Why can’t Thurman show some respect?

Thurman is a cornball and probably a nice guy in real life. His trash talk is lame, artificial and hard to believe his boasts when he is bragging about facing a 40 year old fighter but openly ducks Spence. Thurman decisions pac but Spence would beat his ass, maybe stop him. Thurmans defense was leaky last fight. Thurman is the 3rd best welterweight in the world after Crawford and Spence but that doesnt mean Im impressed, we just have a lull in talent. This isnt the Trindad/DLH era nor is it the Cotto/margarito era. how you doin? true xD

they are about to fight..Manny can Earn his respect in the ring

He is selling the fight. How much respect did a young Ali show to his opponents?

You have to be kind of cvnty these days to really sell a fight, just enough for people to get off their phones to notice you, can't blame him

it's all good bro.. it's a fight, they are suppose to talk about their opponent, etc. let him talk. i dont mind the shiiet talking, disrespecting, at all.. at the end of the day, thurman is gonna have to fight manny.

He's hyping the fight and it's definitely more fun with him trying to play the villain.Some fights like this one are just good fights and don't need hype. I doubt his trash talk sold one extra ticket. I don't think he is just playing the villain. Maybe he is saying how he will smash Pacquiao so easily to convince himself. Anyway he said what he said and is responsible for it. If you like a disrespectful trash talker then Thurman is the boxer for you.

I used to be a Thurman fan. He has become so arrogant and disrespectful to other boxers that I am no longer a fan. He acts like two very close wins of Danny and Porter makes him vastly superior to all welterweights. I think both Crawford and Spence are much better. His disrespect of Pac was way worse than even trash talker Broner's disrespect of Pac. It it uncalled for. The fight sells it's self. Thurman should not have trashed Pacquiao and just let his fists do the talking.

You're too emotionally invested, its nothing but promotion.

He’s trying too hard to sell, it’s cringing in a way because that’s not him. But he has to do the business in the ring Right. Trash talk is sound bites. Fringe fans have always been more important than hardcore fans, they already have our money. Connor will prolly be remembered as a better talker than fighter in the end. So I don’t blame everyone trying but it’s hard to watch. Shoving at a weigh in is so played out. Ud have to had actually blown a fight and the money once before to be taken seriously. I think good performances and post fight comments go a lot further but sometimes it’s the best value for sum guys.

He’s trying too hard to sell, it’s cringing in a way because that’s not him. But he has to do the business in the ring ... Yes... and he's but a " Buddhist hipster" trying to act like a "hood trash talker"... hence the "result"... but Kief is alright... :)
