Comments Thread For: Spence: I Don't Want Anything To Do With Thurman, He's A Cornball, I Can't Stand Him

This is what I said to ShaneMosleySr and he didnt grasp it. Thurman WAS on top of the division in 2017 but that was 4 years ago. He showed so much ring rust against Josesito Lopez he struggled to win and Pac beat him like he was his Dad. Thurman is shop worn and injury prone nowadays. In order for him to make a statement in the division again he will have work his way back into the conversation IMO and i dont think he's capable anymore. He hasn't looked the same since the DSG fight.

besides being badly hurt in a round he easily won the fight. the cards were really bad but he won about 9 rounds and you said it yourself it was ring rust. ring rust and shop worn are different things and im not sure how can you decipher which is which with so little evidence.

At least there are some people on here that see decline and understand what it is

No, doubt! Keith looked terrible after his two year hiatus from elbow surgery against Josesito Lopez. He was nearly knocked out in that fight which convinced Team Pac to pursue him for his next bout.

Who came up with this narrative that Thurman was so horrible in the tuneup fight. He was on cruise control in the fight, got rocked, recomposed himself and cruised to a majority ud.

Oh I know why the Floyd boys need to push the Thurman is shot narrative because of how Manny beat him and Floyd ducked him.

wtf is a cornball?

Errol Spence openly refuses to fight two of the best welterweights and no one cares.

Lol.

If you don't know, ask.

The interview this article is based on was a radio call in on the barbershop radio show and in that SAME interview Spence said he wants to fight Crawford after he beats Pac.

He reminded everyone that he been saying he gonna be undisputed and to do that he obviously needs to fight Crawford and that he gonna focus on making that fight happen.

The real question is why you refuse to acknowledge the truth of the matter - yet claim to be a boxing fan.


Keef refused to fight Spence because Keef claimed that Spence only fought the C-level. Gets criticized.

Spence refuses to fight Crawford for anything other than 70-30 because Spence claims that Crawford only fought the C-level. Gets criticized.

Fast forward and Keef begs for a fight from Crawford - even though he's still only fought the C-level - yet NSB says Keef isn't worth Crawford's time.

Fast forward and now people are applauding Spence for holding his ground against Keef (even though it would be a good fight), yet claim Spence is ducking Crawford.

It's the hypocrisy, y'all. It's too easy to call out. That's the problem.

Spence never disrespected Crawford's opposition. The reason he said he is the A side is because he puts asses on seats and Crawford doesn't.

Crawford's three ppvs have bombed and Spence's three have each doubled Crawfords three put together.

Spence definitely capping in the WW division he could solidify his legacy at WW by fighting Thurman and Crawford. Those are two fights that fans want. Be a champion and give us these fights

Only Keith Thurnan nuthuggers are pretending that boxing fans want that fight. Nonody gives a **** ass about that fight except Keith Thurman nuthuggers.

As for Crawford, Spence said, in the same interview this article is quoting, that he is hunting Crawford after he beats Manny. He even repeated it and said that's the fighf he wants because he wants fo be undisputed.

One last fight for Pacquiao

Not liking someone used to be justification for wanting to hurt them in the ring. Spence needs a spokesman. He sounds like he's perched on a throne who can revive careers. He's barely known outside the US.

Normally that's the case but the devil is in the details. Keith Thurman acted high and mighty over Spence and went out if his way to deny Spence a chance.

The best form of revenge in this scenario is pretending Keith Thurman does not exist.

Besides, Keith Thurman is trying to talk his way into a shot instead of working his way back there like the others had to (Porter and Danny).

So even if he there wasn't the beef between them Keith Thurman still wouldn't deserve to get Spence's attention.

Talking his fine, but you gotta walk too, and Thurman think he slick tryna jump the line.

Coz he knows he he tries to getto a title via the WBC or IBF, then the line goes through Porter and Ennis, and it goes through Ugas if he tries to go after Spence via the WBA,.

That is precisely what he is avoiding. That is the con here.

Thurman is very similar to Amir Khan in trying to con his way to the top, and his gullible fanboys always fall for this crap.

Thurman DUCKED Spence when he was on top! Now that the roles are reversed an Spence is on top he's returning the favor!
