Spence has Thurman shook!!

[Sweet Pea 50]

me and golovkin are cool. We can have "intelligent" conversations

I remember talking to him on some of those talk shoe joints.

Pretty funny guy.

He wasn't as trollish as he is on here.

Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice and hope you don't crap out. Beat Spence now and get it out of the way while he's young. That way there he wouldn't have to rematch him for 5 or so years (assuming spence improves and keeps winning)
Thurman could reighn supreme for that time.


Again, the likes of bundu and collazo do nothing for Thurman at this point either. The fact that it's for a belt. Well, that would raise thurmans stock. Wouldn't it?

I get ya, somewhat like how Floyd disposed of Canelo while he was still young and inexperienced yet his name might hold more weight in his resume in the future as Canelos career develops.

I completely agree with that bro, Collazo is no step up from Guerrero. In fact, its a step down. I do get you there. However, Collazo beat Ortiz miraculously, and has been in the ring with Khan as well. Its a name thats somehow inside the circle if you know what I mean, and sadly that's what fighters look for when they are doing tuneups. Khan-Algieri is a good example... he is linked to Pacquiao even though he lost, which made him attractive to Khan using him as a measuring stick in comparisoj but that didnt pan out too well.

It would, and it would definitely get the attention of Mayweather. However, there's a feeling that Floyd has one fight left and if he does decide to come back, itll be a year or two from now, so its a risk / game Thurman doesn't want to play. The title does make it attractive if true.

seriously???


Your right, boxing has a structured and rigorous path to get to the top. One in which nobody can "leapfrog" and absolutely no cutsies!

Many fighters have fought for championships at 16-0 and below.

Exceptions shouldn't be made the rule.

Vargas fought Winky, Quartey and Trinidad in a span of like 1 year at 17-19 fights but that wasn't exactly good for his longevity. Not every fighter is the same. Lomachenko fought 400 amateur fights, and like 8 semi-pro fights so it was okay for him experience wise to go after the top guys right away. That's not always the case. There's other things to consider like popularity, fanbase, style. These guys like DLH, Vargas, Canelo had the luxury of starting off in a big boxing country, have a strong fanbase, great style, charisma, and everything there for them to catapult them to world title fights immediately. Spence doesn't have these other variables going for him. Although Mayweather keeping him in his mouth is good for his publicity but that's all just talk, he has to show it in the ring as well as ratings, why he should fight the top guys now at 17-0 rather than at 25-0 like the majority of American boxers do.

Mayweather probably wasn't even serious. When people use to ask him about fighting Khan (when Khan was actually looking good) he'd say Khan should fight Jessie Vargas who he was promoting at the time.

He's trying to get Spence's name out there.

Of course it happens boxing is very corrupt. If your promoter has the money he can get you shortcuts and leapfrog you over other fighters. That doesn't make it right however!

I just don't see Haymon matching them up regardless of what either fighter is saying and regardless of what Mayweather is saying. But I guess we will have to wait and see!

[The Problem Child]

I pissed on his strawberries when I exposed him as a Star Wars nerd and he's been a lot more docile since.

Shut the **** up you imbecile. *takes out limited edition Master Replica FX Darth Maul saber and beats the hell out of you with it* Funny thing is, I can actually beat someone up with a lightsaber alone, no joke. It has to be the plastic saber though, the FX would shatter on your face.

People can try to instigate this one all they want but this fight is not happening anytime soon because it just doesn't make sense to do it right now. Thurman haven't even reached the top yet how does him fighting a prospect even make sense when he himself is trying to get to the top of the Welterweight Division

I want Thurman vs Brook, Khan or Porter next!

I agree. I think the Errol Spence hype train is going too far. I think the kid has the goods to be a dominant world champion but lets take it slow.

Thurman should be matched up with Brook, Khan or Swift Garcia.

Spence should be facing the Bertos and even Porters of the world, at this point. Even Porter shouldn't be next. Spence vs. Judah/Berto feels right.

Nah, Im cool/chill/respectful. I use this forum to distract myself with my alter ego lol. I have two sides to me, the rational/respectful/dark humor/funny chill one which I use everyday and the hater/violent/dark side/assassin which is on my mind trapped and is released on this forum lol.

Thing is though, in this forum, well thought out and articulate posts get overlooked. I remember putting together posts that would make way for good debates but they got no attention, yet when I posted something emotional and with shock factor, it gets a lot of attention. So it is better to post opinions in a shocking manner (which is fun so its a win win for me), I get my opinion across and it is definitely looked at. I only bother with posters like Mega or whenever I see someone make a good case.

Example:

Floyd is a decent fighter but in my honest opinion, he never fought the top names in his resume during their primes.

^ 1 reply

Floyd is a little bish ass coward who has ducked all the top names in his prime. Id **** him up myself if I came across him.

^ Hundreds of replies, green k, red k, gray k, ***** gifts, cool gifts lol

[FeFist]

He definitely sees the fight as high risk low reward. His resume is filled with crap to mediocre opponents; fighting Spence shouldn't be a problem, even if he turned out to be a hype job.

[MarsinLeo]

Boxing don't work like that bro, it is no shortcuts in boxing. You don't leapfrog over people because you beat some dude ass on national TV who took the fight on very short notice.

Spence Jr as you can see I'm a fan...but he has to work his way up and pay his dues like EVERYBODY ELSE! Here is what he can do, fight some of Thurman Leftovers! Fight Bundu that would be a great step up for him.

Spence Jr actually should be the one fighting Berto not Mayweather! Mayweather should be fighting Thurman, that man that has been his WBA Mandatory for what 2 Years Now

Spence is not even a Top 20 Welterweight yet! Mayweather was just being a promoter and promoting Spence Jr but Mayweather don't get to say who fights for his belts to be honest. Am I missing something? When did the WBC, WBA and WBO turn into the MBC, MBA and MBO

Spence Jr has to work his way up like EVERYBODY ELSE! They can meet AT THE TOP! Instead of meeting at the middle!

Damn.. another good post. I don't think Mayweather wants to test himself that much for #49. He does deserve a soft touch though for #49.

Beating Pacquiao, Maidana and Canelo is no easy task. He pretty much accomplished this in damn near a 12 month duration.

I think the most logical fight is Thurman vs. Khan.
