Another classic fight...salute to the great Matthew Saad Muhammad..RIP
how do you feel he would match up vs kkkov/donis/ward/chad/hopkins at lhw?
Bernstein just said what I thought:
Just watched Thurman-Collazo. Main story to me, though it did not receive any mention on the telecast, is that Keith has changed his identity in the ring over the last few fights and this effort made it official in my mind. He is no longer a boxer-puncher, he is a boxer. He now moves so much and punches off his back foot so much that he is simply not the power puncher he was before. He is a very skilled fighter and has improved his boxing skills a lot. BUT, by ceding his power he takes away a big element of his game. And, because he squares up too much he has some holes defensively when he is not attacking. I have praised Keith a lot and I still think he's an very good fighter, but we have to evaluate THIS Keith Thurman through a different lense. The next level of competition against a Brook or Porter or Khan will tell us a lot. But, this is definitely a new mindset than the Thurman we saw prior to the Bundu, Guerrero and Collazo fights.
This new Thurman is awful. Thats what I feel is running in boxing. This dude musta did atleast 3 miles in that ring, it was ridiculous.

he would ko kovalev, superman, and esp chad
hopkins/saad would be competitive
ward/saad remains to be seen..ward would have to fight the best 175 had to offer right now for me to really gauge how we do against a top 10 all time great light heavy

Random as hell...subliminals and no target
I dont know what the hell AB is talking about, but he needs to either get it together or get out the game. Doing HIM is what has HIM with 2 losses. Maybe we should try doing what the trainer says
