Comments Thread For: Thurman Chose Barrios Because He Had 'Best Record'; Ramos Was Also In Running

Just say you needed a tune up after basically being a semi retired fighter since beating Danny Garcia and then embarrassingly losing to an old man.

Lol! You clearly do not understand the science of marketing.

if it makes it any better though, you know he’s thinking that.

I understand the science of marketing, but in order to market something, it has to be at least somewhat believable. Nobody believes this nonsense he’s spewing.

[just the facts]

Remember when PBC fans would tell you that Thurman was the top fighter at 147 because he beat Porter and Garcia. Now they will tell you Spence is the top guy for beating the same guys. None of these guys get into the HOF, but they sure fooled a lot of people.

This is a dumb argument. How many fighters get into the HOF anyway? After beating Porter and Garcia, Thurman had the best resume at 147 and was the top dog.

I have no problem with Barrios for a comeback fight but no way in hell is it PPV worthy. Not even a stand alone Showtime main event. FOX or FS1 in my opinion.

Keith show this dude that he has no business getting knocked out by a much smaller Tank Davis then stepping right up to u next, as if he thinks ur a step down from Tank or something. Don't sit there and grind back and forth with this dude and give him confidence that he belongs in there with u. Go straight upside his head from the 1st bell and make him question why he's even in boxing. Break him down then knock him out in a devastating way, way worse than what Tank did

Mario Barrios fit all the criteria that Keith Thurman wanted in an opponent for his ring return. The former welterweight titleholder from Clearwater, Florida will look to break a more than two-and-a-half sabbatical from boxing, when he makes his return against San Antonio's Barrios on Feb. 5 at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. Thurman, 33, has not fought since dropping a close decision to Manny Pacquiao in 2019.

Don’t lie. He chose him cause he’s slow and robotic and a EASY payday.

I'm not so sure PBC gonna be in the game much longer???

PBC has become useless anyway so I don't think most people will care when they are gone.

The whole "best resume" argument goes out the window when the top challenge was avoided. You can't really be top dog by pretending the guy who can beat you doesn't exist.
