I give him ZERO chance to beat Boots Ennis @ 154! He should fight WBC #1 Contender Charles Conwell @ 154!

I had totally forgot about Thurman.

i get the impression that fighters like him and Jermall have one foot out the door.
And are just waiting for a good enough payday to motivate them to fight again.

Considering the fact that boots ennis couldn’t do something so basic as to cut off the ring when he fought karen chukhadzhian and another fact that boots has never fought even a top 10 fighter , Keith has more than a “zero” chance here

I think Crawford will fight Thurman, he's a name and can sell a fight, plus Crawford would stop him; in a good fight while it lasts!

Wasting valuable space on Keith!!!

Considering the fact that Boots won every round vs. Karen, 120-108 by all 3 judges, if Keith uses that same tactic, he still loses, he just won't be KO'd!

Thurman is not fit to be at 154. His body is only designed for the 147 division. He's small, skinny and he's frail-looking. I've never seen him rehydrate fully so that he's bigger than his opponent on fight night. His skills are his best asset, not his physique.

Keith would be no pushover for Boots. Thurman navigates the ring better than Ennis and clearly has a higher ring IQ. The issue for Keith would be his inability to deal with body punches well.
