Comments Thread For: Abel Sanchez Is Giving Thurman Little To No Chance Against Spence

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Well before Errol Spence Jr. became a unified welterweight champion and pound-for-pound stalwart, the Dallas native called for a showdown against former WBC and WBA champion, Keith Thurman.

Hard not to disagree, I don't think this version of Thurman is a top 10 Welterweight, but he somehow becomes next in line via the WBC (thank you Al Haymon and the corrupt Sulaiman).

Hasn't it been like 4 years since Thurman had a win against a WW???

Abel is the same guy that thought Zurdo was going to beat Bivol. He's becoming more like Teddy Atlas

You don't need boxing experts to know who everyone is predicting to win. It's not about the skill level, but the size difference. Thurman is a small welterweight and frail. Ugas would punch him like a rag doll just like he did Pacquiao.

You can definitely not name 10 WW better than Thurman presently

You can definitely not name 10 we better than Thurman presently

If Thurman beats any of these guys, it will be via rigged cards to set him up for a fight with Spence which he already has via corruption

Crawford
Spence
Ortiz Jr
Ennis
Stan
Avan - 6 stoppages in last 6 fights
Benn - with/out gear
Ugas - Beaten by 3 prospects but Thurman is so past it. They'd have to rig the cards like the Porter fight
Butaev - Big and durable with 4-5 in reach avg on Thurman
Giovani Santillan - southpaw, very active with heavy, heavy bodywork

Thurman, beaten by Manny and 1 fight in 600 days vs a 135 lber who made Thurman backpaddle from the bodywork) in his current condition can beat Blair Cobb, his twin.

People still living off of the Thurman vs Diego Chaves dream.

Even his prime he kept walking into Chaves counters and got his nose broken.

He’s right. Keith Thurman has never been same fighter since his Danny ‘Swift’ Garcia fight where he injured his elbow and required surgery back in 2017.

You're trippin'. Thurman surely beats everybody on this list except Crawford, Spence, Ennis, and Ortiz. And I think he beats Ortiz.

Agreed. I'm hoping he can finally get back to that. But, even as a Thurman fan I'm realistic enough to say that even pre-2017 injury Keith would probably have been an underdog against Spence. Even before the injuries, he lost that killer instinct and went with more of a Floyd approach to fighting.
