Thurman's comments remind me a little of Victor Ortiz.
“Pshh … probably,” Thurman said when asked about retiring if Pacquiao beats him. “I’d at least think about it. I’d at least be like, ‘Can I do some more commentating or something? Can I do some more commentating?’ Momma said I look good in a suit. I don’t think she wants to see her boy get punched on TV. Getting beat up by an old man.”
You can probably erase that last sentence because everything before it just implies that his heart ain't really there anymore. He's already fantasizing a different career outside of boxing. When a fighter is in his prime they're usually thinking about legacy, capturing major titles while fighting the best boxing has to offer. Thurman's young and in his prime and facing the biggest name to date and he's thinking about possibly commentating instead of, "Oh, I want all the belts, I want this guy next." His tune from 3 years ago has changed drastically. I remember watching videos of him saying he wanted all the smoke. Now he seems more tamed. Idk, but that's just my opinion.
