Comments Thread For: Thurman Rejects Claims About Lack of Motivation: 'I'm Not Over. I Have More To Give'

He might be physically strong and well but his timing and reflexes will be off due to excessive rust. Team Barrios should look to pressure him from the first round and not let him feel his way into the fight.

I'm not sure I belive him but time will tell and if he has got more to give then that's another good fighter in the mix.

Glad to see Thurman is still around. Thought he died. His relevancy did. Fixing to get an 126 pounders sloppy seconds on PPV is a classic fight that people will eventually remember one day when they discuss the "Boring 20's"

I see value in Thurman's abilities. The trajectory of where that takes him remains to be seen. If he is able to harness the best of himself he is highly competitive with anyone a tive near his weight. His commitment is going to determine allot.

Is that you Keef? Sounds exactly like something Keef would say "Willow the LISP" lol....

I dont think its lack of motivation, but he let his prime years slip by. Wouldnt be surprised if this fight ends in a draw.

Keith Thurman isn't fazed by the critics who think his drive isn't what it used to be. Over the past few years the former welterweight titleholder from Clearwater, Florida has battled the perception that he is not as devoted to boxing as people have come to expect from a world class fighter.

I don’t doubt Thurmans motivation. I just know it is all about the Benjamin‘s.

Man got himself a hot wife, took time to heal, enjoy life outside of boxing, maybe some of his money and folks wanna act like he sat around eating chips and catching cases. Let that man live and show us what’s left in him. Fans of the sport are becoming worse than a group of drunk angry women.

After he beats Barrios, he needs to fight Crawford or Spence.

I have no idea what she saw in him....

I think lack of ACTIVITY (2 YEARS & 5 months!) is enough to say something about his future abilities. I think he blew the Pac-Man cash already. He’s got a hot wife to feed so I get it.
