Thurman is not beating Spence :mjlol:
His power isn't all it's made out to be either. Once he took a step up in comp, the KO's have disappeared. One stoppage in 3 years/5 fights and that came off of a headbutt caused cut against Collazo. Fighters that aren't bums have been taking that right hand just fine

He smashed Collazo's face by punching it & Collazo quit. It had nothing to do with head butts

Collazo had no smashed face. He got cut off a headbutt and quit cause he couldn't see. And that was after a round he won by hurting Keith with body shots.

You're in denial bro. Outside of a well placed body shot, he got his ass handed to him & that's why he quit. He had 2 cuts over each eye. 1 was POSSIBLY from a clash of heads & the other was definitely from punches. That's why he lost by TKO because he quit or it would've went to the score cards

You nikkas don't watch enough boxing if you don't see how talented Broner is. Him and Spence are like neck and neck with talent. The only difference is Spence is more committed to the sport. He's not an emcee, promoter, doesn't engage in fukkery or the streets either. Spence is truly all about boxing.

Broner hasn't been focused like Spence has since the Demarco fight.

while I agree about Broner's talent, I do think there is a lot more than separates them than you say. Broner's style is just not conducive to beating the best opposition at higher weights. He fights too much like Floyd without the IQ or defensive skill. Floyd is probably the only person that can get away with that pot-shotting style. he and RJJ were special talents. Broner throws too many single shots and is too predictable. punch output too low and he isnt a threat when he is in a defensive stance. he could get away with that at lower weights because he is a pretty big guy. he has a wide back. while his body fits in well at 147, he cant overpower or hurt top level opposition with the consistency he did at 130-135.
