Comments Thread For: Thurman Shakes Head at Mayweather Offering Spence

[elishua F]

isnt he fighting collazo next though .. lol come on thurman.. why not fight the "kid" on the floyd undercard, thatll be the biggest stage hes ever been on and with a belt on the line.

Why would Thurman, a guy whos fought several p4p kings like Soto karass, Guerrero and Bundu fight a nobody like Spence? People Need to get real.
Thurman is fighting Collazo next, a real force in his Division. Why would he be interested in fighting Spence who brings nothing to the table?

Rattle some cages Thurman, but I think Mayweather already got his mind made up. Your fighting Spence or else.

If I were Thurman. I would take the offer as long as the money is good (which I'm guessing it would being on Floyds undercard). Whip his ass quickly, and then call out Floyd again.

Either ways that's the best way to increase his familiarity with boxing fans whether he gets a Floyd fight or not.

I actually think Thurman should take the Spence fight now. Spence is only going to get better and could end up as the no.1 welterweight once Floyd is gone.

Thurman would be on a cusp of stardom if he signed with Top Rank. Instead hes fighting Collazo

[Eastcoast]

I doubt Haymon would let Spence/Thurman fight one another right now. That's a major fight in a couple of years, but right now it's not even as big as Porter/Broner.

Let Spence get in some headline fights. He should've been co-main to May/Pac. I want to see him fight Khan and spark Khan out. That would give him a splash.

After Collazo, if Thurman's starting to look like his old-self before the shoulder surgery, give him a big step-up like Porter or Maidana (though I'm afraid MM might be shot).

This has to be the dumbest thing ive read all year. Expecting Thurman to fight a 154 lber.

Mayweather is f....ing clown. Spence fought a bum who only had a weeks notice to prepare; and you want to get him next to a guy like Thurman?

Thurman has lit up 147, he is being ducked by Mayweather and all of the other big names at 147. Haymon is mismanaging Keith Thurman. Haymon is head clown in the Mayweather circus.

He's a big welterweight that has fought their before...

Just Floyd's Wsy Of Saying He Wants No Part Of Thurman

It's not about Spence, and Spence has a lot to prove with others in the Top Ten, this is Floyd playing head games he doesn't want to risk things fighting Thurman.

Spence would get destroyed. He just isn't ready.

This fight would be great in the future though, end of 2016 I say.
