[Derranged]

Inactive from a bad injury, I don't see the big deal.

as bad as i want to see spence ko thurman, i have no problem with keith taking a tune up fight, then his mandatory, then spence.. if this fight dont happen in q1 of 2019, im gonna go off on thurman!!! the lead up to the fight should be awesome!! another thing.. if porter and garcia were his biggest competition from amateurs up till now, he is in major trouble when he fight the truth!!! spence ko 10

I say if the fight isn't announced in Q1 I'm jumping off the Thurman bandwagon.

If it doesn't happen in 2019 it's due to this injury, could be a career ender. 1 year off, surgery, etc. etc. Hopefully all this time off was just to recover properly and he's 100%.

He lost to Andrade 3X

Andrade was his biggest amateur rival I know of. He did beat Andrade once though. Amateur is different than pros anyways.

Lol, what? Keith has a history of injuries. He was out for all of 2011 with a boxing related injury, he fought Collazo with a hand injury, he had to postpone the Porter fight due to an injury in a car accident, and he fought against Danny Garcia with injury.

GTFO of here with that BS

Damn so Keith has been pulling this **** since 2011?! but now its 2018 and still at it?! WOW!!!

The more he talks the less I like him.Sugar ray came off a 3 and a half year layoff and fought Hagler.Is it TOOO much to ask the #1 welter(at least for now)to fight the 2nd best in his 2nd fight.This guy not a REAL fighter its not like the layoff was any longer then normal for him.I mean I'm fine with 1st fight being lower top 10 but when a "champ"comes right out and says he will not even fight a top 10 guy and will need another before taking the fight everyone wants is unreal.No need to put this guy down he does it himself.Well at least he is an honest ducker.

So no Vargas?

Andrade says that's how Thurman got his nickname....because he only beat him one time
