    Comments Thread For: Thurman Stays Patient: Big Fights Need Time To Blow Up

    If Keith Thurman could’ve chosen his next opponent, it wouldn’t have been Luis Collazo.

    Politically correct answers aside, Thurman wants bigger, more meaningful fights. But the 26-year-old Thurman also understands that he’ll have to continue to remain patient in his pursuit of huge paydays and higher-profile fights.

    “A lot of people, they’re just impatient in this sport,” Thurman while discussing his July 11 fight against Collazo in Tampa, Fla. “They want to talk a little bit now, but they want to talk about more later. It takes time for big fights to blow up. It happens. Me and my team, we take one fight at a time. We’re looking forward to July 11th. We trained for July 11th. We’re not training for anything else. I’m happy to be performing in my hometown, defending my title in my hometown and putting on a show. It’s going to be an exciting event.”

    Finally!! He gets it. Kieth knows a guy can't beg his way into a big fight. Collazo is NOT going to do it either. Patience is one thing, wasting time is another. I know, stay busy.....yawn.

      Try telling Khan that, I suprised I haven't seen a post today about him being the biggest challenge for Mayweather yet because of his speed and glass jaw. It's still early though.

            I hope fans learn to understand things like this as Thurman has done over the years.

              As of now, I have Brook in the drivers seat. He beat Porter for a peice of champion title. He had an easy fight recently, but that's off an injury and lay off, not such a waste. Thurman beat Guerrero, but who thinks Guerrero is as good or big as Porter? Bringing up the rear, a distant third is what's his name.

                I hate that it takes so long to build a fighter up just so that the casual boxing fan will gain interest ... It should be make them or break them fights

                    robert scared the **** out of thurman lol, he cant believe guerrero took his shot and bucked em down in the championship rounds lol Thurman literally went from calling everyone out Mr "all about knockouts" to I gotta be patient and I dont need a knockout lmfao.

                    SHOOK he thought all figths were gonna be easy D level figths lol till he ran into guerrero who a B- fighter lol now got thurman rethinking himself and his career.
