    So Thurman wants no part of Ennis.

    It's looking like these guys are becoming another one fight a year fighters.

        The only way Spence can prove himself is by fighting Crawford, which is reportedly lined up anyway, or the shell of One Time. Nice one, Keef.

          Certainly not in 2022. It may sound silly to some given their career arcs, but prime Thurman (2017 version) absolutely was a good match for both Crawford and Spence. One Time has become a bit of a farce in recent years, but he was the legitimate #1 WW once upon a time.
          I agree that he was elite at 1 point, up until the Danny Garcia fight. But I don’t agree that he was
          ever really a very athletic or “twitchy” fighter. He had some boxing skills and solid power. What Crawford can do with his sharp shooting , counter punching and ability to fight lefty and righty surpasses what Thurman was able to do, even at his best.

              Was not near the best version of Keith, lots of guys would have beat him that night, read the form through Thurman 2 yrs prior to manny then Manny onto to Ugas then Spence, Manny grabbed him like a necktie as soon as Thurman looked sht in his comeback fight,,, a win is not always just a win, the back story is often a reality check.

                Keith is not looking for another run, he wants the biggest money bail-out fights, he don't want to be retired by a low pay high-risk young gun.

                  That's not what he said late last year. Thurman: I Have All The Admiration To Perform Three Fights In 2022 To Make Up For Lost Time
                  Keith Thurman is not only eager to resume his career but also return to an activity rate that preceded his lengthy title run. The former unified welterweight titlist is set to end a career-long layoff with a showdown versus former secondary junior welterweight titlist Mario Barrios. The bout tops a February 5 Fox Sports Pay-Per-View telecast from Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, the same town that hosted Thurman’s last fight more than two years ago.

                      Keith! You're not even relevant! Stop putting yourself in a position as if you can really make a difference. That's why you ducked him all of them years and wouldn't fight him! Errol Spence has more than proven himself! He's beaten 3 champions along his route! You said all of that about yourself and TC, but you also didn't mention, neither one of you has never come up against someone like Errol Spence, Jr., either!
