[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Tampa, Florida - For Keith Thurman (26-0, 22 KO’s) his options are plentiful in a loaded welterweight division on the Premier Boxing Champions Series. After his victory over Luis Collazo, Thurman says he just wants the big names.

“I want Amir Khan, Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter,” Thurman told BoxingScene.com. “This is boxing I want to fight the same guys you want me to fight. Right now we would like Amir Khan. He has finally started mentioning Keith Thurman’s name. When I hear those syllables coming out a fighters mouth, that’s what I like.”

Thurman should be in with the best in the division-Floyd, Manny, Bradley-not an up and coming prospect like Errol Spence.

Well

Be careful what you wish for Keith, after your last performance.

say what u will but it seems strange how much he trying to avoid the spence fight

[John Locke]

Here's the video of that conference, he absolutely rips Spence

[frantic fighter]

How can a guy with a lisp make fun of someone stuttering?I also don't get why he doesn't want to fight Spence if he views him as being green,logically now would be the perfect time to capitalize on his inexperience.

Everyone is jumping on this spence bandwagon because of Floyd. Thurman was in Spence's position 2-3 years ago and has earned a shot against the likes of Khan, Brook, Maidana, Porter, etc. Felt like just yesterday when people wanted Keith to step up his comp and now everyone wants him to fight a prospect?

And he's right.

Avoiding a spence fight? Thurman is after the TOP welterweights. Spence isn't there yet.
