Thurman talking about himself using the third person is just priceless! " Keith done this... and this... he's this and that...". Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode " The Jimmy".

Ol' Keef. He dances to the best of a different drum. I liked him coming up as a prospect and he had some compelling fights against Garcia and Porter. The injuries, marriage and other distractions led to a lot of inactivity. One Time used to be a reference to his power now it's a reference to how often he fights every couple of years.

Ha!
Apparently Keith "Out Of Time" Thurman was too busy talking about himself and didn't get the memo that he's no longer relevant.

Thurman got lost like Danny Jacobs, in their lady's veejay...

The self loathing is just unbearable

Keith was a decent fighter at one point but not as good as he thought of self! His problems now is activity, aging and fighting nobody’s that won’t show that he’s shopworn as I and many others see him. He’ll try to build himself for a good easy payday, but I can’t see promoters falling for the BS!

The inactivity started in 2017 when he was at his peak and had alot of momentum then for the reasons you mentioned so he is just trying to cash out. It seems he is following the "Zab is back baby" method, 1. fight unknown journeymen or 2, fight someone who is ok but beatable for a vacant title, 3. Get crushed by a top tier fighter for a good payday.

Y'all may not like Keith, but I think he's always been a straight shooter. Unlike most boxers with pat answers, Keith talks real. Yeah, the 3rd person talking is annoying, but Thurman gives actual insight. I, personally, believe his answers.

Injuries are real. Keith had injuries to his hands even when he was coming up, as many punchers do, such as Floyd. Had time off here and there. Certainly, as you get older it's easier to get injured and takes longer to heal.

Business of boxing is real. You can tell Keith isn't trying to be specific and throw PBC under the bus bc that wouldn't help his career, but you can read between the lines. After Thurman beat Barrios, Keith was supposed to fight Ugas and they gave it to Barrios instead. Ugas took what he thought was the easier fight. Still got clobbered. Shortly after that, Showtime Boxing was gone. Haymon and PBC shelved practically their whole stable for a year and half. And y'all remember 2020, right? All that B.S. Thurman told Porter recently that he was offered the fight with Formella first (that Shawn took), but declined it because he didn't want to fight in "the bubble". Bad move in retrospect.

The last thing I'll say is Thurman is ALWAYS in exciting fights (well, not the Bundu one, bc Bundu got on his bike after getting knocked down in the first). Go watch his past fights! Excellent action, drama, and boxing skill. So, y'all should root for Keith to get back in the ring. And he's great at promoting fights.

I'm good! I allow you to keep riding his left and right balls, I have never been impressed with his over hyped ass and he's quite boastful without substance.

U can take that to the bank!
