Comments Thread For: Thurman Might Make Mandatory Defense Against Avanesyan Next

[Motorcity Cobra]

Agree. This is a problem for many PBC fighters. They have a good W & then they do f#ck all for their next fight or two or they don't fight for 6-9 months & the momentum they had is lost. Big fight, easy fight, big fight, easy fight can make some sense for the fighter, but it don't make sense for building a fighter into a bigger name known by the mainstream sportfans. You gotta be more active &/or fight more big names.

EVERYBODY IN BOXING DOES THIS!!

GGG
Ward
Zurdo
BJS
Luis Ortiz
Kovalev
Lomachenko
Lemieux
Roman Gonzalez
Brook
Canelo

The only fighters consistently fighting tough competition are gatekeepers

Vacate the title on to bigger fights wbc belt should be the focus doubt danny takes on Thurman this year. Thurman gotta get another one in this year a lot of people taking about the porter fight building. Good buzz around boxing again!!!!!

[Can'tHoldMeBack]

In fairness to GGG all the tough defenses don't want the fight cuz "GGG scary" & scary guys = 2x-5x your normal payday or nah gotta marinate the fight til GGG is 37 years old.

His team built him as being this boogeyman so top guys wants to be compensated fairly and not paid like the cans he been knocking out

Thats probably why less people are watching boxing then ever.

And like I said fair enough if you wanna do the big fight, lil fight system, but at least fight more than twice a year. Its no surprise there is really no one leading the race in being the next Manny, Oscar or Floyd.

Don't vacate your best bargaining chip when it comes to getting Garcia and brooks/Vargas winner in ring for unifications

Respect to K2. They did a great job cuz they got an impressive list of guys who don't wanna fight him. Only guys who wanna fight him seem to be out of his division, which is always a testament to someone being highly skilled, although lesser minds use it as some sort of criticism.

[BoxingFan85]

nobody is allowed to make mandatory defenses against weak competition except ggg!!!!

Let's face it, most governing body mandated guys are.. Take Mr.Mandatory (Kell Brook) for example.. IBF mandated guys are way poorer than others..

You get him out the way while Danny fight Berto or whoever he has to fight, they take care of business and unify I honestly don't see the problem but then again Fight Fans have never been patient.

But suggesting Thurman to Drop that belt is ***ing ****** that is why it is so many champions now. You have to be a fighting champion if you want to Unify and yes because these Rankings for some reason love to rank guys from all over the world who don't fight anybody so highly then yes we get stuck with **** Mandatory match ups. Don't blame the fighters blame the Belt Organizations if anything! Stop ***ing rating guys who don't fight anybody so highly

[Cinci Champ]

might as well get it out of the way honestly kid earned his shot at thurman

[BrometheusBob.]

Let's hope Brook is as eager to take on Spence
