    This Was Suppose to be Thurman’s Moment

    I believe Keith Thurman is one of the most tragic waste of talents it is. No matter the criticism let’s not pretend this guy can’t fight and has an awesome resume. His only lost being to an all time great and even that was by narrow margin. It saddens me because I truly believe Thurman could have beat Tim Tzuyu tonight and put his name right back at the top tier. Now his name fades back to obscurity and Spence attempts to snatch the opportunity. I hope he gets his moment.

    Thurman being 35 now with 1-1 record in the last five years and not fighting the past two years is completely on him though. He's retired in my memo along with Jermell.

      Yet the guy who is 34, fought only 3 times in the last 4 and a half years with a 2-1 record the last being a brutal beating and has had just as many injuries,

      can come into the ring to hype up a fight vs the winner and likely even get that fight

        Spence doesn't deserve it either, but PBC loooves Spence and is still willing to try to dress him up. That doesn't change the fact that Thurman hasn't done anything to get a chance.

        Oh, and I believe Spence is 200% overrated and in a perfect world Spence and Thurman should fight eachother next just so people can see which two has beens deserve another shot.

          Further demonstrates the pro-US bias in the sport. The Ring still has Spence P4P #8.

            Thurman priced himself out.

              If I was Al Id sign Boots and give Thurman a retirement payday to get slaughtered by Boots

                Thurman clearly does not have a great resume. Pac was an ATG, but was far far past his prime and didn't win another fight in his career. Garcia and Porter are the 2 notable wins, that's pretty far from greatness.

                  Garcia would be the best win on Crawford's resume
