Comments Thread For: The Road to Keith Thurman-Errol Spence Begins (! Or ?)

[Cigar]

Keith Thurman is a part time fighter who, at best, is very good. Not great. We've seen his ceiling. Spence and Crawford are the future of the division.

Mother fookers acting like spence is sure shot to beat thurman. Spence beat algieri and had a close fight with a broken brook before brook broke again. Thurmans beaten the top ww's. Thats a good solid fight for both guys and thurman will be the odds on favorite to win.

He's beaten Porter & Garcia. They're not better wins than Brook.

Which is why I said unfortunately we will be lucky if we got 1 of these fights. Gotta read the full post if you are gonna post back there buddy. Fights that should be made but will not. Politics, price tags and certain guys not simply not wanting to take these type of fights.

Which of your points did I not address buddy? What part of your post did I miss buddy?

Has nothing to do with luck. You listed a bunch of fights that Arum would never allow.

Thurman ain’t running scared from Spence! Dude had surgery, let him get in the ring with somebody before Spence to make sure he is 100 %. Everybody keeps talking about EJ wiping the canvas with Thurman, I believe a lot of people are going to be in for a shock. Spence-Thurman is destiny. Spence better watch out for Lamont first. Not saying LP beats him, but I believe he will expose some flaws in Spence that haven’t been previously seen.

I see Thurman/Spence in the first half of 2019, which is fine by me. Thurman likely has Jessie Vargas next, which is not a walk in the park. He may have to rematch either Garcia or Porter later this year, which is another tough fight.

Spence has Peterson, but who does he get afterwards? No way will Danny Garcia want any part of him. It won't be Crawford. Possibly Porter, Khan, or even Alexander who is on the comeback trail.

Either way Thurman and Spence are on a collision course so long as neither of them loses their "0" between now and early 2019.

Only 3 concerning Crawford. I simply said fights I WANT to see this year. Fully aware of how unlikely they are to take place not just on the Arum end either. Just saying maybe you should learn to read correctly.

We read everything correctly. You said "I Hope for at least 2 of these fights" and then listed a bunch of fights you know have 0% chance of happening.

So you're hoping for the impossible. Sounds frustrating.

LOL Only thing Brook ever did was beat Porter and he had to smother his way to a victory.

Errol Spence just needs to keep winning he'll eventually get his shot. Until he shows signs of weakness Thurman is not going to fight him, Porter says he'll fight Spence 'eventually' whenever that is he's focused on Thurman and so is Garcia. But these guys are fighters I believe in order for pbc to stay relevant they are going to have to make/force these fights to happen. Hopefully we'll get Crawford-Spence, Crawford doesn't seem to be shying away from Spence at all.
