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

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Thurman is a fighter I’m completely past caring about. He’s merely chasing paydays, his ambition has vanished.

The only people watching this will be the fight teams.

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!

Facing Lara isn't gonna make him big money though. That match-up is so random.

Looking like Thurman wanna clinical beating before retirement.

Thurman wants nothing to do with the young Lions. Wise move, stay away from Ennis and Ortiz Jr.

[Oldskoolg]

I can understand it, it’s the chance at a title and against a world champion and might be about the only thing than can motivate a fighter who is passed his best and doesn’t have much longer in boxing

Lara is at 160 and 39 years old.

So that is his number one pick is to weight drain a 39 year old?

There are tons of options at 147 or 154.

Thurman threw his career in the toilet when he lost to a shot 40 year old pacquaio

Thurman should just fight Boots.

[tokon]

I've never been able to stand this joker... He just said "Taking on those historical challenges entices me more” about fighting for a fake belt at a catchweight. If this is what's next I hope Lara gives him a beating commensurate with the one Boots would give him if Thurman grew a pair and actually cared about staying relevant at 147.

Yes, if it's a 155 catch-weight, he is t going from 147 to 160 is he? Thurman has turned into a real flake.
