Comments Thread For: Thurman Isn't Worried About Jaron Ennis: "Like I Ain't Beat Up No Philly Boys Before"

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Boots would put serious hands on Thurman

That's just ******. Ennis is the IBF mandatory which means he desrves the shot. Who did Mean Machine beat to get his shot?

He had a shot on Black Prime. Not Crawford's job to wait on him with glory and riches at 154. I don't know about you guys in this bandwagon stuff.

I say yes, Boots hasn't proven himself yet, lets see him fight Thurman, Danny Garcia, Ugas, then maybe, just maybe then will he deserve a shot at Crawford - but until then, he doesn't deserve that fight, if and when he gets that fight, he will lose, nobody beats Crawford, ever!!!

How did Kavaliauskas and Avanesyan “deserve” the fights with Crawford?
Could you please answer that question.

Thurman u good guy but doing interviews where u say u will do x, y, & z to Boots, is much different than sending him an offer or a contract. If u get in the ring with Boots, the boxing world will be grateful and it will breathe more life into the sport we all love. Let's keep this train going where the best fight the best. Please push to make this fight happen for the fans and also for your bank account.

Cmon man, Keith wasn’t just a contender, he was unified champion against some worthy foes. I know it’s trendy to bash Keith but can’t take that away from him.

I didn't mean it so much as a bash but as a lamentation over a career that promised so much more than it eventually delivered. Keith had accomplished a great deal before he turned 30. After that, a series of injuries and a seeming attitude of apathy has led him to where he is today.

Thurman needs to shut up and fight Ennis. Thurman is like Cousin Eddie in Christmas Vacation where his wife says he has been unemployed for 7 years because he is holding out for a management position. How many fights has Ennis had in the amount of time since Thurman fought Pac? A lot! Ennis should tell Thurman to put up or shut up.

Thurman is so afraid of fighting anyone that he is the BOOGEYMAN - of himself!!

[A.B Counterhooks]

Well it sounds like Keef willing to take that Boots smoke I dont envision him winning that fight but props to him for wanting to test himself against upcoming new blood.

Well Keith ain't afraid of nobody. Fighters are not afraid of other fighters and us real boxing fans know that. Only MMA fans and UFC's fans and McGregor Logan Jake McGregor or whatever their names are, only those fans believe a fighter is scared of another fighter. Keith does have a problem thinking he's all that. He was pretty awesome before the marriage and getting hurt and getting into Buddhism. Yeah he's a young man and it's okay to take years to discover yourself. But you just can't sparsely be involved the last 5 years and expect you can just walk in the ring and beat anybody. I know I know Manny did it to him. And maybe he would beat Boots, but I will put my money on boots, and I think I would have a good percentage to win that money. No disrespect to Thurman. And as far as shields is concerned don't knock him for that, I think him and Shields got something up their sleeve where they make history and a huge pay-per-view event because that would be the first woman versus man in the ring. They don't really have no bad blood between them. All about the money

Boots is an interim champion and has a mandatory position so he can't be avoided based on what he "deserves". Some Crawford fans are afraid of Boots. They will never admit it but they find every reason why Boots vs Crawford should not happen. "Boots needs to fight whoever"; "..he ain't ready; "he gets hit too much". If any of that were true they would calling for Bud vs Boots!
