Jeff Mayweather just said that Ennis vs Thurman is next

Who are spreading this fake news? Why are they doing this?

I would be very surprised to see Thurman give boots a shot

I disagree. I see Spencer fighting Thurman before fighting Crawford. So that option is there. Sht, if he can get Spence, that's definitely the way to go.

Showtime likes Boots a lot and may be positioning him for some legit shot with good financial backing. I don't think Thurman would take such a fight but you never know what will be the incentive or he can position himself with a win to fight the winner of Spence and Crawford if that fight ever happens. I think Thurman will run away until he gets hit with one of the side of the head shots from Ennis and then its good nigh.

Because he is with less options than before. He isnt really in any position to be picky about fights cuz he isnt that relevant anymore. But with a fight against a high profile prospect like Ennis, he is right back in the mix if he wins. :lol1: If he wins! Ennis would beat Thurman right into retirement. Once Upon a Time Thurman is Never More.

Beware of fake news started by desperate YouTubers fishing for views and subscribers. These people are getting away with their lies trying to make money doing nothing. That's why I don't click these baiters. Someone needs to sue these rumor mongers. These fake news get thousands of views.

No way Thurman fights Ennis. He wouldn't fight Spence when he was coming up, why would he fight another up and Comer. Thurman would fight Broner before Ennis. Broner still fighting? With Ennis I dont believe it will be even close for Thurman, he always got hurt in the body and Ennis can throw good punches better then Josesito Lopez and Bundu

Thurman will only fight Ennis once the belts are vacated.

Cant see it Thurman is looking for title shots, he’s made that clear. I’d be very surprised if he took the fight at this stage. I’d like to see it though, Ennis gets hit flush quite a lot and he couldn’t afford to do that with Thurman.

Meanwhile Conor Benn wants Adrien Broner :lol1:

No idea if this rumor is true or not but with Showtime having just invested heavily in Boots and needing to get him in with a credible opponent, I could imagine a scenario where they could go to Thurman and say if you don't take this fight you won't be fighting on our network period in order to force his hand... I wish Espinoza had the balls to do that.

Not really the elite matchup boxing fans would want to see. But at least Thurman is a step up in competition. It isn't fighting Conor Benn though. Nor Virgil Jr. Vergil and Conor Benn > Thurman?

No way Thurman fights Ennis. He wouldn't fight Spence when he was coming up, why would he fight another up and Comer. Thurman would fight Broner before Ennis. Thurman was in a different position, right especially considering how Spence feels about him, this his only way to get the 147 strap. He kinda has no choice

No way Thurman fights Ennis. He wouldn't fight Spence when he was coming up, why would he fight another up and Comer. Thurman would fight Broner before Ennis. Unfortunately I agree. Thurman just wants to cash out at this point in his career.

Love it. Perfect test and gives Ennis a massive boost in terms of notoriety if he wins.

Such a fight will reduce Thurman to journeyman status. Yep boots beats up Keith. Keith can try to talk all smart but he hasnt exactly been active and He cant take body shots or fight on the insiode. Ennis beats him at any range and is bigger.

If true, that means PBC sees Thurman as a gatekeeper now and he'll likely never see another title shot. Especially if he loses to Ennis, which is likely.

Thurman ain't signing for this until Spence-Crawford is announced. If the fight falls apart, Keith will get one of those guys 100%. 147 isn't deep enough. One guy will get Thurman, one guy will get either the shell of Adrian Broner or Danny Garcia. If Thurman-Crawford happens, Thurman definitely has to beat another name to get the shot. At that point I can see the Boots fight happening.
