Comments Thread For: Thurman Not Expected to Fight Vargas in May 19 Return to Ring

[gauze]

i see that josesito lopez has a fight coming up on march 10 against a guy with a 25-19 record, in an 8-round bout. i could maybe see thurman fighting him. might be too risky though lol

[brettWall]

This Vargas/Thurman was discussed on soo many boxing shows and Articles you really think a Forum poster started this rumour smh
Jessie Vargas in an interview stated he would "Like" to fight Thurman next...thats how it all started
This fight was never official

Whoever started this ****** rumor should be slapped in the face hard.

Everyone knows Vargas is no tuneup for any PBC fighter. I doubt Broner would fight Jessie. Garcia would avoid him, so will Berto, Porter, Thurman, etc.

The rumor even had a date.

Somebody said Mayweather ducked Thurman LMAO

[dalvecc]

I pray that when Thurman rematches either Porter or Garcia that Thurman wins cause if he loses you can guarantee a 3rd fight would be next and it would give them a reason not to fight Spence

I don't think its his activity as much as his words & seemingly lack of desire to make THE FIGHT at 147 this year. Its January ffs & this half a **** looking mfer is talking about 2019 for what would be one of the biggest fights this year & potentially the best fight of the year.

This is standard marinating bs that I'm against whoever is pushing it its usually not the fighter pushing it so hard is maybe the one thing that stands out here. Usually the fighter is playing hot potato with the question to push it towards the promoter or the other fighter. This cat is just saying "yea that biggest fight to make at 147 right now...I don't want that fight". F#ck that bs.

Yeah, I feel you. But he's just being honest. He must first test out the elbow in a tuneup, than fight Porter or get stripped. There's no way around these two fights. That will book all of 2018 and will push the Spence fight to next year.

He's coming off surgery.

It's fine if he fights a tune up in his first fight back.

Exactly when DSG goes and fight Rios just because he coming off a lost, that he thought he won...But then again it's Cherry Garcia

[Bigg Rigg]

He's fighting the tough and gritty TBA

I feel you but Thurman v Spence is more like 70/30 in favor of Spence lol

"I" always try to look at the top fights as closer than they probably are. Wishful thinking on my part, hoping for a great fight but we all know (Thurman) included what those bodyshot are going to do.

Hopefully he proves us wrong and put up a fight.

This is actually the wise approach. I learned that with GGG v Canelo. Until they're in the ring, you never really know.
