Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Thurman Has To Fight Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia!

[j.razor]

It is crazy how they are all avoiding Spence. Still, a lot of it is Spence's fault. He has fought once since taking the belt from Brook. He knows he is going to have to fight Ocampo and Ugas. Why the f is he not fighting until June??? He should knock Ocampo out this weekend and Ugas a month later. And Alexander a month after that, and then two months later fight DSG. And call out Thurman after every fight. That's how you get people knowing you, wanting to watch you fight. When you fight once or twice a year and only a good opponent every two or three years, then only us diehards know who they are.

Honestly, why June? Does Spence need six months to get ready for Ocampo? Does it take six months to promote the fight? Screw dates, throw him on FS1. Spence is just wasting time in the prime of his career. When he is an absolute killer.

Your moving a little too fast there buddy, this aint NASCAR....LOL

lol, porter and garcia should fight each other and the winner should fight keith again. stop wasting time

Exactly, and Keith should fight Spence at the end of the year and the winners face each others. Nobody is mentioning Spence in that conversation and I don't know why.

nice! thurman still beats porter and garcia!

[suffolkbull3]

this is furkn bs!!! so let me get this straight for thurman, a tune up, then late 18 porter, then sometime in 19 garcia, thats if he even gets by porter again which i think he will. no wonder all us spence / tyson diehards are salty!!! fight ***n errol u bithc!!

[j.razor]

Your boy Floyd did it. What's wrong with Keith doing the same?

Floyd beat everyone.

"Thurman is then bound to fulfill back to back mandatory obligations - against Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia."

Against fighters you have ALREADY beaten.
This boxing business is just WACK, good fights though they may be!!!

And how does Danny get in the mandatory discussion already....by beating a washed up , SHOT Rios!
Why not just make a belt and give it to him.

Maybe cuz at this current time Porter & DSG brings in the most $?

[TreJac]

Garcia vs Rios was an eliminator bout? Really? How are Porter and Garcia not fighting each other next? So this means Garcia will be fighting another tune-up again? The WBC is as corrupted as they come. What happened to the Garcia vs Porter fight the WBC called for to become Thurman's mado a few months ago? Let me get this straight, Porter, Garcia, Spence, Vargas, etc. Are waiting to fight one man(Keith)? Why is it so difficult for Haymon to get these guys to fight each other? People like to criticize Arum about every little thing and most of it is deserving, but Haymon is no better and should be criticized just as much.

[Removed Now]

Agreed...let them fight each other and the winner takes on Errol Spence or Thurman.

That makes the most sense, WBC is acting ******.

[Removed Now]

Maybe Keith should take an page out of the mayweather boxing school and just drop the belt. Don't let them dictate your career. You're already the top rated welterweight f the belt. Go after the big money fights.

[CLUE]

What Keith Thurman should do is tell the WBC to go to Hell; By vacating its title while holding onto his WBA title and then perhaps unify against Errol Spence, Jr. For the IBF title sometime early next year.

The reason why I say this is because he no longer has anything to prove at this point. I mean he's already defeated both Porter and Garcia.

If Porter and Garcia wants that trinket so badly, then by all means; Let the WBC sanction a championship bout between them in order to fight for its vacancy and determine their champion.

Why would he tell them to go to hell, if this is exactly what he wants. His reaction to this will tell it all. When has it ever been logical for a fighter to be ok with back to back rematches of fights the public is NOT demanding. Thurman is in on this. Anything to push back the Spence fight and make some checks before losing all his titles.
