Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Was The Guy Calling Out Mayweather; Now I'm The One These Other Guys Are Calling Out

I disagree, he fought Porter and Danny Garcia when they were young and considered 2 very dangerous opponents for anyone at the top of the division. I don't like the way he seems to be waiting for the exact fights that he wants, as if he holds the leverage or is revered by his peers to that extent, but it doesn't diminish what he did in the ring. Its just all of these injury issues and periods of inactivity need to stop.

I like Garcia and Porter, but they tended to lose their biggest fights at 147. Thurman squeaked by them with higher punch rate and accuracy. And then he got punked by old man Pac. I'm not really convinced that he did anything but win the round robin with the 4th and 5th best guys in the division.

He has very credible wins at WW and was the deserved #1 guy there for a bit. Then he got married and soft. A focused and ready Thurman (2017 version) would have beaten an old Pacquiao clean.

It was the forced long time out with major surgeries that derailed his career, I agree a focused " he was seen in the Casinos playing up at 4am day of Manny fight " and injury free Thurman would have beaten Manny, then he got more injury during the fight and more surgery after it, right now Keith is trying to cash out and doesnt want to get destroyed by the young lions surrounding him, he is looking for a cash-out title fight and he has always been mouthy.

There's a ton of guys u could b fighting at PBC, just pick one and get back in the ring already. U got ugas, stanionis, butaev, Crowley, or a rematch with Danny. I didn't mention boots or Vergil cause we all know u ain't risking a loss to an up and comer. Benn would b a solid fight but I don't see that happening with the promotional situation. Personally I just don't think ur hearts in it anymore and ur just waiting for a cash out or to pick up a vacant belt to say ur a champ again. Just fight someone or retire already, I'm tired of hearing ur BS.

Thurman lost to Manny straight up stop making excuses.

Now in addition to the injury excuse, he was up ******** as well. Ok

Conor Benn is fighting Chris Eubank Jr., so Thurman is the last guy on his mind now.
Thurman vs Benn is far from happening, anyway. That's like hoping for a stone to turn into a bread.
Who are we kidding?

People just need to focus on Ennis and Thurman who are both PBC fighters.

So Thurman is waiting, Ennis is also waiting for the Spence/Crawford winner.
Assuming the superfight happens in December, then both fighters could be back 6 months later, if you're lucky.

This is truly sad. These guys won't be seen in the ring for about a year or more since their last fights because they're waiting, instead of fighting.

Truly sad indeed.

sounds like an excuse. Pac was 40 and had already been KTFO several times and been in more wars.

I cant wait for this corn ball to retire.

Who’s calling this clown out? Nobody wants to be in snoozer with holding on the inside and running around the ring.

Oh Keith "Call me out One Time" Thurman thinks he is relevant this day and age in boxing. Sad part is, he's about as important on paper as Broner is on paper. Keith losing to Pacquiao only to see Ugas beating Pacquiao and having a long layoff caused him more damage than any other fighter I could recently think of that fell off the map quickly. Dam Keith oughta just rematch Danny and call it a day if he loses which I think he will. Keith should fight easy scraps like Brook and the sort. Peace!

Is Berto still fighting? I would like to see Thurman vs Berto ...
