Thurman: "the whole division is ducking me"

[Dean_Razorback]

I'm not having a go at Maidana, but he turned the fight down at the end of the day, rightly or wrongly.

Porter, Guerrero and Pauli have also openly turned Thurman down.

So when people say 'Thurman is a hypejob, he hasn't fought anyone', they'd do well to remember that the big names aren't willing to fight Thurman, not vice-versa.

i never said he was/is a hype job, but i can understand why maidana's tema didn't want the fight back then.

I know you didn't, I was talking about people in general.

I can understand why Maidana turned the fight down at the time as well, which is why I'm not having a go at him. But he did turn it down, that was my point.

Thurman should get the winner of mayweather/maidana though we all know that wont happen.

They are all p*ssies. How many times did each of these guys claim someone was ducking them... Now here they are doing the same. "High risk, low reward"... Isn't Floyd accused of fighting "low risk high reward"? This generation of boxing is so damn lame. Yeah I believe Thurman will most likely beat anyone at 147 that isn't named Mayweather or Pacquiao but we will probably never know because these guys that have a belt or a name are only looking for fights that are jackpots(Mayweather) or they are looking for the fight that will give them the most money without a big enough risk.

Good post

[Russian Crushin]

it doesn't say that in the article, and chino's manager denied it

Say what? He clearly says he agreed to fight him, but then they changed their minds because Thurman has too many KOs and they want an easier opponent

I've like Thurman before he ever appeared on HBO. But dude needs to move up or shut up.

Fighting him makes zero sense for any of the top welterweights right now. THat's not PBP the fan speaking that's just dealing with the realities of boxing.


Thurman vs. Lara. Let's get it done.

If he is a WW why should he move up?

And what this fight does for Lara?

Why would anyone duck Thurman?

He hits like a mule,has a good chin, and boxing skills.

After all, you only have to fight him..."One Time"

He should be a champion someday.
