Comments Thread For: Thurman: These Young Guns Need To Know, I'm Not A Gatekeeper

[paulf]

Keith Thurman is NOT a gatekeeper.

He's a guy that used to be a boxer. Learn the difference.

He is so bum that people thought the 41 yo midget could beat Spence because of him.

If you don't want to fight Benn, Ortiz Jr., Stanionis, Crowley, or Boots, then your only option is to RETIRE! MAN UP!

These new killers keep popping up around Kieth and he's too old and slow now for any of them. He won't fight them either, and guess what? More youngins are on the horizon. I gotta see him beat one of them to believe his talk. I dont think he can beat the established old guard either at this point. He really seems past it even if hes 33.

Clearly this was a “go f yourself” response to matchroom wanting him to fight for them

Thurman vs Porter was gatekeeper fight of the century.

As much bickering as there is on this site, it makes me happy that the one thing that can bring us all together is the almost universal dislike of Thurman.

Porter said basically the same thing Keith is saying now. These guys aren't looking to be stepping stones, they want big fights. Only makes sense from their perspective. What does a Boots fight do for Keith?

Man, Keith aint no hoe out here! I'm wondering why everybody's written him off after only what, 1 loss? This is boxing- I guess.

They want "big fights"? Who else can Porter fight? He's lost most of his big fights to Spence, Crawford, and Thurman. Porter is literally a gatekeeper fighter. Thurman lost his biggest fight to Pacquiao and will most likely lose to Crawford and Spence. Keith needs to join Porter in retirement if he's not going to fight these young fighters.
