is the WBA about to screw thurman?

[The Big Dunn]

absolute rubbish. no agenda whatsoever, fact is fighters from other countries seem to be willing to take risks earlier in their career. look at a lot of the europeans and where they are in a small numnber of fights compared to many of the americans. usyk champ in like 10 fights, lomachenko challenging for world title in 2 fights, beterbiev beating someone like cloud after a few fights, taylor challenging postol early, joshua overtaking wilder in less than half the fights, joyce looking for a fringe world level fighter after a handful of bouts. thats why boxing is buzzing over here as opposed to america where youve got crawford in his early 30s saying 'the times not right' wilder saying hes not ready for wlad after 32 or so fights, tank saying he wont be rushed, miller turning down pulev, charlos fighting noone. again its not ALL of the americans but its a lot of them who seem risk adverse and i think thats why boxing seems to be at its lowest point in america. spence and crawfords attitude just about sums it up

Those guys stay amateur longer because they get paid by the gov't where Americans do not. They turn professional at a much older age, closer to their primes, so they take on better comp in their earliest fights.

Compare that to a guy like Floyd and Tank that turns pro at 20. His early fights are more developmental than say a Usyk or a Loma. Alot of the top Americans also didn't get a chance to fight in quasi pro fights like the WBSS like Loma did.

You seem to stay trapped in a moment. A fighter says something 5 years ago and you treat it as it applies from that point on when it surely doesn't.

You also do the 2 step. Spence beat Brook when you said he wouldn't. Crawford got avoided bad by Manny. Had these men been non Americans you would've pointed that out and not criticized them.

im not a pacquiao fan and yes he ducked crawford blatantly, but at this stage its not much of a credible win anyway. hes been knocked about and hes 40 years old now and showing his age. brook was a very good win but thats one solid win and a bunch of trash. they all want to be like mayweather without putting in the hard work that he did, he saw the best guys and he took them out one after the other. the only fight they really marinated was the pacquiao one and by that point manny was an 8 weight champion and mayweather had a stacked resume. the new crop are as lame as hell

lololol wtf ...what is that from

[champion4ever]

I hope not. They shouldn't strip him of his title due to an injury. It's a long shot but Keith Thurman should probably announce an indefinite retirement in hopes that the WBA would recognize him as their Super champion Emeritus until his return.

[Mammoth]

Maybe for the 12 year olds on here, which is about 75% of you.

It was sarcasm

[N/A]

manny is not from nor does he live in the usa he lives like a king in the Philippines. he's not signing with gayweather Jr PAC is going to promote his own fights in Asia like he's doing with this matthysse fight or just flat out retire hilarious how you know manny financial status you're in experiment in everything aren't you lol a real dusional one.

He lives like a king because he spends all his money.

He can make more in one night against Mayweather than he'd make fighting 15 fights in Asia.

Love those haters, thurman deserves to be stripped end of story.

MP doesnt need belts to be watched, its his style thats gonna be watched so he doesnt pay attention to any god damn title.

[KillaMane26]

yeah its hard to defend Thurman....dude aint even got a fight date

[Dean_Razorback]

I kid you not, Sean Gibbons on twitter said that Lucas Matthysse is still the WBA's regular champion and that this belt is a "Super Regular" belt.
