    Thurman is all but retired and hasn’t fought in a few years. His last 2 fights- questionable MD win over josesito lopez and a loss to manny.

    why would he get a Crawford fight right now?

      Don't knock zepeda

      Zepeda was an okay lightweight currently campaigning at 140

      its not like Crawford is gonna fight him at 147

      Right?
      That fight might be for Crawford's title so more than likely it will be at WW. Zepeda did not look that good in his last fight against Lundy, I don't think that he will look any better against Crawford. He looks a little shop worn, maybe that fight against Ivan took a lot out of him.

          You guys are too tough on Crawford

          Crawford is the best

          I remember back in 2015 he beat a prime kell brook when brook was at the top of 147

            Crawford scared to fight anyone with a chance........He can't find a fight at welterweight and Porter has been calling him out for 7 months. Don't give me the b.s. that Shawn should have enforced his mandatory, his Dad went right to Arum and Arum refused to give him any offer.....this is after both Crawford and Arum said publicly that if the Pacman fight doesn't work out they would fight Porter....and then.....crickets! And if that does not convince you Arum was so scared Porter would then enforce his mandatory after trying in good faith to negotiate the WBO suddenly drops Porter from number one spot. This is so transparent I can't believe so many fans can't see this. You got this right Left Hook Tua.
