Comments Thread For: Thurman Intrigued By Title Shot at 154: You Send the Paperwork Over I'll Probably Sign It

[The Conundrum]

Lara doesn't have a title @ 154, so the title of the article is a bit misleading! Lara has been around a long time! Funny how popular he's gotten in past few months! Maybe because he just turned 39 in April? Hmmm!

exactly! Once one of the most avoided fighters.

and the article writer is clueless.
1) Jermell Charlo is UNDISPUTED champ at 154
2) even if the writer does want to include the meaningless WBA ‘regular’ title, Lara vacated that particular belt at 154 in order to fight for the same belt at 160

Keith speaks like he is a hot commodity. He ain't no McGregor, who could sell out MSG just simply standing there.

Amazing how Thurman REFUSES to call out Charlo, Conwell, Ramos or Ennis, Stannionis, Crawford, Spence, Ortiz, etc, etc. and languishes in his #1 and #3 rankings across the 147 organizations instead of fighting a contender in either 147/154 to earn a shot. Hope he hits a wall and has to fight a young gun to get a shot.

"probably sign it." As long as he's the A-side, right? lol....nobody even remembers who Thurman is.

Keef "All Talk Time" Thurman. Like Danny, Lara eats him up with straight lefts while he is throwing those telegraphed looping punches. No way he can pressure Lara like Hurd and Angulo either. That's how you beat Lara, not trying to play a reach contest, 74'' vs 67''. Keef is a certified clown now.

The board is 100% correct. We are going to see a fraud catchweight or 154 fight between Keef and 11 toes again.

Lara isn’t a champion.

Lara has a belt at middleweight, not 154.

I like Keith but let's get real. He got beat by Old Man Pacquiao handily and he's done nothing since. He doesn't deserve to be fighting for a World Title at this stage. He should fight fringe contenders to prove he's still within contention.

Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman vs Jermall Charlo. Who you picking?

Agree 100%. If its Danny im fine. Hell the Lara title is fraudulent so if they do it fine.

It just better not be him fighting Spence, Crawford or Charlo.
