No he vacated. They wouldn't have stripped him; it was a threat. That org is constantly kissing his a*s lol

very true. It was an awesome display of power by the WBC! Lol! Good memories, good research

I also wonder if Spence is in a rush to fight Thurman bc he is out growing 147. He’s a big body at 47.

[thack]

spents is nothing more than a middleweight fighting at 147 he needs to move up and fight charlo or BJS

Just say no!....Who is this spents?

[Steven Mccowan]

Because he been hurt. Its getting old though and fans are turning on him more and more.

Thurman toast

Thurman's WAY over rated!! Spence will provide a beating on Thurman which will very easily end his career, and one time knows this. Why do you think he's 3 year stalling for Spence?? Thurman knows the TRUTH!!

I honestly don't get why people are being so hard at Thurman. He's fought twice in the last 3 years; one was Porter and the other was Danny. Was Spence more Deserving than those 2? You've got to fight your mandos and unify, which he's done. Now that Spence has EARNED the shot, he will get it. But you can't say Thurman has been ducking him because he's fought the elites recently

[Curtis2]

are you saying Porter & Garcia are considered elites?

Belts aren’t an excuse to fight inferior competition. Spence-Thurman is the fight at 47 right now. They’re clearly the top two fighters in the division. Whether it’s for no belts or 100 belts is irrelevant.

People are being hard on Thurman for fighting twice in three years, while in his prime.

And everyone can stop the injury/surgery bs. That is bs, because Thurman knew he needed it immediately after fighting Garcia and Thurman WAITED FOR MONTHS to get the surgery. Then he is crying that he had surgery.

Thurman has been ducking Spence for years. Mayweather wanted Thurman-Spence on one of his undercards years ago. Where a win, could have very easily let to a fight with Floyd. Thurman said Spence needed to beat some top guys. Then he KO'd the previously never KO'd Algieri, and then KO'd Bundu who went the distance against Thurman, and Thurman was still making excuses.

Spence has been calling out Thurman for years. Literally. Thurman always has some excuse. He can fight Vargas or whoever else he wants next, he can even fight Rod Salka, that does not matter. But to have a rematch with Porter before facing Spence is ducking, there is nothing else to call that. I mean dang, Mayweather and Ward even fought more then Thurman does. For a champion, who is undoubtedly in his prime, to only fight once every year or two is a disgrace.

Brook had to fight Spence or drop the belt, different situation here all together
