Do you favor Thurman over Spence now?

Huge Thurman fan, expect Keith to drop a decision 116-112 to Spence.

Not everyone is boxing is built for longevity. Thurman got rich and married a super hot women and immediately lost the drive. Too busy partying in Tokyo and ****. Cant say I blame him.

He’ll turn up every other year to collect a check as long as it’s fat, which is exactly what he’s doing now... trying to talk himself into a payday without bothering with a comeback W.

Years ago Thurman was something like Spence. he was unbeaten welterweight champion, seen as the big star on this sites.

Right now, he is forgotten, fans laugh when they hear his name.

What happened? Nothing special, he lost to Pacquiao and retired.

Well, Spence somehow found the way to withdraw before he would lose to old Pac.

But, my point is, fans will forget Spence very fast just like they don`t care about Thurman anymore.

Who has recently favoured Thurman over Spence? Anyway, that's good for a laugh, dumb thread.

They have the same best wins. Porter and Danny.

If Thurman came back motivated ( I doubt), it would be tough fight to call.

After all the controversy this week, do you look at this matchup any different?

I always felt Thurman had the style to beat Spence just wasn't consistent enough to pull it off.

So since people believe Spence was fearful of Manny speed etc. do you think Thurman beats him who lost a split decision to Pac

Thurman has a glass body. Spence chops him up

Hell I think Tank Davis beats Thurman

Neither Thurman nor Spence were ever as good as their media hype. Both guys are GOOD fighters but not GREAT let alone HOF or ATG

Spence couldn`t chop Mikey Garcia.

Tough call man. Thurman is no joke, he takes the punches pretty well.

I feel so let down that it's even up to debate ( Tank) Thurman a power punching boxer with good feet.

He went from one time, to no time, to outta time... Smh.

Wat???

Manny, Josesito Lopez, and Luis Collazo ALL had Thurman literally RUNNING around the ring from body shots.

Spence stops Keith and I think Tank does too

Now that the vase has been dropped and Humpty Dumpty had to be pieced together.. Don't think he's the same.

I say in the past both Thurman and Spence are equal. Now that Spence is shattered to bits.

Signs of not being the same. Slurring while talking. I noticed that. Torn Retina, that will make him fight differently. It will linger in his mind if he gets hit hard. He might tear it, thus affect his game.

So I don't think Spence will ever be the same.

So I give the edge to Thurman. You can heal bones, cracked ribs, but infusing back a torn retina and an apparent slurring that can be caused by an internal brain issue.. Those are serious fighter issues.. Career ending even..

Thurman wins.

Thurman is done. he is not hungry anymore, seems he enjoys family life. He probably made enough money for himself, he would maybe just come back for Pacquiao rematch.

I would not say he is done, but there was a distinct change in his drive 'Soon as he got with his woman, nothing wrong with that' But it as clear to me.

Thurman for me has been a decent fighter and champion. Just goes to show? There are different levels of mentality in the game.

Some fighters do not let everyday relationships or life matters get in the way of fighting. Very few fighters, Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins, Carl Froch, Joe Calzaghe probably even Roy Jones Junior 'Although he was in the wars near the end of his career, his passion and drive never deviated'.

I thought that Deontay Wilder had gone the same way as Kieth Thurman, but he looks to have really increased is intensity this past year or so etc
