Comments Thread For: Thurman: Only Gave Me One Name, Not What I Wanted

[Porter's Dad]

Exactly what the hell do people want Thurman to do? Keith has basically been begging for a big fight for about 2 years and Haymon, with that big roster at WW, can't deliver. Guerrero was a good step but aside from that, he is being given these pitiful fights. Haymon is careering his career path, which seems to be stuck in some sort of weird statis for god knows whatever reason.

Thurman is too loyal to Haymon to see it, but if he was with Top Rank and being showcased on HBO, he would be in a much better position career wise.

I swear these *****s are a different breed. Forever living up to the '*****' brand. I know all fighters have their share of spastic fans, but my god these boys are on another level. Any fighter or person who doesn't suck Floyd's ball sack instantly becomes a target for them.

nobody is askin him to suck floyd off..they are tellin him to fight better comp..and dont think that the ghost is a ticket to floyd when u have other ppl that can give him 1 million plus buys and they are not just "up and comers" at this point...bradley, pac2, marquez, cotto, ggg, canelo...all these guys sell better and besides GGG all of them have a better resumes and will be more meaningful wins....thruman can be the man to day and **** tomorrow for all we kno..i'm 100% sure he cant outbox or pressure floyd...he ran from bundu all night and bundu has fought at 140...no insided toe to toe fight like floyd has done with a legend in cotto..just ran all night! I LIKE THURMAN and think he can get better, but i dont want to see him get schooled and paid..bc after that he takes a 2 year vacation just like the rest of them

So Thurman can fight Collazo but he can't fight Spence.

Exactly. He wants no parts of Spence right now.

Thurman has never been knocked out in the amateurs, I've had this confirmed by Chris Getty. So again, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Are you going to name me these guys who KO'd and outboxed him, can you back up your argument? Of course you can't.

Being an Olympic alternate isn't something to be ashamed of. Some ATGs were Olympic alternates including guys like Holyfield, Tyson etc. He missed out on the Olympics because he lost to Andrade, who is a great talent.

I didn't say Thurman hasn't got flaws and I don't think he would do too well against Floyd.

Are you Floyd's personal advocate by any chance?

chris getty lol? child please all that mess is whipped out when u make it big..they dont want fans to bring up your BS...bute tried to have his ko tapes pulled and couldnt..wilder as well..khan as well form the ams...most of haymon fighters succeed at doing it tho..believe me when i tell u the kid has been stopped and dropped as well

I know he wasn't lying because he told me some other things which I won't mention, he was very open and straight forward. I know I'll take his word for it over some mongrel on the internet who hasn't backed up a single one of his claims.

Are you going to name these guys who stopped him and outboxed or were you talking out of your bum?

[tiliheels]

AB moved up in weight..cw or not ..he moved up...why not ole keith??

I've already said what's necessary and backed it up. You haven't and you're talking utter garbage and fabricating stuff. Pathetic.

You have no problem with that fight, but Thurman does.

He's "the most avoided man at welterweight" but won't fight Spence. How does that work?
