Comments Thread For: Thurman Says Crawford Didn't Beat 'Real Champion' In Spence, Claims He Would Have Wiped Errol Too

[Jab jab boom]

This guy went from beating prime versions of danny Garcia and Porter to getting rocked out of his boots by Josesito Lopez, losing to a 40 yr old pac, and looked unimpressive with Barrios who was coming off a ko loss to a 130 pounder at the time. He’s in no position to talk about anyone else not being the same fighter.

No one at 147 would have beat Crawford that night, Spence could've been Juiced to the grills still wouldn't have been enough.

Skills pay the bills and Crawford has all the skills

Imo, Thurman beats that version of Spence too. He was way too tight at the weight and although he thankfully didn't use it as an excuse, it was apparent to a knowledgable fan. Spence signed to fight at the weight and Crawford caught him at the perfect time. Sort of like Keith was supposed to do to Manny when they fought. I still think Crawford beats Spence, and I predicted it before the fight, at any weight. Levels. Spence and Thurman are both below Crawfords and might as well throw DSG in that group also. It was just a weak era after Floyd retired.

Thurman is my man, but him and Danny had entire careers where they just fought all around Bud without ever pushing that they wanted to fight him. Bud is 100% just speaking truth. These same guys would always say "call Al, I just fight whoever they out in front of me", knowing damned well that Bud was always excluded from any of their current and future plans. These guys never seemed eager or willing to face Bud b4. They'd always say he never fought nobody, and that was designed to make Bud seem small and unimportant. These guys acted like spoiled divas always talking about "I'm the A-side, I'm the top dog, I'm rich, I got cars, look at my house", etc. The truth is, Bud should give these guys a few dollars and just beat them both up to settle the score and punish them for years of denying him a fair shake, beat them for all the comments, the avoiding him, for holding him back from glory. I like Danny and Keith, but It's only right. Bud has to punish these men to show that he was always the better man. He already pushed Shawn and Errol's sh.t back, now he has to beat up the entire PBC roster. Keith's beautiful wife from Nepal is probably telling him he better go get a payday for her, so Keith could be getting desperate. He's fighting 12 rounders on the keyboard, but he has to get in the ring and do something for a change. These PBC guys are wayyy to inactive. They sit around holding out for certain fights. They pick and choose instead of staying busy. They're active fighters officially, but very inacrive in real life.

Bud's done with the fish and goes for the meat

Less talking, more fighting.

Why are we still talking about Thurman??? Until he fights Boots or Stanionis, PLEASE don't give him anymore press!!! GTFOH already!

Thurman say this and Thurman says that, and Thurman says, "Ben Getty told me, "hey kid you can't sell hot chocolate to a Eskimo, so get a day job boxing day old tomatoes or parking cars."

Give it a rest Keith.

Thurman is full of it. While I do agree that the Spence Crawford beat was not the Spence of old (he was weight drained wether you believe it or not) I don't believe Thurman beats that Spence either....

Thurman should fight more often, and keep his talking points to a bear minimum. Fighting only 3 times in 6 years, does not make him an active fighter.
