Comments Thread For: Thurman Reacts To Critics: Every Welterweight Wanted Pacquiao

[Bronx2245]

Or because he's the most proven and #1 welterweight in the world?

He is the most proven, but his last test was fighting Danny Garcia in March of 2017! It is now July 2019! Anyway Buboy himself admitted that they chose Thurman because he looked so bad vs. Josesito Lopez. Manny is not ******! He saw an eager Jerry Jones, he saw 47K in AT & T, and he knows Jerry Jones loves Errol Spence! He saw all that and chose Thurman! Enough said!

So if he is the most proven, aka has fought and beaten the best competition, you are only ranking others above him based on assumption/eye test, which is fine, but I hope you keep the same standard with all fighters.

And the last the time Spence or Bud fought a 'test'? I'll wait.

kell brooke aint that bad.

won the championship on away turf. and it was a clear win, no controversy.

Best welterweight record right now is Keith Thurman.

He's the only one so far who unified and defeated undefeated 33-0 Danny Garcia. The rest are just smokes and mirrors.

That's exactly what i'm doing, and adding to the fact that Thurman, Porter, and DSG, have been avoiding Spence like the plague! This is not like Teofimo showing up out of nowhere, challenging Loma! The 3 Amigos (Thurman, Porter, and DSG) know exactly what Spence brings to the table, and they didn't want none of that! They probably were praying Brook would beat him, but he didn't! Now it's game over! As far as Crawford goes, ask Freddie Roach what he sees in him! Ask Freddie why he didn't want that for Pacquiao?

Thurman had been out of the ring for 2 years, Porter had bigger fights lined up against Thurman and Danny, Danny moved up to welter and fought Thurman, the #1 guy and Porter for the WBC. This is a case of you seeing what you want to see. Spence has to wait his turn just like everyone else, nobody owes him anything. Now that there's more hype and substance around him, Porter is fighting him and Thurman is saying they can make that fight next year. The Truth is the Truth, but lets not get things twisted.

As for Roach, he doesn't decide who Pacman fights. Arum didn't put up the money for Pacman to fight Crawford, PBC/Haymon have put the money up. Plus Thurman is a name so it's easy to sell. This is a business, friend.

This guy is clearly making sh**t up. Haymon made the fight. Spence was angry and so jealous of KT.

I guess you're cool with Thurman saying Spence has to wait until "late" 2020? I'm not! That's where we differ! You see that kind of BS as legit, and I don't!

Buboy is more than "this guy!" Manny made the fight! Thurman was his choice! He even said he went to Spence vs. Garcia "to see Garcia!" That's who they were hoping for, but he got dominated! Manny then chose Thurman, but he could have had Spence in AT & T! Jerry Jones was all in! Manny was not!

Yeah, if Haymon picked Spence for Pac, these people would say,
Pac ducked Thurman, Pac saw Spence couldn't even clip a small 135 guy, that's why.
It's the same old narrative coming from TBE fans.
It's 2020 and they're still resurrecting age-old kiddie discussions.

I guess they want a 41 yr old out of prime Pac at a severe disadvantage.
That;s pure hate doe.
