Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman: Two Fights - Then I'm Ready For Errol Spence!

[greeneye99]

Porter and Garcia are "tune-ups", he thinks very highly of Spence

Read the article properly
He never said those fights are tune ups
Those are fights before Spence

This reminds of a scene from the movie 'A Bronx Tale', Louie is two weeks late paying 'C' twenty bucks he owes ; Calogero wants to split his wig because he knows Louie is ducking him, the wise guys thinks he should -- the BOSS ( 'C's' advisor ) thinks otherwise.

I would have to agree with Sonny, Keith 'Runtime' Thurman is not worth the trouble, hes a bum. Lets focus on a 'Real' Champion maybe Crawford will step up, then Spence can leave the division ; nobody has to chase that chicken. As of this point I hold Jeff Horn with more regard than 'Sometime' Keith Thurman as he is stepping up not 'ONE' but 'TWO' Times.

How many Champions you know fight 3 times a year?.....
I'll wait.............

Saying that you will be ready and actually making the fight are two different things. He said in 2015 that he could see him fighting Spence in 2017. Here we are in 2018 and he isn't ready. I'm not watching any of this clown's fights until he is trying to do something other than less important rematches. Ridiculous for a unified titleholder in his prime to do all this nonsense, especially after all the crap he has talked in the past.

You actually think he's going to fight Spence in 2019?

HAAAAHAHAHAHA... WOW. What a coward man. **** Thurman. Started fighting like a bish running and now ducking. Phony.

"Marinate".

Come on guys. He's not ducking. The fight needs to marinate.

Let's hope Thurman doesn't fight the light-weight champion of the world at catchweight of 144lbs then come in over the contracted limit.

That would be really bad.

No way Porter and Garcia are tune up. I don't see Thurman fighting either one of them especially if his first fight is a difficult one.

jesus f#cking christ. i remember him getting into some kind of motorcycle accident, explaining some of the inactivity, but you gotta blame his management and handlers for a 29 year old in his prime fighting so infrequently.

two fights? a fighter is asking for two fights? i undersatnd that his management might say and think this behind closed doors, and they should. but the fighter?

"well no, i'm not ready for him right now, he'd beat me. i gotta make some money first."
fighters are saying these things! the fighters!

fighters used to train and fight. they thought htey could beat any fighter in the world if they fought tomorrow. being ready for that fight was their job.

The dude hasn't even returned from elbow surgery yet... wtf?

Sadly, Swift Garcia is not stepping up to fight Spence, Porter is not stepping up. Typical PBC fighters.

Easy to predict who Spence's next fight is just like the Peterson fight. It will be Collazo.

Funny how he held a stance on Errol not being ready for him and I think he also said Errol has to earn it...
So why in hell does Keith need to have two fights to be ready for Errol Spence?
Don't salute this type of shiet, I like Thurman, but I can't defend this.
