Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman back with a ****, blitzes Brock Jarvis

[Boxing 112]

Nice revisionist history but Thurman wanted no part of Spence when he was on the rise and in line for a title shot, that was abundantly clear.

When Spence got the belt he’s not going to reward the guy that avoided him by giving him a shot especially considering Thurman sat around going nothing for 2 years during that time.

Spence was not in let yet and like i said Thurman fought bigger fights and more accomplished at that point. He fought Porter and Garcia. Thurman didn't give an untested upcoming fighter a shot (Spence) Spence ducked a an ex unified champ (Thurman). Facts are WBC in the end ordered the fight and Al Haymon was about to make it. This is what forced Spence to go back to the Bud table. I told people even before the Bud fight on here even the inactive Thurman would have whooped Spence

Keef was ducking Bud and Errol back in 2018. That's just a fact. Spence was virtually begging for that fight. Keef told Bud to get a belt and then he'd fight him.

He dried out pretty bad to make the weight, so maybe his team felt he would be stronger at 154. Also throw in Thurman isn't a natural 154 pound fighter and the layoff and the risk was worth the reward boxing wise.

Thurman fought Diego Chavez at 152vyears ago and looked quite comfortable at that weight. He has the frame for either weight, just like Shane did.

This is the revisionist history.

Errol Spence didn't get lined up for a title until 2017. He won his first title mid 2017.

Keith Thurman was UNIFYING in 2017. After Keith unified he was out injured until he got the Manny payday plus a tune-up.

Spence only called for the fight when it was impossible to get done. Why would a champ fight some prospect who hadn't even fought a former title holder yet???

Look at their records even. There's a reason Spence's team had him avoid a puncher for so long. There's a reason Spence mostly fought blown up lightweights and light welterweights. There's a reason Spence drains down to welterweight instead of fighting guys at lmw. Spence has no chin, Bud showed us that.

Keith was out injured in 2018 and had surgery. Keith unified March 2017 and then was out injured and had surgery. Errol didn't even get the belt until May 2017.

Spence only had Keith's name in his mouth when it was an impossible fight to make. Why would Keith fight a young prospect who hadn't even fought a former champion instead of unifying? Even when Keith came back briefly from injury for a tune-up and then to fight Pacquiao, why would Keith give up a guaranteed career high payday to fight an ATG to fight Spence?

Keith didn't duck, he was Floyd mandatory and lining up a Manny match why fight a nobody spence

The time spence and Thurman had a fight signed it was spence who ducked, just as spence ducked Manny, just as he clogged 54 and ducked fundora...Be consistent with this ducking rhetoric

Keith absolutely beats the brakes off spence...Keith still has elite traits the shyt u can't teach, accuracy, one punch power, explosive speed and athleticism if you understand anything about boxing u would understand spence doesn't have shyt for Thurman....

Spence should be thankful the salesman Thurman sold the spence myth while pursuing the highest level in Floyd and manny

Again just flat out revisionist history. Repeating it again won’t change that.

Thurman wanted no part of Spence. None what so ever and that was extremely clear. You insinuating it was the other way round is comical.

He sat out for 2 years while Spence fought the top fighters. He clearly ducked Spence so even despite that there was no incentive to Spence to give him a shot regardless, let alone when he’d sat around doing nothing for 2 years.

No, it’s not.

Spence was next in line, no one wanted anything to do with him and that includes Thurman. Brook finally stepped up and took that risk to give Spence a shot. Spence was dying to fight Thurman, how can you even deny that? He called it before he was champ and fought every contender when he was champ. Of course Thurman now wanted Spence when he has no title, when he had the title he had no intention what so ever of fighting Spence.

What punchers did Spence avoid? And Thurman isn’t a big puncher anyway so it’s irrelevant.

Fighters are so under appreciated lol. All u ever hear is, "he's a bum", "he got exposed", "he fought a nobody", "he's over rated", "he's got a glass chin", etc.
Meanwhile, some of these expert critics have so much belly hanging over their pants, when they look down, they can't even see their di..ks.
Name me one fighter who a critic never has something negative to say anything about...

Roy Jones Jr dodged quite a bit of criticism while in his prime. They stated that his style was unorthodoxed, but that was it.

[TheProudLunatic]

Why should these fighters be ridiculed at all?

Because there is cause for it
Same as any performer/athlete being ridiculed
