Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[GREENandYELLOW]

To me a guy like Thurman is what makes boxing fun. We don't know what he completely is yet. He is still young in his career and still needs more fights for experience and top tier opponents. We won't really know all his strengths/weaknesses until he fights more A and B fighters.
Watching experienced fighters who we know their ins and outs is great - we get to analyze their styles for the matchup, since their skills are pretty well known.
Watching new talent on the way up has always been fun for me.

Id rather see Pac/Swift... Broner going back to 140

I wouldn't mind that fight either. Broner would definitely fight at 147 if it was against Pac. Both are better bouts than a Canelo fight.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

i dont see it too. thurman reminds me of acelino freitas a lot.

You gotta explain that one fam.

mirror images. similar stance, similar side to side movement, jump in a lot with big punches

If Swift blessed Manny with one of his patented no-look-hooks

I really like Keith's boxing abilities though. He's still a raw prospect though. First time I saw him was against Hoskins and he looked very wild there. He's come along way from there and has shown lots of improvement, giving us new looks every time out. He isn't even close to his best yet. I can only imagine what he'll be like in his prime

Of course we won't truly know what he's about until he steps up in competition. But until then I'm gonna enjoy the ride

[QUOTE="Black_Jesus, post: 8199352, member: 2534"]Why would Pac move up to 154 breh?? Either Canelo comes down or there's no fight between the two[/QUOTE] i just want to see him fight atleast the version that floyd fought,152 is cool too. He'll lose bad

The thought of Swift left hooking Pac to Bolivia

Swift aint timing shyt breh... yea swift stopped Zab, Morales, China Chin and Matthyssee, but Pac is whole notha beast.. is the only way Danny wins, I just dont see it happening though...

Oh ok
I can see where you coming from.

I think this version of Thurman is wayyy more polished than Freitas ever was. It's like he's Freitas 2.0 or some shyt.

His boxing ability is definitely improving. His offensive game has tightened up a lot. His defense still needs work, but it isn't horrible.
He has what appears to be great power and a good chin...that can get you a long way while you improve your overall skills.

I still thinks he needs more experience before he starts getting matched up with B+, A fighters...but I think he is ready for Malignaggi, Alexander, Guerrero level guys.

Pac is not Floyd.. Just because Floyd fights someone at a certain weight doesn't mean Pac has to.... Floyd's style allows him to fight at higher weights... Pac can sustain too much damage fighting opponents above 150... Plus Canelo has no belt... Pac does... Why would Pac move up??

I know,but i stated before that canelo would beat manny and ko him. I'm judging off his last two fights. If i'm wrong,i dont want to have an excuse. If he drains canelo to levels he cant handle,he might beat him. If he fought the version floyd fought,he's getting ko'd.
