Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman On Impending Ugas Clash: 'If Thurman Loses, Thurman Might Be The Next Gatekeeper'

the winner should fight Boots or the winner of Boots/Stanionis is Stani not scared of Boots. This would create enormous pressure for the winner of EJ/Bud to fight them, and we have time because we will probably get Bud/EJ II at the end of the year.

'Once Upon A Time' Thurman talking in the 3rd person is becoming annoying now.

What's up with boxers talking about themselves in the third person? Do any other athletes in other sports do this?

I think Mayweather would do it sometimes, because he’s one of the most narcissistic people who ever lived.

Only Thurman does it

Roy, Floyd too.

Hmm not usually such a good look to talk of oneself in the third person, except at certain times, as in a light hearted way.

Thurman is a very good fighter, not top four at welterweight, but he'd be competitive against anyone.

Keef ALREADY is a gatekeeper

Somehow I don't see Thurman having a problem with that. It just means he gets opportunity after opportunity regardless of his activity status

Thurman does it more annoyingly than others, but I've definitely heard plenty of athletes speak about the themselves in the third person. From Rickey Henderson to LeBron James, it's been going on a long time. It's not just athletes either. "Kneel before Zod!"
