Comments Thread For: ?I want some transparency:? Keith Thurman keeps it real amid wait for injured Fundora

[Coverdale]

Thurman has fought twice in the six years since he lost to Pacquiao. Once at 154lbs against a domestic level fighter. Thurman is not in the TBRB top ten and doesn't deserve this shot.

Keith is a victim of the sport. I know him since early teens in St Pete, just a beast of a puncher, no fear, dominant force taught by the late Ben Getty. Very strong, huge puncher but never really was taught boxing skills. Supposedly KOed Berto in sparring when he was still amateur and Berto was a name pro. Sparred Tarver and Winky. The rumor was he's even older than his given age, some kind of birth cert trick for amateur advantage. Quick rise as pro, was ready to beat Mayweather but Haymon protected Floyd from the KO loss and kept Keith apart. Keith never got the big fights when he was primetime. Berto got that Floyd shot as a hired patsy then ran off with the money. Keith would have KOed Floyd I have no doubt, no way Floyd could hold off Keith's brutal onslaughts. Keith then over-ripened on the vine and started to decline. Haymon wasted him and misused him as a pawn but he would have slayed Floyd like Mayorga slayed Forrest. Now Keith is just a patsy waiting for the last payday. And even getting scroowed out of that after all the scroowings Haymon gave him.

It’s amazing that Keith has your ass fooled as well, thinking he’s great! GTFOH Keith loss to a faded washed up Manny Pacquiao. Then you have the nerve to call yourself his friend and spread venom about what caused his career to be less, with friends like you I don’t need enemies! Dammmm just put all his business in the streets because many folks don’t know what put a strain on his career, but thanks to a friend like your bragging self, then you have nerve to boost him later like he’s some legend, hell to the nawwwww, Keith had some good wins and a solid career nothing more and no one miss his ass either!

keith your injury set in motion the entire downfall of aussie tzu lol

he decided to fight lanky on short notice got cut & the wheels fell off the bus from there on in

lanky has now milked that title for all its worth, i think haymon is his manager, hes done a great job for him it seems

bizarrely the wbc have ortiz as an interim champ which i thought was only due if the 'real' champ could not fight & also now boots ennis is also an interim champ, this division takes little baby steps forward with all of them for some reason avoiding some russian guy on top of all the mess lol

Sampson Lewkowicz is Fundora's manager.

Most likely. Haymon is notoriously known as an "advisor".

Not a friend of his, just familiar with this career from amateur days, He was electric as a kid, but Haymon wasted him and prioritized Floyd Fraud. Thurman got shafted like Paul Williams who would have 120-108ed Floyd. Now Thurman is done, he's looked average for years. But you forget how good he was in his prime. I know he would have slaughtered Floyd but he wasn't allowed to.
