Lets assume Thurman is one of Haymon's favorites like Wilder and Santa Cruz. Thurman could have gone to the UK to fight an inexperienced pint-size welterweight for east O2 money but instead is going to step in the ring with an oversized welterweight who can switch. It would have been better just to take reasonable money vs Crawford and get stopped in the process. And Crawford would stop in him in the current form he is in. It won't be any of the carrying him like he did his childhood amateur buddy Porter.
I just saw Thurman getting walk down in points of a fight with a guy Davis stopped who came up from 135
You have some valid points that I wouldn’t disagree with.
