That's the advantage of having a lot of fighters signed to the same management. think phase one of pbc Is complete the next step will be establishing their top stars as ppv draws

No, not one management, the RIGHT managements....& Mr. Haymon is the right man. God bless him.

This will end up as far as publicity and journalism writing just as Alvarez and GGG... it will go on for 2 years finally when it happens Spence beats Thurman UD12...

I still cannot believe all 4 guys, Thurman, Garcia, Spence, and Brook have engaged in high profile fights and Pac who has the power to do anything, make any fight, is fighting a damn school teacher! Enough of the charades, he needs to sht or get off the pot.

First Thurman kept saying Spence ain't fought no one, he hasn't fought anybody. (Even though at that time, neither had Thurman).

Then he wants to wait and wait to build it up.

Then he waited three months after his last fight-and just one week before Spence's fight- to have a surgery he knew he needed and knew would keep him out a while.

Thurman is scared to death. Listen to him whenever anyone mentions Spence; he freaks out.

Haters are gonna hate. What all the haters conveniently leave out is that Brook couldn't keep boxing like he did the first few rounds, because those body shots take a lot out of you. Same thing happened to Kov against Ward. And the haters are like, "well Kov was winning, and he coasted at the end, Ward can't do it again." And "Oh, Brook was doing good for the first four or five rounds, so Thurman or whoever will do it the whole fight."

Spence is like an old school fighter. He takes his time and he works the body. He ko's people from an accumulation of power shots. He wears them down and then as soon as they start to lose heart, he pounces in for the kill. Thurman is a hell of a good boxer, but he ain't no Mayweather, and he isn't good enough to beat Spence. He knows it too. That's why he has already had three different excuses to avoid him.

You sir are 100% correct

To all you Thurman fans I honestly believe Thurman doesn't have the "onetime" power he claims he does.think about this he hasn't had a real ko since Soto karass in 2013 and since his competition has risen he doesn't even get knockdowns anymore, if he was a puncher wouldn't he at least be able to knock down a guy coming up from 140 in Danny Garcia,Danny said himself Keith didn't hurt him,Now Spence just showed the world he can take a punch, once Thurman feels Spence effective aggression he will be on the run and settle for a unanimous decision loss just so he won't get knocked out

Thats the fight to be made but we wont see it til next year at least.

Next highest rated contender in the IBF is Carlos Ocampo 21-0 that could be in Dallas easy fight for Spence against a Mexican opponent. Dusty Harrison is rated in the top 15 that would be an easy fight for Spence too. He needs to fight a good opponent who is going to run from him to get him ready for Thurman.

[BroDimaggio]

Sadaam Ali would be a good opponent to prepare him for Thurman.

[PunchyPotorff]

Let Thurman recup from his surgery, and have a tuneup before this fight. If that happens, and he enters the ring the full measure version of himself, he should be able to handle Spence. Won't be easy, but if his work ethic is on the money, he can do it.

Why would Thurman fight you now and not his mandatory? Did you fight Brook when it mattered like when you beat Algieri and Brook beat Bizier, which were only a few weeks apart? You insisted on fighting Bundu and backtracked on calling out Brook.
