Dude lighten the **** up and give this guy a break for **** sake the champ has been ring absent for 34 ****ing months for crying out loud what the **** do you won't? , for the man to come straight back and fight someone rated PP 1st fight ? , that ain't realist know fighter don't care who the **** they are goner come straight back after 34 months lay off and fight the best.

I never valued Keith before the injury. I have always said he is grossly overrated with wins over grossly overrated WW peers.

Danny and Shawn are dominators of Devon Alexander, Robert the Ghost Guerrero, Lamont Peterson, and Zab Judah...and most of those guys were when they were over the hill.

There's nothing impressive about - literally - just edging both of those guys. Keith almost lost Louis Collazo - a career journeyman. Keith also looked horrible against Zaveck - who Andre Berto...another journeyman...dominated.

What is impressive about that???

Keith has always been overrated. The dude is not anything special. I'm happy he's supposedly coming back only so Spence or Terrence can wipe that clown from relevancy.

TC is the dude at WW and Errol is a close 2nd. I'm looking forward to their fight

Thurman is finished. If he doesn’t pull out of this fight he’ll likely retire after it as soon as the pressure to fight Spence or Crawford mounts again.

Not complaining as its a shake the cobwebs off type of fight

... his last fight was on March 4, 2017, right?...

Great so he plans to focus on the wbc belt when no one wants to see him fight porter again. Fight bud or Spence and stop BS

Lol good point. “Sometimes” Thurman wants no part of those 2.

Things are about to get really interesting @ 147, now that Thurman is back in the mix! I feel sorry for my boy Bud! I don't see where he's going to get a major payday! Thurman, Porter, Spence Jr., Mikey Garcia, Pacquiao, Broner, DSG, and Ugas all lined up for the 1st quarter of 2019!

[Steven Mccowan]

Glad to see thurman back! Be a favorite of mint to watch for yrs! Him and Crawford two best ww imo. Would love that fight next yr!

First, I would like to say welcome back to Keith Thuman. The boxing world missed him while he was away and was never quite the same without him.

However, I must say that if Thurman and Porter were to rumble sometime in 2019, I seriously believe that Porter would defeat him. I truly believe that he would do it decisively this time; Perhaps even by knockout.

If Porter just so happens to be Keith's mandatory after the Ugas bout, then it's a wrap for One time. On the other hand, if I was Thurman, I would be in search of another tuneup or two before challenging Porter again for the WBC title.

This way Porter could unify against Spence in the interim. Providing, that he defeats Mikey Garcia in March of 2019.

Dude lighten the **** up and give this guy a break for **** sake the champ has been ring absent for 22 ****ing months for crying out loud what the **** do you won't? , for the man to come straight back and fight someone rated PP 1st fight ? , that ain't realist know fighter don't care who the **** they are goner come straight back after 22 months lay off and fight the best.

Keith is that u ?
Calm down, all I said was that he’s good enough (even coming off a layoff) to fight a better dance partner than Lopez. Someone like Peterson would of been perfect.

... I remember another "huge" WW champ who came after a shorter layoff and fought only a lightweight...
