Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman still interested in Tim Tszyu fight, but only if it makes sense

He'll price himself out.

Thats not what i read. He seems to recognise and acknowledge that there will be less money on the table than the original offer last year. He also acknowledges thst there are no other offers or contracts being offered at this point. If he wanted to price hike...he would at least try to play them off against another imaginary offer and get them into a fake bidding war.

That guy sure likes to blabber. Do us all a favor and trim down his endless rambling monologues from now on.

Why another article about Thurman? He's a gatekeeper and doesn't even know it. The interviewer should ask him, "So what's it like to be a gatekeeper now?"

He may not price himself out against Tim, because he knows he has a chance. But against Ortiz or Murkhazaliev, he will. Because he knows he will lose badly and it will be the end.

Turning down the Ugas fight was a greatest mistake he could have made.

Dude would have been handed that world title on a silver platter. Not sure if he priced himself out or wanted a bigger fight. Insane.

Now he's in Oz fighting Tszyu for a couple hundred k and no belt.

Thurman will hang another loss on Tim Tszyu.

Who? Thurman

Keith just needs to stay active and healthy. His body has broken down since his 2017 fight with Danny Garcia. Since that time he has not been the same fighter.

He needs to keep his eyes off the pie in the sky and just focus on fighting anyone. These injuries and long layoffs have really aged him.

Who? Thurman

Yes. I think he knows that if he faces Ortiz or Murthazaliev, it will really be the end, so he'll keep that kind of challenge for last, before really retiring.
