Comments Thread For: Thurman Considers Catchweight Fight With Lara, Expects To Return In October

[JakeTheBoxer]

So Thurman is pretty much done, he wants no real challenges at 147.

[sicko]

that is a good fight, I wanted that when Lara was at 154 though so he is a few years too late

Thurman is so extra! Why do you want to drain a 39-year old man? Why not fight Boots or Stanionis @ 147? Why not fight Conor Benn @ 147? Why not fight Erickson Lubin @ 154? Why not fight Brian Castano @ 154? No, you want to fight Lara at a catchweight (probably 150), when his at least his last 2 fights were @ 160? I hope Lara says they'll fight at 154, and I hope he whoops your azz! Batty Boy...MAN UP!

He's talking about fighting for Lara's secondary belt so it would have to be at a catchweight of at least 155

How many people care who he fights or at what weight?

[richardt]

So there are close to a half dozen unbeaten Welterweights and top guys with only one loss and instead of beating one of them and putting him in line for a title shot, he refuses everything unless it is a title fight. He does not deserve a direct shot at a title. He was gone for 2 years and should get in line and earn it, whether at 147 or 154. He won't go anywhere near Charlo or any 154 pound contender and work his way. Lara should laugh and tell him to earn the shot.

I'm good with 155! Still would rather him fight Erickson Lubin @ 154, or Stanionis @ 147, or Boots @ 147!

Right. Thurman was seen getting a bad beating from old Pac. Then he came back after 2 and half years fighting a light welterweight, coming from a KO loss to a lightweight. Now he wants to fight old middleweight at catchweight.

Thurman should maybe have some exhibition fights with old retired fighters and leave this sport alone.

Thurman is embarrassing himself to the death of his career. He'll get my respect back only if he fights an upcoming hotshot like Ortiz or Ennis or Staniones or a streaking fighter to get a shot but he doesn't want that smoke.

With all their PPV flops and giving Broner a hand out, PBC cant afford to let Thurman fight 3 times a year. I imagine he comes with quite the price tag.

He isn't going anywhere near Ennis, he seems to like the aging fighters best.
