Comments Thread For: Spence: Thurman Has Been Making Excuses; I'm Waiting On Him

[djtmal]

all these boys need to be thrown in a round robin and getting it on with each other to see who the real champ is...

Thurman says he will need a tune-up when he returns, and Spence Jr. is fighting Lamont Peterson. Truthfully speaking, I want to see Spence Jr. vs. Crawford more than Spence Jr. vs. Thurman! I say Spence Jr. vs. Crawford is a better fight!

crawford vs spence is never going to happen.

Everyone is riding Spence nuts. When he gets beat you will all say he was over hyped one demesional blah blah. I for one think he is over hyped and will lose. I've watched him in the amateurs and anyone that can box and move and clinch will beat him.

This fight would happen so am not fuss. probably end of 2018 or early 2019.

It is but the Thurman fight is bigger. If he wins that it immediately makes the Crawford fight bigger especially if he can pick up the wbo strap in the meantime. I get the feeling Thurman is waiting for Crawford and spence to take eachother out

I'm thinking the same thing! Thurman wants the winner, but I think either one can beat him!

I don't know. Arum (and ESPN) has to know that is BIG fight! Even Crawford vs. Mikey Garcia would be a BIG one too!

thurman vs spence will happen before crawford gets a crack at either of them.

I hope it happens after Spence vs Peterson. I hope Thurman doesn't start saying that Spence has to prove himself or wait in line.

What line? There is no line for Thurman any more. he fought Porter, Garcia. Brook is not relevant at this point, there is nobody left but Spence.

These guys were pictured looking all buddy buddy at the Barclays centre on Sat along with Broner and Wilder. Still a fight that needs to happen next year.

Dont be waiting. Stay active! This guy should be fighting 3x a yr at this point of career smh. By the time peterson fight happens thats a whole lotta layoff for both

Top fighters rarely fight 3x a year anymore. Only prospects or fighters that make less than 100k fight more than twice a year. If a top fighters fights 3x a year it's because he ended up fighting a mismatch. Big fights take time to make. Plus this isn't like any other top US sport where its seasonal and players get months off. So it's understandable when fighters like to take some time off after a fight to go on vacation or are doing something else.
