Comments Thread For: Thurman Shakes Head at Mayweather Offering Spence

[dan_cov]

This post is the birth of, "Thurman is a ducker!"

Watch.

He is a ducker all he does is talk and only signs to fight a continual string of pillow-punchers my little sister could probably go 12 rounds with.

Wake me up when Con-time fights someone with a pulse.
Luiz Collazo lol sheesh.

People have been ducking Thurman, it's not his fault, that's like saying GGG and Deontay are duckers because better opposition don't want to fight them.

Robert Guerrero is a pillow-puncher? At least Luis got in the ring with some of the better and known fighters and got a win vs Victor Ortiz.

The average age of Thurman's last five opponents is thirty-four.Which you have here is a guy with a fan friendly style,who is also very media savvy.He'll say all the right things,but at the end of the day he's on the washed up circuit and has been there for sometime,I mean Danny Garcia has fought a string of decent opponents the last five years,but gets taken a part by fans the moment he fights a guy in the Thurman bracket.

Who is ducking him? Nobody is ducking Thurman or Wilder in fact quite the opposite HWs are licking their lips at the thought of fighting Wilder.

Yes Guerrero is a pillow-puncher isn't that obvious? He doesn't have a single stoppage above super-featherweight.

Amir Khan doesn't want to fight Thurman, Paulie could have fought Thurman but instead is fighting Danny Garcia, I mean there's plentiful WWs and light WWs out there who could step up. Kell Brook hasn't been vocal vs Keith. Maidana is on vacation eating a lot, Porter hasn't been vocal to a Thurman clash.

It's not obvious that Guerrero is a pillow puncher. I think he can knock out the average Joe like you and me and the majority of posters here.

No Stoppages =/= Pillow Puncher.

People aren't ducking Thurman he could've been fought a guy like Alexander,who called him out,but instead he went on to fight a guy like Bundu???And whether people believe that Spence is a finished product or no;he's clearly a step above a guy like Collazo who is clearly on the down side of his career.

Who are ducking Thurman? Who has he offered a fight to that rejected it? And who is ducking Deontay Wilder?

This thread is hilarious. Beating Spence would rank as one of Thurman's 3 best wins - probably #2 after Diego Chaves. We saw what Guerrero did in his last fight. He's washed up and so is Collazo. Thurman's chin has been a protected asset for a long time.

This is a cycle in boxing.

The hunters become the hunted.

In fairness to Thurman, he admitted he was wrong to be calling out Mayweather etc back when he had no significant wins. He seems a straight up guy.

Amir is another who doesn't want to fight anyone that can burst a g**** and I can't fault Paulie even if that was the case. Why fight Thurman for peanuts when you can fight a bigger draw who brings far more to the table and is possibly a somewhat winnable fight?
Porter and Brook have both been vocal on the fight as has Lara and seemingly Spence.
Paulie and Khan, two more guys who can't punch he has tried to chase
After seeing him hit the canvas against a journeyman and get buzzed by a light-hitting past prime Euro operator and buckled badly against relatively light-hitting Karass I see why he is hesitant.

His stoppages came at 126 and even then he was hardly a concussive puncher. He is probably the lightest hitting top 20 ww there is. A volume puncher that still can't stop opponents via accumulation.
