    Who does Thurman fight next?

    What options does he have right now except for Ugas or Danny Garcia?

    There's Broner I guess. Would be a big build up although I don't really want to see Broner fight anybody half decent again on the big stage.


    Pacquiao - Thurman II would be the biggest fight for both as well, just not sure Keith would want it again. I'd actually like his chances in a rematch if he made certain adjustments.

      True, but Broner about a month ago said he’ll be fighting at 140 again. I also don’t see Pacquiao giving Thurman a rematch. There’s really no point since while it was a close fight it was a clear victory for Pacquiao. Ugas seems like the best option right now. Danny is always there but Thurman already clearly beat him. I’d rather see him fight Porter again since their fight was at least pretty close.

        Who cares? The guy didn't even sound like he wanted to fight anymore leading up to the fight.

          Well, I’m asking since he said in the post fight conference that he’ll be back & isn’t going anywhere. So it seems he has no plans of retiring anytime soon unless he maybe loses his next fight.

              I think he's going to be fighting John Molina, Josesito López type fighters for a while.

                First of, Manny needs to retire and vacate the belt he just won. Nothing to prove anymore and a fight vs Spence/Porter is not needed from him.

                For Thurman, he needs to fight for the belt again against a top contender from the WBA. Then, he can fill-in Manny’s shoes and make a unification bout against the Spence-Porter winner

                  Ugas wouldn't be a bad option, though not a fan on his style-find it extremely boring and don't see what he brings to the table. Manny fought Bradley 3x so I don't see why he wouldn't give Thurman another go.
