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

[PRINCEKOOL]

If Keith Thurman is injury free, and has been training with a passion 'The man is definitely not a gatekeeper'.

But I just think ever since his loss to Pacquiao, Thurman has been way off.

His attitude to boxing, I think may have even started to change before that fight. It was when he got with his woman, which is great good for him but 'I saw a distinct change in his attitude'.

I have mentioned this before etc.

How the hell is Thurman the mandatory?!

Ortiz-Ava fell through. Thurman fought Barrios in an eliminator, not sure if it was a final eliminator.

"Then retired" proving with every post what an absolute idiot you are.

Barrios coming off a KO loss is in an eliminator in a weight class he doesn't compete in. The most PBC thing ever.

He's a gatekeeper.

He's not presenting problems to any of these new guys.

Ennis, Benn, and Ortiz would punish him and Thurman is no longer relevant to get a match with Bud or Spence.

He's arsed out of luck.

Losing to a 40 year old part time fighter and going twelve with a 140lber who got KO'd by a 135lber in his last fight is the very definition of gatekeeper.

If it looks like a gatekeeper, talks like a gatekeeper, and walks like a gatekeeper, then it definitely is one.

Totally disagree he looked fine after 30 months out the ring and barrios got stopped by tank but was way more competitive than he was against thurman. And pacquiao fight he just took too long to get into it and lost a narrow decision. All these young guys can't be fighting ****ing Chris van heerden and dulorme and think there gonna walk through Keith styles make fights and Keith is a good fighter he's proved that

I finally watched his last fight only yesterday. Based on the comments here, you’d think he struggled. He looked sharp imo. Pitched a shutout. He should definitely still be in the mix. He lost a split to an ATG who fought like it was his last chance to shine. Other than that Spence and Crawford only have his sloppy seconds on their records. They are all three roughly the same age. Not saying he beats those other two but he deserves some respect froom his career and looked pretty good last time out.

Exactly what I'm saying he looked fine against barrios beat him up for 12 rounds and people come with the ahh he got stopped by tank yeah at a weight he was killing himself to make and he still was competitive with tank and was arguably winning till the 9th round. He beat garcia and porter when they was at there peak. And lost a decision to pacquiao but if he didn't get caught with a flash knock down in that first round he arguably could of won the fight or it been a draw.
