Comments Thread For: Thurman Laughs at Talk of Giving Broner a Title Shot

[P4Pdunny]

Broner don't deserve no shot, he's played out like casette tapes.

Does Thurman have a mandatory by the WBA? I'm surprised Arum hasn't made the WBA mandate Thurman vs. Bes*****? Maybe Arum doesn't want that purse bid?

If Thurman can't get Pacquiao, then I think he fights someone like Jamal James or Kerman Lejarraga! James is fighting on February 23rd, on the Dirrell vs. Yildirim card!

I need to give Thurman a break after his last below par performance as a first fight back . I think he can improve .Broner is another matter and one of the deluded idiots like Amir Khan who think they deserve title shot after title shot after bad performances.

The reason being these are promoters dreams , never good enough to win but enough idiots to buy.

I like Keith and I’m not going to be over critical of his performance. He ****** and moved when he wanted to but even before his lay off the guy can’t take punch. I imagine him and Crawford because of their athleticism are rarely getting touched in sparring and rely heavily on their movement to get out of trouble. I’m speculating here, compared to a Spence that is intent both in his fights and in sparring to walk you down. Any fighter that adopts that tactic of walking fighters down has to have some belief in their chin( not saying slick movers have weak chins) because they are there to be hit

When Thurman was hit he was like a deer in headlights. Bouncing back startled and getting hit again. Tells me he is not used to being in that situation.

I will always favour a boxer to a slugger but the way Thurman fought the last 3 rounds against DannyGaria was horrible. Injury or no injury that was running. His power I’m beginning to discover is overrated

Let's give Run Time the benefit of the duck! He is very articulate!

[JakeTheBoxer]

Thurman -Pacquiao, yes please.

better that the come forward slow plodders either quitting or getting knocked on their ass. skills pays the bills that's why you watch chump.

My gang bets big dough on KO. That's what we watch chimp.

GGG's power hasn't looked the same since Danny Jacobs! Pacquiao's power hasn't looked the same since the first Bradley fight! A lot of fighters look more "normal" as the competition gets better! But the good thing for Thurman and Pacquiao, is that they are really good "boxers," so they have a "Plan B." They also have "enough" power to make you respect them! I think Thurman vs. Pacquiao is a great fight! MAN UP!

Eating like a rabbit sounds to he should move up to 154... or should of came back at 150.. but I agree AB does not deserve a title shot at any champion at 140 or 147

It would not surprise me if Thurman-Broner still gets made. They can simply use Thurman's last performance and his ring rust as an excuse. They can say that he needs another fight or two before stepping in there with a guy like Pacquiao. Stay tuned.
