Comments Thread For: Thurman on Crawford: You Want Full Acknowledgement? You Need To Take Out a Thurman or a Spence!

Keith is easy work for Bud.

That's not what BoMac said.

Careful what you wish for Keith. Bud smokes you at any point in your career, especially now.

It's 2023, nobody cares about Queef Thurman.

Thurman is a good fighter but I wish he'd shut up. Dude fights once a decade. Just shut up. Or put up.

Thurman's inactivity has drastically decreased his value. I'm tired of his delusional and complacent behavior. He should be forced to fight Ennis.

Only difference between him and Spence is Spence is allowed to keep the belts hostage with no mandatories or no fights

Spence has fought 2 times in 3 years and 8 months and Thurman has fought once in the same time. They are not far apart in activity but people make out like they are just cause Spence gets to hold the belts hostagr

Crawford made a wise decision to face Avanesyan. If he didn't, he would be suffering from inactivity too.

Unlike Bud, Spence has unified 3 belts. Only one’s left.
After beating Horn in 2018, Bud has fought the likes of Khan and Brook.

I cant wait for Bud v Spence. THurman fights winner. We need to know who the best WW in the world is. Im not saying bud and Spence are superstars. I just want to know who the best WW is, in the same way id like to know who the best middleweight is or cruiserweight.

Where’s an A-list fighter who’s actually keeping busy? To me, it seems like the vast majority of them sit around for a year to a year and a half at a time. When they finally go at it, too often the opponent is hand-picked to ensure the A-list guy doesn’t go up against someone •too• good.

Once in a while, they make a real contest. Fury/Wilder comes to mind. But for the most part, the business of boxing suppresses the sport of boxing to the point of making the sport, and some of its premier talent, irrelevant.

For the most part, the resume of Terence Crawford, 'at least according to Keith Thurman', has always been widely unimpressive.

(Keith Thurman is slipping, and now needs a refresher course from Rolly Romero or even Adrien Broner on how to sell a fight)

“Yea you beat Shawn,” said Thurman to ESNEWS recently. “But you want to be fully acknowledged? You need to take out a Keith Thurman, you need to take out an Errol Spence Jr.”

hahaha....what happened to the Spence vs Thurman fight at a catch weight with no belt at stake?

And, why is it 'NOW' after all of these years of ducking him, "Crawford needs to take out a Keith Thurman or a Erroll Spence to be fully acknowledged?

(Easy answers: Because Thurman, no longer is a PBC W/W Champion, and both are looking for the biggest cash-out fight that is out there for them....and that's with Crawford.)

If Terence 'Bud' Crawford fights either Thurman or Spence at this point, it would be worse then the Mayweather vs Pacquaio for his legacy.

Let the 'Big Fish fight 'The Big Mouth' and then the winner fight Crawford in a Mayweather style 'exhibition match', because neither one of them deserve to be in the ring with Crawford, in a real 'sanctioned boxing match for his long time held WBO title.

No troll, just facts.
