Comments Thread For: Thurman: I'm No. 1 at 147, Spence is 2 - No Credit For Crawford!

[_original_]

He's not lying. Even Crawford, Porter, and Spence have stated that Keith is number 1, not sure why people here have a problem with that. I think Spence is the number 2 guy although it's honestly debatable between him and Shawn Porter if you're going by resume. Hell, I'd even go as far and say that Porter is #2. Danny has a crap resume at 147 and has lost twice, not sure why he's still ranked high by some people. Bud is tricky because he's arguably the most skilled guy there but his wins over Horn and Benavidez are subpar to say the least. He's stuck in a wasteland and is begging a washed up Amir Khan to fight him just to get a name under him.

Porter's just an ok fighter. Nothing special and certainly not pound for pound material.

This is a fact

They’re all #3 and have to slug it out

I think thats the guy that is still trying to figure out which parent to plead allegiance to. Talks with a lisp in ebonics around brothers and like your avg local newscaster on tv...I believe thats him

racist comment

Is this the freezing part that is happening in boxing? Talking the talk and. It walking the walk. I have no issues with Keith at 1, Spence at 2, porter at 3 but trying to pretend that Crawford doesn’t exist is laughable. At the end of the day we want all the belts to be unified. Crawford and his side are very vocal about fighting the other guys, I just don’t like the noise that is coming from that other side of the street.

No, Porter has better resume than Spence.

Some time, one time, no time ............ yawn.

As we saw, he is not much worse than Thurman. Fight was close. And Porter beat Garcia, that is better win than Spence beating damaged Brook.

Crawford>Thurman. Thurman should be stripped by wba and unranked after 2 years

Thurman walked the talk more than anybody else at 147 in current boxing, yet is called the big mouth. Spence and Crawford are fighting mismatches and seem glad not fighting each others while Thurman has been injured.

Say what you want about Thurman but he's the only one who beat 2 primes elite guys at 147.


Crawford has beaten none, Spence has beaten one coming off a violent tko loss + injury and long lay off.

So I know some will say Garcia and porter are not elite but they are, they are top 5 in one of the best division in boxing.

In terms of results he's right with his ranking.

Sad thing is Thurman is a very respectable fighters, but since bsc became a racist platform, I believe Thurman getting bashed for being too white for some and too black for others.
