Naw, he just thinks you're fucking cringe, thhhon.

Keith says he would've fought Errol, if he had beaten Paquiao. While I certainly don't blame him for taking the Paquiao fight over Errol, I do blame him for losing.

Keith needs to quit whining, and fight his way back to the top. He's put himself in the position of being on the outside, looking in, like Errol was when Keith, Danny, and Shawn didn't want to fight him.

Not happening. After Spence takes out Ugas he's fighting T. Duckford. That leaves Keef to duck either Boots Ennis or Vergil Ortiz jr

Most likely because you don't fight often,or take on any serious challenges and then expect the world handed down to you like a lot of boxers do nowadays.

The speed at which Spence ran out of the building and his promoter's comment really point to Spence fighting Crawford... Good old reverse psychology.

thurman ducked spence for years. He told spence to get a belt, Spence got a belt and he still wouldn't fight him. I wouldn't give him an opportunity either. And I'm not a fan of either guy, but I really hate thurman a lot.

Keith never wanted to fight Spence in the first place; remember when Keith was like 'Oh I'd love to fight Spence but I gotta get a tune up or two in, then I gotta satisfy 2 mandatories, I won't be able to fight Spence for 2 years."

'nuff said, I'm with you!

Basically Thurman needs to do what he told Spence, "get a title!".
Which means Thurman needs to fight and beat Crawford .

Fair enough to me.

Thurman needs to STFU and get in line. Thurman don’t call no shots he blew and I wouldn’t be surprised if he loses tonight. Thurman is going broke and he knows the only way to make money is to fight Spence!!

"Only... because Pacquiao was able to edge me out on the scorecards with his flurries, his composure, his defense in that 12-round fight.”
"With his flurries..."
"His composure..." and
"His defense."
That sounds like Manny WON the fight. It seems like Manny WON the fight.
In fact, I saw the title Keith brought into the ring entering the fight get handed over to Manny after the fight.
So, I think MANNY WON the fight. He got the TITLE AND THE WIN.
We call that WINNING.
And what Keith did was, in fact, LOSE. We call that LOSING... you know, that 12-ROUND CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT. I seem to recall CHAMPIONS FIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTS... 12-ROUND championship fights.
Yes, Manny flurried a lot.. for 12 ROUNDS. AND he was very composed during those 12 ROUNDS. AND was excellent defensively throughout those 12 ROUNDS. AND he won it on the scorecards.
MANNY WON! The losing? Well, that what Keith did. KEITH LOST. "Edged out" of winning does indeed mean YOU LOST.
FACE IT...
ACCEPT IT...
OWN IT!
