    Back in the day, Nash, and the rest of the boxing world all craved Thurman vs Malignaggi. This is around the time Malignaggi schooled prime Judah. I think Paulie needs to come out of retirement to give us the PPV event that is "Third Person" Thurman vs "Magic Man" Malignaggi. Nash out.

      I think Thurman does have some passion for the sport back, but mainly, as he said, it's all about business.

      He probably wants a good few million for a title fight or two, make as much as possible and get out of the sport with health intact and pretty rich.

      Not Mayweather or Pacquiao rich, but over enough money.

        I think Thurman vs Benn would be a good fight

          Great fight, but it’s going to have to be against a PBC guy.

              He had a pretty good tune up win, but I think one more fight before the championship rally would be a good thing. How about Jaron Ennis?

                    I think Thurman should have atleast one more fight as there are other fighters who have been working hard and fighting hard and pushing for title shots themselves the whole time he has been out of the game.

                    And he looked decent last weekend but he looked decent against somebody who came up from 140 after losing to somebody who came from 135.

                    But then this is modern day Boxing, its more speak it believe it recieve it than earn it these days. I would say he could go fight Crawford but the impression I get is they still wana freeze that guy out.

                      I still can't believe his last fight was PPV. I'm so glad I didn't buy it. Heck, I'm not sure I would of even stuck around to watch the final bell if I watched it on regular TV. The card was pretty damn boring. Was there even any KOs? If they're expecting you to pay 75 for two guys coming off losses (1 by KO), what do they expect you to pay for two top name fighters and belts on the line? It's getting ******.

                      Vote with your wallet people. Until they realize, people aren't just going to pay for **** fights, they'll continue to keep this poop training moving along.
