Comments Thread For: Team Porter To Keith Thurman: We'll Be Waiting Motherf***er!

[Dr.Cool]

You can kind of question KT's 'cahones' if you will.........But to question TBC's cahones? TBC was calling out KT before he had officially moved up to 147 and even before he had become the undisputed champion at 140. So to question TBC at all is just absurd. The man has made it clear he wants to fight the best now let's see what path is taken.

Bud ain't be calling anyone out besides a freakin school teacher. Actions speak louder than words, and Crawford signed with someone he already knew would never allow him to fight Thurman, Spence, DSG, Mikey Garcia, Porter, Vargas, and anyone and everyone else that is better than the Hornet. He is like Bradley was for his entire career, yea, I would like to fight the best he says when asked, but he never really calls anyone out and never tries to make any fights. He lets Arum put him in with some TR stooge. With as good as Crawford is and how horrible everyone he is allowed to fight is, he should stay undefeated for another 10 years easy. He is a heck of a fighter, but targeting a school teacher? Really? One call and he could fight Spence. I guarantee it. Instead he is waiting around on an Australian gym teacher. Literally. The most stacked division there is and he only wants the Hornet. Get outta here, that is ridiculous. That is not wanting the best. That is wanting an easy title, an easy fight. That the Hornet even has a title is a disgrace for boxing. At least Crawford will fix that wrong, but I still don't see him fighting anyone better than Horn in the next two or three years.

Why don't Porter fight Vargas the winner gets Thurman

[Drew Bundini Br]

PORTER VS PACQUIA would be better. PORTER already loss to THURMAN so he should stop talking sh%t.

I want to watch Thurman vs Spence not Porter , Porter just can't win the big fight

[FLY TY]

Thurman himself has said he wouldn't accept either of those fights before Porter. It's going to be whoever he faces in April (I'm still skeptical it will be Vargas) and then Porter. Keith won't face Spence until 2019 sadly.

Agree with everything, especially the bold. I'm still skeptical about him facing Vargas coming off the injury and layoff also. Thurman is favored, but it's not the "tune-up" he said he was looking for. Maybe he takes that fight and then Porter, to save face because he's catching so much flack for avoiding Spence?

You must not have seen the IBF 147lb rankings........First of all, Porter is nowhere to be found in the top 15! Secondly, I think the only other recognisable name is Luis Collazo........LOL.

If I'm correct, there is no mandatory for the IBF, which means Spence can make voluntary defenses. If Porter wanted a title fight, he could get one....sadly, he just wants no part of Spence, and his reasoning is ******. He says he already held the IBF title, and has no interest in fighting for it. Truth is, he knows it's the tougher title to win, because of who holds it.

Realistically this happens 2019. Thurman has a tune up fight march/April to test his hand after major operation which is understandable, then his got his WBA mandatory probably Porter in summer, then his mandatory WBC end of year then only then can he consider Spence probably either March/April next year or summer 2019. People forget his got to face his mandatory and if you have 2 belts they normally 2 different opponents. That's the problem when you have multiple sanctioning bodies all with there own champions.

Thurman already whooped ur ass, now it's time to fight Spence or Crawford and let them whoop ur ass...

[DJrabit]

This Haymon fighters keep saying they can’t fight each other . They were unable to come to agreement. How does this constantly happen they have the same promoter in Haymon. Then if it’s Top Rank or Golden Boy they say they can’t fight cuz of promoter politics. Then they end up fighting washed up fighters like Guerrero, Rios, Vargas or fighters ranked 125 Salka.

[Scipio2009]

No, i'm asking, what if Porter has the opportunity to face Spence Jr., or Crawford? What if Thurman faces the winner of Matthysse vs. Kiram (WBA eliminator) next, instead of Porter?

First of all, Shawn Porter and his dad don't want none of Erroll Spence Jr and Bob Arum doesn't want any of putting Porter in with Crawford on ESPN, unless Porter wants to take the fight for free (Crawford isn't a destructive puncher, Crawford is coming up in weight, and Porter's "don't give a ****" style would make for a real tough fight for Crawford).

Secondly, the WBC, WBA, and IBF openly coordinate their Manda defenses, with the WBC having the next defense at 147lbs; the WBA will wait until after the WBC to call the mandatory.

You're delusional at best.........

Nothing in your post is based on a shred of factual evidence while there are numerous videos on YT where TBC has been calling out KT and the whole 147lb division. No, he can't just call Spence and fight Spence as he (TBC) is not ranked in the IBF at all! Secondly, him getting big names at 147lbs is a lot easier if comes with a strap. Lose the emotions and the ego and let's talk actual, factual boxing.
