    Should Thurman Fight Spence?

    On Floyds undercard?

    and if there is a title to be gained from it?

    and if he wins he will have a title and could position himself for Floyds 50th fight?

    From a business and career stand point does this fight make sense?

    also Spence is still green

    or is the risk not worth it?

    Spence don't make sense for One Time.

    Fair play to Thurman, he actually admitted his hypocrisy on the matter cos he was calling out Floyd after beating nobody. I like him.

      Even with a title on the line? and being known at the slayer of Floyds son? The New Broner? and heir to the throne ?

      We know Floyd will come back for the 50...what better way to make ur case for that fight

      Although there is a risk involved as we dont know how good Spence truly is and if Thurman loses, that will set him back

        I don't think Floyd is even serious about that. He used to say Khan should fight Jessie Vargas when he promoted him.

          Absolutely not. Thurman should be going forward, not serving as a step up fight for an up & comer. Thurman should be getting guys like Khan, Brook, Maidana by now.

          It's a very good fight don't get me wrong and I'd love to see it, but from Thurman's perspective it makes no sense and it feels dirty (like he's being used to advance the career of another man).

            My path for Thurman would be Porter after Collazo. Maidana/Khan sometime early next year and then Brook sometime in the middle of next year. Assuming Thurman and Brook keep winning, that would be a massive fight. Spence just does'nt make sense in anyway shape or form at this point.

              Depends what his other options are. It would be an attractive offer if it's big money and a legit title. Though 12/9 is too soon after the Collazo fight

                Why not, Spence has been running his mouth and he's clearly a good fighter. It would be bigger in the future, but Thurman said if they put an offer on the table for him even now, he's a 'yes man'.

                5 realistic fights I wanna see Thurman in - Porter, Maidana, D.Garcia, Brook and Spence.

                    It would be better for Thurman to beat him now then wait for him to get better.
