Comments Thread For: Thurman: If We Fight Another Champ in 2019 - It Will Be The WBC

[Bronx2245]

SWERVE! This is such NOT a good look for Thurman!

[Noelanthony]

Why...please explain?

Bro Thurman statement is ridiculous. Why not just say Spence and Crawford are tall orders and I would face them at my best it I’m not so I would probably need 2 Tuneup fights. I can respect that but to say you are going after the WBC as you are used to blah blah blah. .... go after the IBF or Wbo you have never won those belts .surely winning something you have never won before is more gratifying than getting a belt back you never lost in the ring and beating an opponent in Shawn porter that you previously beat. He is not fooling anybody and I like Keith Thurman as well

It sounds like he wants no part of Spence just as he wanted no part of Spence for the last few years. He wants no part of Crawford either. What difference does it make which champion he fights first? How can he seriously claim to be the best at 147 when he avoids fighting the two best welterweights in the world?

I been saying for ages that Keith"maybe next yr,sometime" Thurman is the biggest btchmade boxer there is by far,this guys a straight up btch. He got his ass punked on national tv by spence & all he did was giggle & say hes a pssywhooped scurred btch that "just wants to enjoy his marriage with a yr off taking long walks on the beach with new wifey". I have never seen a more effeminate pssy in all my yrs watching boxing. this pssy has no intention of EVER facing anything but limited 1 dimensional hypejobs like Danny Garcia.

Spence should’ve been going after porter anyway instead of fighting Garcia so he’s only got himself to blame.

Spence was going after Porter, jumped in the ring after he won the title and Porter was all for it that night. After that Porter went quite and strted with the excuses about mandatory's when asked about fighting spence next.

Business decisions.

I believe Thurman stated once he unifies with WBC he'll have two belts to Spence (or Crawford's) one.

Better bargaining chip at the table. Let's not forget about the money now.

Also perhaps adding the WBC might actually do something for his confidence going into big fights such as Spence Crawford like he suggested. Guy is jus coming back.

Tbh the Garcia fight was spoke about even before porter won the belt this was always his first choice. For the record I’m a massive fan of Spence which is the exact reason I’m against the Garcia fight. He won’t get any credit no matter the outcome I would’ve preferred Garcia to have a fight or two at 147 first

[AdonisCreed]

Twenty-two months since I’ve been in here. I almost forgot what it’s like when it’s your fight week and when you’re the headliner.”

Word up lol he's been out so long he almost forgot what it felt like lol I'm just ready for him to get these BS 'get back year' fights out of the way so he can get into some real action.

Everyone keeps saying..."all the welterweight talent is in PBC and Crawford is screwed!" Well they may have all the talent, but I guarantee you if they were with Top Rank they would either be fighting each other or fleeing like others already have. I simply cannot co-sign that bullsh|t they are doing there.
