Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Want Belts, Champions, I Want To Be Back on Top!

If Thurman stays active, he’s going to be a problem for anyone at 147. His movement and power is second to none. Spence definitely has the attributes and style to beat him. But, I would love to see how Spence deals with Keith’s power shots. Spence throws a lot, which leaves him in a position to get countered with a power shot. That will be a great fight! I think Thurman vs Crawford is 50/50. I actually think someone would get knocked out in that one. Both have KO power and both get hit with clean shots. Boots Ennis is the only welterweight I see dominating Keith. Too much reach, height, speed, skill, and he has youth on his side.

Seriously? Keith last legit KO was Soto-Karass in 2013.

Now that Thurman has become an active fighter again, is be glad to see him take on the top between 140 and 154 lbs.

So let Me get this straight, now that he has fought a tune up fight, is he proposing he wants to fight T. Crawford? Coz he is saying he wants the belt now and T. Crawford got the WBO belt or is Thurman all talk? Cos right now we need a tough fight featuring T. Crawford.

The WBC should be ashamed of themselves, if they make Thurman Spence's mandatory, just for beating Mario Barrios! He didn't even win in spectacular fashion, like Tank did! How could that fight allow him to leap frog Avanesyan and Vergil Ortiz Jr.? That's ridiculous! Thurman should have to fight at least Avenesyan or Ortiz Jr. before he gets a shot at the Green Belt!

According to the WBC, this fight was an "official" eliminator, not a "final" eliminator: https://www.boxingscene.com/wbc-pres...-final--163542

Fine, fight Ortiz jr., Boots or Butaev. If you win, you get another title shot.

Can't see Thurman doing anything. He made his name as a brutal KO puncher but he hasn't been doing that for a long while. Without game-changing power you're left with a decently skilled boxer who isn't unusually big, strong, quick, athletic or smart. Just another reasonable level contender.

Keef... really only has two options, really 3,but ***** will both love America and not be a racist before the third option occurs. .one word. Boots.
The first 2 options he loses to both..TC..and Errol(if he gets passed Ugas, a tall task)..oh and he also loses to Ugas..If I were him I'd move up to 154 cash my ass out against Charlo and ride off to the Nepalese sunset.

Thurman knows how to survive, and has the tools to stay competitive with anybody.

I just don't think he can beat the top guys nomore but the only person I see stopping him is Ennis in a future matchup.

Although Thurman ain't the same, you can say the same about Spence and even Crawford to a lesser point too ironically.

I don't know why people keep ****ing on about expensive software to catch extremist nutters. Almost without exception, extremist nutters can't spell & have appalling grammar.

Low-l writes 'if he gets passed Ugas, a tall task'

So, I know Low-l (as well as being Low-IQ) is a Q-Anon idiot because he wrote 'passed' when he meant 'past'. I mean, how hard is that? Extremists can never express themselves coherently.
