticed in his last fight he has great foot work. What he lacks is real boxing skills like Austin Trout. Paulie would give him a real boxing lesson.I do like Thurman he brings excitement to the game people like him .I will bet on him until he runs into a boxer.

Thurman was a nobody to me till I saw him against Chavez. But Chavez I only knew was a champ that is it. And no I don't see Thurman doing anything special.

Me too, He keeps calling out Malinaggi that fight should be made. I think Thurman would get schooled personaly.

no,you are not the only one.

Diego, who's a solid domestic fighter, was out boxing Thurman and giving him fits. I had Diego up on the cards up until the first knock down. I give Thurman props for a beautiful body shot other than that Thurman didn't look that impressive IMO. It was only when a poorly conditioned Diego got gassed out when Thurman started to edge out rounds. The Thurmanator can punch but I don't see anything else that stands out.
