Comments Thread For: Does the Keith Thurman That Beat Garcia & Porter Still Exist?

[Sledgeweather17]

Manny is a 40 year old living legend and he can absorb a loss without effect.

Keith on the other hand won't fair as well, people will forget how he was avoided or good he really was at his short lived prime.

When was Keith avoided? By whom?

Thurman will know what it is to lose come fight night.

Pacman asked who he wants to fight next, one of them is Earl Spencer (sic)

At 40 years I don't see Pacman beating any highly competitive welterweight fighter.

Thurman won't lose.

The loser of this fight is a candidate for retirement.

So you're saying Thurman is a "highly competitive welterweight" at the world class level?

I don’t understand why Thurman gets so much criticism. When he beat Porter and Garcia, they were considered the best at 147. His fight with Porter was an absolute classic! He was injured and made his fight with Garcia look easy. Like any other elite athlete, he got injured and wisely took some time off. In his return fight with Lopez, it was very evident that he is still a world class fighter who just happened to get clipped with a good shot. But like all the great champions, he survived and still outclassed his opponent. By no means do I think he’s scared of Spence or any fighter at 147. If he beats Pacquiao and Spence beats Porter, then that fight will be that much bigger. He knows that. Any intelligent individual that understands business can understand that. And as much as I love Spence, he is not the killer he’s hyped up to be. Great fighter but easy to figure out for an elite boxer. I have no clue who wins between the 2, but Thurman definitely has the ability, style, and experience to beat Spence. I think Crawford’s style would present a more difficult challenge for Thurman. STYLES MAKE FIGHTS!

People really exaggerating how bad Thurman looked against a decent fighter in Lopez.

What has lopez done in his entire career that makes him a decent fighter? He's lost every single big fight he's even been in except the Ortiz fight,and that was after the guy had quit against maidana,and been finished by mayweather.

He's never been that good and is a testament to the WW PRE Spence and Crawford.

Guess that we will see but Packy post Horn has demonstrated an uncanny knack for picking name boxers who are on the way out.

I love your avatar lol
