Comments Thread For: Thurman: I'm Not Fighting Spence in '18; This is a Get-Back Year

[FrankieClutch]

As long as it happens anywhere from the end of 2018-mid 2019, I'll be fine with that

thurman don't want it...no time thurman looking more a punk.

Not sure what all the casuals are crying about. Both fighters will still be in their prime in 2019. Thurman is not taking an easy path this year. He has Vargas ahead of him and then it's either Porter or Garcia. Spence should try and land a fight with either Porter or Garcia by end of 2018 as well. Or if Mikey Garcia really wants it, give him a shot.

A lot of posters criticizing Thurman has no problem with Mr. 50-0 marinating fights for years on end until they went beyond their expiration date. Now all the sudden they want "the best fighting the best" right away.

Spence is struggling to make weight, by 2019 he won't be fit for welterweight.

dont care for this fight cause thurman scared and will delay it as long as he possibly can.

im a fan of both fighters, but the wbc and wba have there own ranking systems, and keith has to meet those mandatory defenses. i dont even think spence is rank with those organizations. yes a unification is in order for sure. i want the fight to happen this year, but it is what it is..

alright thurman we will check back in 2019 when you fight someone relevant, have a good year!

[MisanthropicNY]

Thurman is a "Get-Back N***a"

[davef]

Thurman sounds likes hes been told by people higher up they want to save the main course till next year build it up more until theres enough demand and it sells its going to be their marquee fight of 2019 thurman vs spence

well hopefully now mofos can stfu about it. he said hes not interested move on.

to be fair when thurman was calling out malignaggi, maidana, khan and floyd none of them rushed to fight him or even acknowledged him. so yeah I get it.

and u never know real soon when spence is more established even he might start marinating and making business moves.

the only star that had the power to marinate or duck but never did was de la hoya.

let the marinating continue.

all these mofos talking about boycotting thurman are full of sht they'll all tune in even if he fights the mailman for a tune up. cut that boycott sht out.
