Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Explains Why He's Not Afraid To Let That '0' Go

[j0zef]

It's an amazing attitude in today's world. He's so spot on. He's a great fighter. He's been a great fighter for a long time. If another man beats him, shake their hand and say congratulations. It's that easy.

Mad respect for Thurman as well as Garcia...two peak prime guys fighting each other....

Cool guy, definitely not dumb, fun to watch. Hope he whoops Garcia's ass and I think he will.

Great attitude.

There are others with very similar attitude - humble dedicated to the sport and seeing it as a sport e.g. GGG, Joshua...and I'm sure a lot of others you can think of.

Wish he would've fought Spence.

War Keith. So pumped for this fight.

Now this is the kind of talk I respect. Fighters going out there and fighting those you should.

I like Keith, man. I'll be supporting him against Garcia and think he'll take a clear UD.

I can't wait until these some of these big egos take a loss. It's so annoying listening to them talk like "Ain't nobody beat me!"
Both Thurman and Garcia need to take a loss. I'd say GGG too, but he's not as arrogant. Ward, but he's kind of mellow also.
If they weren't so arrogant about it, it probably wouldn't be so annoying.

I think you're on your own here with thinking Thurman came off as arrogant.

He just believes in his ability, nothing wrong with that. He's also saying that he doesn't want to protect his 0, which should be the mentality of all fighters.

Boxing is only as good as the fights that are made. And this is a great fight.

[Sid-Knee]

So what exactly does it mean when you say you're not afraid to let the zero go?

It means he's not willing to be protected from the big dogs around. He wants to fight the best. And if that means he loses his 0, then so be it.
