How Would Thurman’s Legacy Change if He Fights a Boots or Ortiz?

[JuniorTorres720]

Spence and Crawford are about to get it on and the two other top names (Thurman/Ugas) are sitting on the sidelines getting older. I want to focus on Thurman because I like him. Let’s assume Spence and Crawford head to 154 after their fight(s). Let’s also assume that Thurman makes a full blown comeback and faces off against an Ugas and beats him. Let’s say he adds some hardware to his resume and then remains at 147 to face off against the likes of Boots and Vergil Ortiz. How would this scenario and victories over these fighters affect Thurman’s legacy? This is all hypothetical of course. But, as a Thurman fan, I do hope he gives it one more serious go to see how far he can go before hanging up the gloves.

It would do wonders for his legacy. Great comeback.

Ummm..depends on the outcome of the fight

True. I’m sure depending on how he looks and how the fights themselves play out, those will factor into the final answer.

[real raw]

two additional ko losses wont look good.

He keeps sitting on sidelines. As they say ‘you only have one prime’ Keith was starting his and then spent it on the couch

That fire went out a long time ago.

Winning....simply fighting someone is not enough.

Ask Del Bum.

It depends what they would do after the loss.

At this point he gets beat by both. A tuneup to see where he's at and depending how he looks, booty would be his best chance. Ortiz beats tf out of him

Thurman has a great legacy that doesn’t need to be improved upon. He was a dominant force at 147 for a while, was a big draw, did great TV numbers.

Fighting a couple hungry young contenders now that he’s well past prime doesn’t change anything. Win or lose.
