I love Keith, he had a great run, but dude needs to stop talking. 2016 was a long time ago.

"Sometimes it’s fun to do different things compared to what we’ve seen in the whole world. And a battle of the sexes, when it comes to boxing, would be different.”

For Thurman to entertain fighting a woman on any level is just plain sad.

Thurman - a legend in his own mind. Perhaps a UFC fight or take on the most in shape professional bowler. It's obvious Keith doesn't want to fight any of the up and coming stars. He wants an easy payday. He ain't gettin it. Keith - move to Jamaica, start hitting those spliffs and heavy blunts. Fade away as soon as possible.

Dude is a fckn trip! If delusional was a person...

Ten years from now, Thurman will be seen stopping passersby on the street, reminding them that he will fight the next month.

If you combine 'Mall an Keef you'd get Andre 3000, depressed and playing flute instead of doing what he's supposed to be doing.

That's his problem! The fights he want, are fights that nobody is asking to see! Nobody wants to see Thurman fighting Crawford, Spence, or Charlo! They want to see him fight Vergil, Boots, and Stanionis, and he feels he's too BIG for them guys!

True. He wants the money guys not the future potential money guys who'll get there off a W over him lol.

Maybe that Errol vs Keef grudge fight can happen if the Bud rematch doesn't happen. I don't see Mell or Bud wasting their time with him tho. If Errol isn't down he might as well retire or fight Boots or Stanionis tho.

His last fight was in February of 2022 after a long layoff. 0 chance he’s this active next year.

LOL yea thats what he reallllllllllllly said here. We all know the odds he gets in the ring 3x in 2024 is like an NFL team that started 0-7 making it to the playoffs. Its possible, just not very likely. But what he said really said is I'm not fighting in 2023 at all so its gonna be 2yrs from his last fight to next one AT MINIMUM now.

And I kinda gotta ask wtf is even the point. I mean Keef is a talented guy. He'd beat guys ranked in the top ten if he'd fought them in 2023. Why is he not even fighting. If he's not fighting why not retire. Dude is 3/4's out of the sport. Just leave or fight the fight you want & then leave.

That's his problem! The fights he want, are fights that nobody is asking to see! Nobody wants to see Thurman fighting Crawford, Spence, or Charlo! They want to see him fight Vergil, Boots, and Stanionis, and he feels he's too BIG for them guys!
