Comments Thread For: Thurman Welcomes Fight Against 'Boots,' But Wants Champions First: 'It's A Possible Fight'

[Smash]

he will fight boots but will charge u a one time fee of $149

What, the guy who ducked Spence when he was champion is going to fight Ennis after he regains the championship?! Yeah, OK. . .

Thurman will never be forgiven for defending against Spence, when he had the title.

[Boricua181]

Beating 140lb Lipinets doesnt equate to deserving a title shot.

I agree Ennis has got to beat someone in the top ten in the 147 division before he gets that title shot.

Lmao...all Ortiz has to do is trigger his mandatory and he fights Crawford...he didnt and is now fighting the almighty Mckisson or whatevwrthefcuk his name is. Boots went the IBF route instead too. Only ones running from anybody is the (P)rotected (B)oys (C)lub from Crawford

Ortiz fighting that unknown with no power is a bad choice at this point in time of his career.

This is just Thurman throwing up roadblocks. I remember Thurman shooting down a fight with Errol Spence because Thurman needed at least 2 tune up fights and satisfy his mandatory fights which is why he can't fight Errol, Thurman is doing the same thing here, 'Oh I tots would fight Boots but I gotta fight for a title first!"

given the price of bubblegum, I don't see this fight happening

Hahahahahaha, Also given that Thelma only fights once a year, I don't think this fight happens

If this cherry picking ducking mofo ever get back a belt. he will retire so he won't have to face boots

thats what floyd did to avoid who? thurman. well actually he cherrypicked berto but thurman spence and crawford would have been naturally next in line. floyd would rather face japanese kickboxers than face guys like thurman

I'm a big Thurman fan. And I know Thurman is waaay too intelliigent to fight Boots Ennis. Because he must know that if he does that, he will never, ever get to the title again. Thurman is athletic, strong, smart and experienced enough to not embarrass himself, but I see him having a very bad night if he ever fights Boots Ennis

It's all good Keith Thurman! Boots has an IBF eliminator coming soon! He don't need you! What Thurman has to worry about is David Avanesyan! Avanesyan was ordered to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr. in a WBC eliminator, but Ortiz Jr. decided to go fight McKinson in a WBO fight! So if Thurman wins, I think he'll have to face Avanesyan next! I just hope the WBC doesn't allow Thurman a title shot just because he beat Barrios, who is in his first fight @ 147, and coming off a KO loss to Tank @ 140!

IBF, let's go! What's taking so long? Pick the opponent for Boots, and also announce plans for Matias vs. Ponce! ASAP!
