Who is Keef Thurman?

The PAC worshippers are in full mode in a fight about Thurman. Incredible stuff!

Thurman earned and deserved a Floyd fight but you know Floyd was not fighting him.

Floyd likes his opponents slow and shopworn, and Thurman was neither at that time

Or weight drained

They love every fighter that he beat

Wonder how the heck did Brock Jarvis ever fought below 140 in the past. He looked to be towering over Thurman.

Bum Time Run Time Thurman is irrelevant. What a joke of a fight.

What's the excuse for Floyd ducking Thurman Floyd Boy

He couldn't fit him in, in between cherrypicks

I give Floyd credit--at least he sparred Errol. Errol blacked and closed his eye, then Fioyd kicked him out of the gym. But he did call him back and I think he finished sparring with him. But yea, Errol in his prime b4 the accident would have been a very formidable opponent for Floyd. As for Thurman, he was fit and strong enough to hurt Floyd. Don't forget how dangerous and how good Thurman was. At one point, he was truly One Time. At that time, no one was eager to fight him. As for Bud, he has qualities that spell trouble for Floyd. For starters, his IQ is also high. He's not some flat footed, slow plodding fighter. He's cerebral and can make adjustments. Floyd never really fought anyone who could make adjustments as well as Bud. Bud is also mean and wants the knockout. He wouldn't be befuddled by Floyd's style like most people were, and he wouldn't get tired. In fact, he'd be right on top of Floyd, making him fight more than Floyd would want to. And he would catch and hurt Floyd at some point. Not sure what would happen after he hurts Floyd, but I can see Floyd being hurt by him. Maybe Flod would go in his bag and come up with some special effects as he likes to call it, but I don't see that frustrating or changing Bud in any way. Because he's also very strong mentally. Then he's strong physically and on the inside. I mean, Floyd wouldn't be in there playing cute and laying back. He would be in the fight of his life. I just see bad things for Floyd in that fight

Spence and Thurman were hard hitting, natural welterweights who could take his punch and hit him back. Floyd wasn't risking his chin or his 0 against those guys. At welterweight it was lightweights who moved up like Marquez. They steered him clear from natural welterweights

This post is about Thurman. Like I said, you and your ilk can’t help ourselves.
Next time Danny Garcia fights, you’ll all be rushing here to say Floyd ducked him.

Floyd didn’t fight Brandon Rios or Broner or Mathysse or Margarito or Mosley when they were ALL coming off huge losses. I know someone who did. He could have fought Thurman instead of those guys but he waited for Thurman to go through wear and tear to fight him in 2019.
just like he waited for Floyd to be almost 40 to fight him. And he still lost
