Comments Thread For: Thurman Explains Why He Calls Mayweather an 'Old Man'

[Boxing Goat]

Don't waste your breath Keith, Floyd seems to be getting out of the Pacquiao fight again and will fight a couple cream puffs before retiring undefeated.

I feel like Haymon is holding Thurman back so that people don't start calling for him and Floyd to fight.

Thurman don't have to explain anything...KEEP CALLING MAYWEATHER OUT! This is boxing, this is the way it should be, you can respect a guy all you want but if he is in your way from being coming a STAR and become great yourself...Then He Has To Get It To!

People should get upset with Thurman for calling guys out, he should be commended, this is the way boxing SHOULD BE! Contenders going after Champions and the Best Of The Best!

I like the way Thurman speaks his mind - he isn't out to win the Floyd lottery and fair play to him for that.

If Thurman continues to progress and take on more accomplished fighters then he is the best pick for Floyds 'successor'.

But I think he needs another 3-4 fights over the next 2 years.

At the moment he is still a prospect - but an exciting one to watch.

I dont think Thurman will ever get chance and thats ok. As good as i think Thurman is right now i dont think hes ready for Floyd. But like i mentioned in another thread i think Thurman is really good right now but I truly believe he can be great. Time will tell. In the mean time im excited to for this kids career.

Thurman vs Maidana, who do you think wins?

[nacho daddy]

Thurman will not be around at 40 in a ring he will have been KO'd many times and might be slurring by then and I do not even like mayfeather

Thurman vs Maidana, who do you think wins?

Right now i would favor Maidana but not by much. 60/40 i would say. Maidana would be slightly favored by me simply because of the Exp he has over Thurman. But it would be one of those big fights he should take in 2015. If offered.

MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Recently, hard punching Keith Thurman (23-0, 21KOs) branded WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (37-0, 26KOs) as an "old man."

Thurman believes Mayweather, who is closer to 40 than he is to 30, is very close to retirement, and points to Floyd calling himself TBE [The Best Ever] as proof.

Thurman returns on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in as Vegas, when he defend his WBA interim-welterweight championship against Leonard Bundu (31-0, 11KOs) in a Showtime televised fight.

I agree with Thurman 100%.....I would pick him to beat Floyd today or tomorrow

I like Thurman but he's not ready for Floyd. ****** fight for Floyd to take as well. Serves not purpose.

I already know why: Keith likes to get paid.

WAR ONE TIME!!!
