Comments Thread For: Crawford Believes He Will Eventually Fight Spence and Thurman

[Combat Talk Radio]

I actually doubt either fight happens, due to politics.

They'll happen. After they're done marinating

[SweetPbfAli]

The mentality of the fighters involved will be the reason why these fights happen. This is why I think Spence-Bud is more likely and I have more interest in it. Both are real dogs aiming for legacy. My two favorite fighters at the moment.

I agree with every single word.

Only one guy is coming back from injury and surgery. I mean, this thing took the guy out for a whole year and he's just now announcing a return in May. Why would he come back from an injury and try to jump in with the top guy?

Also, why would he drop a belt to face Spence?

He's said 2019 is the year, let's wait until 2019 before we pass judgement on a guy coming back from an injury. He's been VERY upfront about everything, said he wasn't ready for Spence, he'll be ready 2019.

If he doesn't fight Spence in 2019 and they're both still winning and uninjured we can start calling it a duck. Let's not forget, we heard this same bull**** about Thurman before Porter and Garcia.

Yea, we have heard this about Thurman before. Because he was hyped as the best ww not named Mayweather and the Floyd haters had latched onto him as the guy Floyd was allegedly ducking. He was supposed to fight the top wws five years ago. He refused to fight any top guy until Porter a year and a half ago. By the time Thurman finally gets back in the ring, he will have had two fights in almost three years. Thurman has been making excuses to avoid Spence for at least three years. Floyd wanted Spence-Thurman on his undercard years ago. So you are right, we have heard Thurman is ducking Spence before he fought Porter and Garcia. And the excuse is different, but Thurman is still making excuses to avoid Spence.

This has been going on for 3 or 4 years. And still, well poor Keith hurt his elbow. He said he would be out a whole six months. He will have been out of the ring for over a year. People have been demanding Thurman fight Spence for literally years. The patiently waiting to see if maybe Thurman will suddenly change and want to fight the killer is over. He won't. He gets scared, starts shaking and stuttering whenever he hears the name Errol Spence.

Thurman has already lost to Spence. He doesn't think he can win. If a fighter doesn't believe he can win, he isn't going to win.

Thurman definitely satisfied with all he's acheived and doesn't feel like he has anything else to prove, at this point he might as well just announce his retirement....taking the belt and fleeing is a bad look, "like you can't defend it..it looks bad", Ali on Frazier possibly retiring in 1972 on Giovanni show

[TexasCowBoy]

The way Crawford answers questions is just smooth..I am a Crawford fan because he doesn't hold hands and sing kumba ya with anybody, .........eg the pu$$¥cats from PBC....hopefully Crawford can fight PAC after Horn , I would buy that fight quickly.

[R_Walken]

I'm going to wait and see what Arum says / reacts because he'll be the one holding up the fight and Crawford probably isn't going to fight any of them in at least 2 years. Bud will be pencilled in to fight Horn , MAnny , Benividez and a couple other TR fighters before The PBC stable is even considered

Because if he Starts saying so and so priced themselves out, it has to be in a customized outdoor stadium, so and so doesn't want the fight then it's clear he's holding it up


It's not the fighters Bud, Spence & Thurman would all throw down if given he opportunity

[pasawayako]

Horn will kill them both. Horn is the future of boxing.

[pasawayako]

Horn will make crawfor run for his life in the fight.

Spence was a nobody 3 years ago. He's only just now made himself a somebody. ****, 3 years ago Spence was beating Lo Greco and Van Heerdan, he wasn't on Keith's level. He hadn't earned the right to make that fight. Mayweather just threw that **** out there so people could stop talking about Floyd vs Thurman.

Thurman isn't scared of Spence and doesn't think he'd lose, he just needs to finish rehabbing his elbow and get back in the ring before taking on his biggest challenge.

Seriously, you guys talking this **** are morons. Keith is the most prominent welterweight there is. I heard the same **** about Thurman before Porter and Garcia, those fights got made.

And now you're saying Thurman refused to fight a top guy? Thurman was calling out every top fighter for years before anyone would fight him. What's with this revisionist history?

You are the one with revisionist history. Fans have wanted Thurman to fight Spence for years.

Who did Thurman beat before Porter??? Julio Diaz? Bundu? Collazo??? lmao. Ok, sure.

Thurman has been a top ranked ww for over five years and has two decent fights. That is it. That is the truth. Go ahead and praise Thurman for fighting two good opponents his entire career. Before Porter, THURMAN WAS A NOBODY. Now, after Spence-Brook, Thurman is the #2 ww. And he will be #3 after Crawford makes his ww debut.

Floyd, fans, and Spence have been calling for Thurman-Spence for years. That is a fact. I realize it is inconvenient for Thurman, but neither you or Thurman can change that.
