New Thurman interview

[SintilatingDTS]

He has to take the Alexander fight if its offered.

Keith has real charisma, he is hard to dislike. I hear people say Floyd and Broner have charisma, but its the furthest thing from the truth, they are corny and rehearsed. This guy is entertaining and I look forward to all his interviews and fights.

Is this guy going to fight soon or just call out fighters he knew won't have interest in fighting him? Why do these media people not asking about Alexander? What are they there for?

If his reason for avoiding Alexander is because there's little money in that fight, then he's basically doing the same thing his fans accuse other fighters of. Fighters who are allegedly ducking him.

Is the Alexander fight going to happen or what?

He has called Alexander more times than Alexander has called him out. Alexander said on twitter he would fight Thurman, Thurman responded in an interview. You're acting like Alexander is campaigning for the fight and Thurman is turning it down. They have both said they want the fight.

Did you know that Thurman actually called Alexander out a year ago, before there was even mention of the fight? Let it go you dumb, boring

He has said money is not important to him and he wants to fight for legacy, in his own words - 'I'm a pride fighter not a prize fighter'.

Didn't see this was already posted.

I'm really starting to like Thurman these days. He's getting a raw deal, but is willing to fight everyone. He needs that one break against a big name, and he's in. Maybe a Shawn Porter fight or a Bradley fight would be good for him, though I'm sure Bradley will be looking at a bigger name.

Seriously, I just want someone, anyone worth a damn to give Thurman a shot. Alexander is a good start. Hope it happens. If he can beat Alexander impressively, something bigger might await him.

The fight was offered to Porter a few months back but his team turned it down, his dad said it would be a bigger fight in the future.

Guerrero is absolutely terrified of Thurman. He's come up with every excuse in the book not to fight him.

Dev to his credit has said he would take the fight, Thurman has also said he would like to fight Dev, so it's down to Haymon/GBP now.

So you're saying someone is holding up the fight. And you're not willing to blame him for not taking responsibility in making it happen?

If he has zero power in choosing his fights, then what's his point of calling out these fighters when he's got no say in the negotiating table?

Point is he should just stfu.

Obviously he has some kind of say in who he fights, but ultimately the final decision is down Haymon/GBP. The fight might actually happen btw, so let's wait and see.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

It's just so defeatist though. I would never publicly state that another man could beat me at anything no matter how delusional I am lol.

...That's not what he's saying. He's basically saying that he's not scared to take a risk, no matter how tough his opponent is. There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, in this era where people think having an "0" is what makes them great, it's good to see one boxer who has an "0" and is not bragging about it. That's the way every boxer should act.
