Comments Thread For: Spence: I Can't Force Thurman To Fight, He's No Mayweather!

[H.B.Viper]

You nailed it.

This is true. Porter said, yeah eventually their paths might cross, but I'm going a different direction right now. He wants a fight against pretty much anyone except Spence. I was surprised, as I thought Porter would fight anyone. Garcia is another one that didn't want Spence.

In the meantime, Spence has to focus on Peterson, who pushes everyone and is a good boxer with solid skills. I had Peterson winning against Garcia but it was a close fight.

Why does he have Thurman on the brain when the shifty, and well schooled Lamont Peterson is on deck.
Degale, and Siri did that recently. fighters look ahead, and get caught out there instead of handling the fighter that is in front of you?
Real talk, Spense will struggle against LP. It might be controversial .This is not a layup. And if you think so, then you are a major troll.

It seems obvious Thurman is only going to fight twice, a tuneup and Porter to end the year. Would Thruman fight Porter and then Spence back to back? I honestly don't know but I hope he does.

Porter and Berto are friends. Didn't stop them.

Just like it wouldn’t stop Spence/Porter in the future. But for now it would not happen.

I think that too, Peterson might show some kinks in Spence's armour which is exactly what Thurman wants to see right now.

Arum will never feed Pacquiao to Spence. Pacquiao will fight Top rank fighters.

Top rank fighters aka cherries.

I agree but Thurman is coming off a layoff n injury. No problem getting easy fight first but the way he talks about Spence it's hard to not think he unsure of winning.

But let's see Thurman return first. Maybe he just showing Spence respect and want to be 100%

Its a bit weird, but I am starting to find Thurman a bit dull...

This poster doesn't even get it. He further reduced the list of options down to almost zero for Spence. Which means there'll be no one for Spence after the Peterson fight, except second-tier PBC fighters like Collazo, Berto, etc.

See, if I was promoting Spence, I'd tell him to do this to Thurman.
