I haven't seen the fight yet, but a lot of people are writing Spence off based on what happened in the ring last weekend.
What's your opinion on this?
:beerchug:
Spence fan here but never thought he would “bulldoze” Thurman.
I question whether the old Thurman still exists. Either way Spence wins. Thurman should put up a fight doe.
None of these WW's today are separated by much.
You put the top WW's today in a tournament and it all be competitive fights. So stop saying this guy going to dominate this guy.
Yes, the same situation is with middleweights.
Clueless Fanboism who know nothing about boxing and act like girls who have a uncontrollable CRUSH would think that Thurman would be easy for ANYBODY! Boxing Fans (or the ones on this forum who pretend to be) lacks respect for what these Men Do. Thurman Resume still better than Spence Jr vs Crawford COMBINE!
Also what Thurman does very well is Mix Up his attack which gave even the Great Pacquiao some problems in the second half of that fight. Thurman can fight off the Backfoot but also Push the Action and Apply Pressure Effective when needed
So no he won't be easy...I do think Spence Jr Troubles him to the body. STYLES MAKE FIGHTS, not something that is said because it sounds good it is TRUE, STYLES MAKE FIGHTS! So what Porter was able to do vs a MASSIVE Spence Jr, nobody else in the Division is doing that nor will they be able to hold up or withstand that brutal inside attack especially the body work (Low Blows Including :lol1: )
So lets Calm down with wanting to see Demise of fighters because they have Fans that you don't like. Thurman, Danny Garcia, Pacquiao, Porter...none of these guys will be easy to beat but guess what, Neither Will Spence Jr with that Size and neither will Terrance Crawford with his Overall Skills and ability to fight effectively as Orthodox or Southpaw
Great post !
Nice to see someone who is rational on this forum. Too many idiots here that think their hero crush can't be beaten and that just because another fighter showed some vulnerabilities that means they suck and they'll be an easy fight for their hero......Porter just proved that the majority of fight fans are idiots. He didn't get beat up and KO'd ...,never mind it being an easy fight for Spence. Same thing happened to Tyson Fury only a short time ago..., although Fury did better than Spence.
The point is any top fighter can beat any other top fighter on any given night. Some guys may have slight advantages but those advantages can disappear quickly just by a change of game plan, training, illness, .....and a million other factors.
Come on a 50% Thurman went a split decision imagine a healthy Thurman he beat Manny easy, lol same same lol !
- -Easy enough for a 50% IQ to dribble and drool.
Manny underwent the same shoulder surgery, knocked him down and lumped him up like never happened before, and this ol'man Manny!

Thurman likely finished at the top been looking mighty fragile. Doubt he takes that fight nor vs Porter.
I'd imagine he wants the Manny rematch or a green young fringe contender he coul school.
Danny gonna go splotto, guaranteed vs Spence.
Pre Wife /Pre injury Thurman takes Spence but not now. Its unfortunate that his prime was shortened like it was at this time when a prime Thurman-Spence or Thurman-Crawford fight would be electrifying.
Has not stopped him from screaming "I WANT MANNY AGAIN" every where he goes.
Sounds familiar , calls injury and being only 50% after the fight and now needs surgery, wants a rematch.
This is Manny Floyd all over, but the Manny fanboys dont want to hear it.
Come on a 50% Thurman went a split decision imagine a healthy Thurman he beat Manny easy, lol same same lol !

Thurman bragging about doing better against Porter, but you don't see him saying he wants to fight Spence.
Very true. That was a different Porter than the one who fought Thurman. Thruman would not beat that Porter.
Spence vs Thurman is still a good fight. Porter's style worked well against Spence. Spence's style vs Thurman's style will be an entirely different matter. Hard to see Thurman going the distance and winning.
Porter should always fight with this conditioning and sparring when he fights (he sparred SMW's and LHW's for Spence). It would have made the Ugas fight much easier (a fight I thought he lost).
It will be equally interesting to see how Spence responds after this fight. I still rate him the best, but Porter really is right there too.
I think a young Pacquiao beats all of these guys, but I don't think he should fight Spence or Porter at this stage of his career.
Crawford vs Porter is a fight I want to see.
Shawn makes EVERYBODY look bad after they fight him. Thurman didn’t blow threw him,Danny Garcia lost to him, ugas lost to him,broner lost to him(yea I had to throw that in there).
I dare say if mayweather from 2013 had to fight him instead of canelo he would beat Shawn but it would be a VERY UGLY fight and people would be saying Father Time has finally crept up on mayweather the way Shawn makes people fight.
But do I think Spence would put thurman to sleep no. But I know he would look at lot better against Thurman than he would against porter.
What you are forgetting is that Pac is a healthy 40 year old athlete who have avoided major injuries throughout his long and illustrious career. He has never been sidelined due to surgery until recently.
When he fought Floyd Mayweather he re-aggravated his torn rotator cuff. Yet he was already 20 years into his career by then in his late 30s.
On the other hand, In recent years 30 year old Keith Thurman has had multiple surgeries. One on his elbow and now the other on one of his hands.
This is a ominous sign that an athlete's body is slowly aging and beginning to break down. Also, remember just prior to that; He was injured in a car accident back in 2016 before the original Porter/Thurman fight which was inevitably postponed.

lol a prime athlete can only be washed up if he doesn't train to be great. Pac is in his 40s and still can bang even with all those damage he got in all his career fights. The only guys who are really washed up are those who are either too old or not in their prime. Thurman is still in his Prime. A prime athlete heals better than an old dog, unless he's not a human being and ages differently lolIn recent years Thurman has had multiple surgeries.

Thurman is washed up now and past his prime. His body is aging and slowly breaking down. He will never be the same fighter again or the one he used to be. That's why Pac's Team took the fight with him in the first place because they knew he was finished. His career is now done as we knew it.
