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

[GFunk23]

I have no problem with Keith maximizing Revenue for a future fight with Spence and hyping it up but he is not doing that. He seems genuinely disinterested and not confident. We have no idea how Spence can handle Keith’s movement and power but mentally it seems that Keith believes he will lose. If Keith said something like “Spence isn’t ready for me, who has he fought other than leftovers. I’ll destroy this guy. I have a comeback fight and a mandatory or two to take care of first and then I’ll beat his a$$....”. - then fine, but he is coming across weak and everyone can see it.

its okay for tank to duck lomachenko cause 'he not ready' but thurmans not allowed to delay the spence fight cause hes not ready?

Tank is a 23 yr. old, who just lost his title at the scales! It's a wonder why Lomachenko even wants to fight him? Thurman is the WBC/WBA WW Champion of the world, being called out by the IBF WW Champion of the world! EVERYONE is cool w/ the tune-up, but NO ONE wants to see neither (Porter nor Garcia) rematch!

keith 'time's up' thurman

times up bruh
no need to see you and porter and garcia again


if your injury prohibits you from fighting serious fighters - then the governing body should take the belt away and hold a tournament for it. 1-6 months is the limit - more than that is ridiculous and isnt sport and fair competition - it means you are sitting on a belt and arent truly defending anything and preventing able fighters from rightfully competing for the belt - if you are injured no problem - fight spence when YOU are better next year and you can try to win it back from whoever is the victor of a tournament. in the meantime let the best fight the best for the titles

Thurman is whack!! One of the reasons I liked watching him fight was because he was hungry in the beginning. Now he's embarrassing himself big time. When you build your reputation on calling out fighters and saying you ain't afraid to lose your undefeated record you can't start back tracking when a legit threat pops up. That's why it's better to be Humble and Sit Down - Kendrick Lamar lol

So long as both Thurman and Spence remain champions by 2019, I think they make the fight for next year. Don't see a problem with that.

What do you think of Porter saying he's willing to fight Danny Garcia while waiting for Thurman, but he won't face Spence Jr.?

January 24, 2018:

“You know, it’s a funny business right now with Keith Thurman fighting Jessie Vargas,” Porter aid. “Nothing against Jessie at all. That’s my boy. But I’m in line to fight Keith Thurman. This is Keith Thurman’s doing. Like I said, the best thing I can do is stay ready. If they say, ‘Hey, we want you to fight Danny Garcia,’ I welcome that fight.

“Why? Because I was trying to get that fight two years ago, before I fought Keith Thurman. Three years ago now, before I fought Keith Thurman. So that’s still a fight I welcome. Outside of that, it’s Keith Thurman. I’ve been fighting to get that rematch for a long time.”

Ok guys, I've decided. For Thurman's b-day I'm getting him pink panties.
I'm sure he would have looked great with sky blue panties, but I think the color pink suits him best.

In typical fashion, of course since we all want to see this fight it won't happen this year.

I like thurman still, but damn, I might have to replace dude in my signature with Crawford or Spence lo

[AL_Camino]

Im still a Thurman fan, but damn, I might have to replace the sig pic with Crawford or Spence lol. I even held back from buying his newest shirt, because it says KOs for Life on it, but where are the Kos? I couldn't buy it lol.
