    Are you a moron? He just fought Danny Garcia and Spence has a fight with Kell Brook coming up. Let Spence actually win first before all this ducking bull**** starts up.

      Keith is probably going to fight Perterson, that way we can get rid of the "regular" title. But then he may have to fight his other mandatory because remember he has two titles and Khan was the mandatory. I don't know if that now changes because he's fighting Pac. Maybe someone can school me on that. But I see Keith fighting both mandatories, which would be fine with me because the mandatories now seem to be good fighters. For some reason, Kell Brook had some very weak mandatories, but now they seem to be some true mandos. If Spence wins, which will be tough, he should try to reunify with the winner of Khan/Pac. That way there can be a reunification bout with Thurman and all titles would be on the line.

      Back to what I was asking about early, it seem like they are trying to make it where if you have two or more titles, they all would have the same mandatory, instead of one for each belt. Again, someone please school me on this.

        Lamont doesn't do that to power punchers... he didn't do it to Lucas and he sure aint gonna try it on thurman

          Gotto say he has never been enthusiastic about facing Brook in all of his previous interviews... and even less so about Spence

            Thurman does seem unsure of himself. When he talks about Brook he's respectful, which he doesn't do pretty much with anyone else. He knows how good Brook is and isn't sure if he can win the fight or not.

            Then we have Spence, a fight that Thurman also doesn't seem too keen on. His reasons in the past have been about him not doing enough to have earned a shot but, if he beats Brook, then he sure as hell has done enough to earn a fight with Thurman.

            But lets wait and see how it unfolds as there's still a lot of time before Brook/Spence get it on.

              Personally, I just need two things from Keith: more activity, and a dominant run fighting top shelf competition at WW.

              Taking on dudes like Bradley, Vargas (ugh), would like to see him take on Khan (for the lulz), etc. Dudes in the top 15 (from 15 up til 5). Just go on a stretch where he beats guys in and around the upper echelons, and then take on cats like Brook, Pac, and eventually, if he does go on to become one of the best, Spence.

              He's 28. Years 28-33 should be his peak, and he should use them productively to build his legacy. He can ****, and he can box, so he can have a decent run at the top of the sport.

                This is an immediate duck by Thurman. No it doesn't need to 'marinate'. Do it after Brook flattens Spence. Just DO IT!!! Or you'll forever be seen as the true ducker you are!

                  He just fought and won another belt! No need to talk sh*! in the ring after a fight!
                  Go home, celebrate, relax take some time off before yaking about this guy or that guy.
                  It's refreshing that I didn't have to hear a bunch of crap, just enjoy what just happened.

                  Then again theres lil Angel Garcia who knew his son was losing all through the fight but had to act like a fool once again.
                  Do you think ABC, NBC, FOX or any other network will put that guy on the air? He can't form three words together without cussing.
                  This guy is living his dream through his son. Damn shame, feel sorry for Danny.

                    Errol Spence will be 'the man' if he lives up to his potential.

                      Spence has been calling him out for awhile and Thurman has been constantly ducking him the whole time. Now he still is, by saying he's not yet interested in fighting the winner of Spence/Brook in his next fight. He was obviously more confident about beating Danny "Gift" Garcia than he is Spence.
