Comments Thread For: Spence: Facts Is I'm Fighting Somebody Else; Crawford Is, Too, But A Tune-Up

[Boro]

Thurman has resume superior to Crawford's and has only 1 loss, to a legend. He would KO Avanesyen the same as Bud knows that he's going to.

What superior resume the perpetual losers Porter and Garcia who has done nothing north of 40... get real.

They wanted to fight TC and he says their names were not on the table, Ennis said Id fight TC in a heartbeat but we never got the call, the Irony is if TC was fighting Ennis nobody would care that he walked away from Spence, but to walk away to b grader DA while Ennis is saying why didn't you call me if you're the boss.

Forget Boots for a second, because he would've still had to deal with Al Haymon, what about fighting your mandatory, WBO# 1, Vergil Ortiz Jr.! Vergil sells as well as Crawford does! Why couldn't he have talked to Oscar?

They were in their prime and Danny was undefeated.

Spence fans have been trashing Thurman all these years, now he's suddenly a good opponent. Make up your minds! LOL

Thurman is not even in the same class as Avanesyen, it would be a bloodbath type of KO. Compare Thurman's opponents to Crawford's if you want to laugh. Thurman has fought much harder competition, and his only loss is to Pacquiao which was a close fight, but Manny won due to the knockdown.

inactivity, injuries and time. Thurman now is not Thurman then. The same Pac who had been finished for years and lost by a wide margin to Ugas, still beat Thurman.

As if Thurman isn't a tune-up at this point in his career.. Put Keith "once upon a time" in with Avanesyan, just for ****s and giggles, and see what happens.

Joke!

Mikey Garcia > Barrios. Spence and Thurman fought 2 natural 135 lbers when they both have fought around 152. Andrade and a few 154s made them think twice about that extra 2 lbs. Avanesyan is coming off of 6 stoppages. What would he do with Barrios? Crawford destroys Mikey and Barrios on the same night. $80 PBC trash. Thurman is not the same fighter who fought Diego Chaves and Porter, not by a long shot or just a shot fighter at this point.

thanks for the reminder crawford is suing Top Rank


Hope it gets exposed on court that Top Rank actually lost money over crawford's welterweigth career. He is insane suing them claiming they ripped him off or discriminated against him when they over paid him to fight complete bums. Now the guy is a free agent and still fighting bums, looks like Top Rank wasnt the problem, crawford is

This is the truth but I think Thurman brought that on himself with his clear ducking and long stretches of inactivity. On paper he's still the best option for Spence as at least he is a former champion himself and not completely shot.

I'd be ok with Stanionis too, people get too upset about giving these new fighters a chance but if they never gave Pacquiao or Maidana chances they wouldn't be known how they are now.
