Comments Thread For: Spence on Thurman: Why Not Try To Get My Belt? Why Not Unify?

[_original_]

Spence needs to continue to pressure Thurman into a fight.
Maybe call him out after the Peterson fight. Then go on ESPN and tell America that Thurman don’t want it.

He already did lol he was on that Kellerman ESPN show calling him out again.

Oh okay well go on fox sports 1 and mention it to Skip Baylee’s now

Why is Spence calling out an injured fighter?

We haven't even really heard about Keith's next move, his comeback date keeps getting pushed back as it is.

Keith is going to fight Spence when he's healthy, give the guy a minute to come back from surgery. Keith has already gone on record saying that the Spence fight is going to be 2019 as long as they both keep winning. What more can you ask for?

Thurman needs to see how his elbow holds up under the pressure of the "lights camera action" in a test out phase with lesser comp. He'll ramp up the bravado towards Spence once he feels his groove is back. Those rangy heavy blows from Spence aint nothin' to mess with when u don't feel 100. No sense in saying, "I'm not scared, I jus gotta test my elbow 1st and make sure I'm ready".....sounds like an excuse.....we can't have those(lol).

Thurman is going to have to answer soon cus Spense has been straight up punking him out for months now

I think it's premature to say Thurman is ducking spence when he's out with injury.
Thurman comes across as a fan of the sport and a student of the game, I'm sure he'll want to cement his legacy.
I think he has another gear we haven't seen yet and is able to carry the belt and win fights fighting slightly within himself. I favour him to beat spence, just, in a pick em fight.

Thurman is clearly stalling. It doesn't take a damn year and change to recover from bone spurs.

I personally get the sense that he just doesn't want that fight. Not until he either sees some signs of Spence slipping, or for Spence to outgrow 147 pounds.

Even though Donald Trump is the man he never recovered from bone spurs got out of Vietnam cause of them

Why not fight?

I think I can answer that.

Can't fight because ummm, Spence can't draw. Good guy but cant sell seats The real question should be why should Keith fight a guy that doesn't bring an extra dime to the table ? And beating Algerri and Peterson is not much of a reason.
