Comments Thread For: Thurman: To Become a Legend - You Need To Beat a Legend!

[Fire4231]

Don’t think I have seen a fighter become this unlikable so quickly. This cat really thinks he can game reality with his BS. Keith needs an AJ @ss whooping desperately. Hoping Manny gives it to him.

If he wins this fight the goal is to never fight Errol or Terrence. He will just keep referencing his “greater,” legendary Resume using Manny as a differentiator. WTF happened to this dude? How were we that wrong on this brother’s charachter?

[Rip Chudd]

Like Danny Green did when he beat Roy Jones

Stfu and fight Spence

Was thinking the same. Even if he win, he is stated that the Spence fight would not be until end of 2020.

Manny is willing to fight Spence at the end of the year.

Wtf is Thurman waiting for?

I guess he wants Spence to lose or wear down first and let him struggle at weight because of Spence size/body proportion relative to his weight.

It's smart tho. It's bound to happen to Spence and even Crawford. Thurman is waiting for that AJ moment.

If you beat Pac, but beating a 40 year old up will not make you a legend. Fighting the top guys, taking on up and coming new pups, unifying belts are things that make you legend.

Yeah Thurman is waiting for that AJ moment lol. He is saying after 2 years out it would be ****** to fight Spence without 3 or 4 fights first. MAnny would fight anyone but think Thurman will beat him.

Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn became #1 Welterweight in the World, #5 P4P just for UNANIMOUSLY beating Manny Pacquiao at the Battle of Brisbane. He's right alongside HOF elites like Marquez, Morales, Bradley and Floyd. He's a lock.

Because"at the end of the day", it really is...

Thurman may talk about fighting Spence in the future, will never discuss a fight with Crawford...Keith would end up in the ICU..

[mathed]

I thought he was old and had a bad ring IQ? You want to get the credit for beating a "legend" yet you have painted this fight as a cherry pick for you.

Have you ever picked a bad cherry off of the tree before? HAhaha, well you are about to find out what that tastes like there "Once upon a time"

[MDPopescu]

WRONG! To become a legend, you need to do legendary things.(...)

yeap...

Might not be much to read into, but if theres any "pressure" on one fighter, it all lands on Thurman.

Pac is 40 and has about as much mileage a fighter has ever had while still being semi competitive. Still if he loses most people will brush it off as a sign that manny should finally quit.

Thurman however with a loss, will have his elite level career effectively ended at age 30. If he cant beat an old man pacquiao, nobody will take him serious against crawford, or errol spence. the actual class of the welterweight division.

... sure...

He could knock Pacquiao out in the first round and that wouldn't make him a legend. Beating Spence and Crawford would be a lot more impressive than beating old ass Manny.

... yes...

On the last episode of PBC Fight Camp, Thurman was shown to be sleeping every night in a hyperbaric chamber that he bought for his home.

He said he thinks it's going to put him over the top to beat Pacquiao, but Pacquiao is the one looking sharper in camp to me. That 40 year old legend is going to make him look bad, win or lose.

... but the 40 yo legend is going to make him look bad only if he is really making him look bad, tbh...
