Comments Thread For: Thurman on Danny Garcia: What He Did At 140, What I Did At 147, We're Hall of Fame Fighters

[hhh1200]

If Thurman was smart (and brave) he would be going to 154 anyway! He knows Spence, Crawford, Boots, and Ortiz Jr. are headed there anyway! Plus there are good fights which can be made easily, i.e. Thurman vs. Lubin, who are both from Florida! That fight should do better in Florida than Broner vs. Figueroa! If he wants to stay at 147, and he thinks Boots and Stanionis are unworthy, then fight Ugas! Ugas is a former champion, and he beat the guy, who beat you, Manny Pacquiao!

Thurman was getting walked down by a 135 who got stopped at 140. People are sleeping on Lubin. He beats the breaks off of Danny or Thurman. Thurman and Spence were dabbling around 152 when Andrade was there. When he called their names, they went back to the 147 safe zone. Thurman will fight Ugas or Sadam Ali at 154 or PBC will find a 140 they can bring up 2 classes. Maybe he fights Broner.

Danny beat Morales twice, Judah, Malinaggi, Matthysse, Khan, Holt, Campbell, Rios, Guerrero, and yes, Peterson.

Guerrero won 3 legit world titles in 2 weight classes and also won 3 interim belts in 2 more weight classes. Turned pro over 20 years ago and has been in there with Gamaliel Diaz twice, Eric Aiken, Orlando Salido, Malcolm Klassen, Joel Casamayor, Andre Berto, Floyd Mayweather, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Omar Figueroa, and Victor Ortiz. He went 6-5-0-1 in those fights.

Guerrero is far from a HOF guy but it's absurd to call him a bum. He's been in 9 world title fights and 3 interim title fights.

All the people you named for Garcia are old bro. Judah, morales, holt, Campbell and Malignaggi. The only prime one is mathysee and Khan. Also the robbery Peterson and rios sucks.

Listing his losses doesn't make him better. He lost to top guys because he himself isn't one. That simple

Has Thurman ever been fit?

Give it up, man.

We tried talking this before around here and nobody listens.

Nobody gives Danny Swift credit for his 140 like they should. Rather, they overrate Crawford who fought weaker opposition and who picked up vacant lineals while Danny Swift cracked Khan's jaw for it (it was NOT because of Lucas, that was just icing on top).

So when Keef says:

“If he was to truly get an opportunity to become a three divisional world champion—what he did at 140 already puts him in the Hall of Fame.

I know NSB doesn't like this, but it's the truth.

People can rewrite history all they want.

[The D3vil]

Nah, neither guy was dominant enough.

[NC Uppercut]

there will always be critics. And they can make valid points. Regardless of having fought or not.

don’t be sensitive to something that’s been happening since the dawn of boxing

I agree. I think I get a little sensitive about some of the Thurman talk, as we have been friends for many years, but I understand your position at the same time.

[Sid-Knee]

Even if you combined the resumes of the two, they don't come anywhere near close to being there. Hell, you could add Crawford and Spence's resumes too and it still falls clearly short off the mark.

What a preposterous discussion.

[SUBZER0ED]

Maybe DSG will make hof. Thurman? To me, he gets an incomplete. And now he's been out of the game too long to pick up his career.

Of course they're old. That's because it happened years ago!! DGarcia isn't a hall of Famer because of his last 3 fights. It's because his body of work. Which includes those fights from way back!

Garcia is a Hall of Famer. Period. Those that don't agree with that, not only are you wrong, but you aren't grasping what he accomplished from top to bottom

I'm not saying the win is old I'm talking about the people and where they were in their careers when the fight happened. Idiot
