Now this dude is whining because he literally has nothing anybody wants, except for up and coming fighters like Boots Ennis, who'd love to add Keith's name to their resume.

He's not wrong in the sense that the fight wasn't as big Spence won the IBF belt. At the time, Keith was the guy at 147 and fighting Errol wouldn't bring in as much money as Porter or Garcia.
Spence was where Boots is at now. So when people say Thurman ducked Spence, I ask those people is Spence ducking Boots? The answer is obviously no for the latter but then you have to be consistent and say no for the former as well *shrug*wileyhemi likes this.

I’ve said it for many years , Keef got one foot out the door
Seems to me he just barking all over the place to get one big fat last pay lol
He just trying to ruffle chit up without earning it
Then he’ll be back to the retreat , meditating and doing all kinds flowery things hippie styleBoxingfanatic75 likes this.

For those who don't know, Thurman is flat out lying!!!
This fight was personally endorsed by Floyd Mayweather.
Mayweather offered to drop one of his titles and ask Al to let Spence and Thurman fight for it, with the winner getting a gautanteed shot at Floyd himself.
Thurman said Hell No, Spence said Hell Yes, and that is why it did not happen.
Floyd recognized it would be a classic and would be even better for him to fight the winner of that clash because it would make more money for him that way.
Thurman didn't want the smoke though.
Don't let this clown fool you.Combat Talk Radio likes this.
