I believe Keith Thurman is one of the most tragic waste of talents it is. No matter the criticism let’s not pretend this guy can’t fight and has an awesome resume. His only lost being to an all time great and even that was by narrow margin. It saddens me because I truly believe Thurman could have beat Tim Tzuyu tonight and put his name right back at the top tier. Now his name fades back to obscurity and Spence attempts to snatch the opportunity. I hope he gets his moment.

great first post
but probably rose tinted thurman glasses here, hes well past his best & would lose to both of these guys i would say, him and spence should get it on actually
Garcia ducked Postol, who Crawford dominated. Garcia's best win is decision over Lucas M, who Postol knocked out. Crawford just beat Spence, who beat Garcia. Garcia has no big wins at 147.
imagine having Postal as the best win on your resume LMFAO
Like I said, Crawfish is a JOKE
Wish thurman vs Spence would happen.
If I was Al Id sign Boots and give Thurman a retirement payday to get slaughtered by Boots
He wouldn't even get slaughtered. It'll go 12. Maybe some freak body shot but probably not.

I think he would've been #1 or #2 behind Crawford at welterweight without all the injuries.
It's sad for sure, but it might be time to move on.
There's nobody to blame, Keith has been prone to injury for a long time. He has a lot of mileage on him, he's been fighting since he was 7 years old.
I hope he can turn it back one more time, but I'm not really holding my breath at this point. It sucks but it is what it is.
Further demonstrates the pro-US bias in the sport. The Ring still has Spence P4P #8.
they have tank davis on their p4p top 10 as well which is absurd. they even have him above jesse rodriguez who just destroyed the top guy in his division while tank has never beaten a top 5 guy in any division hes fought in.
Thurman clearly does not have a great resume. Pac was an ATG, but was far far past his prime and didn't win another fight in his career. Garcia and Porter are the 2 notable wins, that's pretty far from greatness.
Yet you all over hype Spence and he's still in Rings p4p. Thurman beat Garcia and Porter before him. His 1 loss is the Manny fight, and it was a close fight Manny started of the first half better.
Thurman could have had a way better career wasted his own career, though injuries played a part he still could have been more active than he has been. The problem with these fighters Spence Bud Thurman etc when they get to that level they only really want to fight if it's a sizeable payday. Bud isn't exactly an active fighter either. They're all part timers lucky to even see them fight once a year
Garcia would be the best win on Crawford's resume
garcia has done nothing at ww. hes never even beaten a top 10 guy there and has lost to the only 3 he has faced. when crawford beat ricky burns for example, burns had beaten 3 top 10 guys and 2 of them were in the top 5. burns is a bum though is what some people would say because hes not ameriacn or not pbc or whatever. garcia had a big name but nothing of quality at ww. burns had no name but was a good win. hes just one guy that is much better than garcia and i picked him because hes pretty obscure.

thats just madness, i mean the guy is not even fighting once a year and looked hopeless in his last fight barely awake for most of it lol, crazy

Thurman priced himself out.
Yet the guy who is 34, fought only 3 times in the last 4 and a half years with a 2-1 record the last being a brutal beating and has had just as many injuries,
can come into the ring to hype up a fight vs the winner and likely even get that fight
Spence doesn't deserve it either, but PBC loooves Spence and is still willing to try to dress him up. That doesn't change the fact that Thurman hasn't done anything to get a chance.
Oh, and I believe Spence is 200% overrated and in a perfect world Spence and Thurman should fight eachother next just so people can see which two has beens deserve another shot.
Thurman being 35 now with 1-1 record in the last five years and not fighting the past two years is completely on him though. He's retired in my memo along with Jermell.
