Comments Thread For: Thurman: I'll Be Back At The Top Of Sport; Not Going Nowhere

[Htown-Finest]

Thurman still got a lot left. He ain’t going no where

[GhostofDempsey]

Thurman has nothing to be ashamed about. He lost to an ATG who has come back strong from a KO loss, shoulder surgery and a blatant robbery. Keith can take some time off to do some soul searching and return in top form when he is ready. He will be a top five welter upon his return.

This would've been Deontay Wilder against a 41-yr old Wlad or Povetkin but he ducked the fights, lol.

Just fight Porter and Mikey. Or go fight Khan in Saudi Arabia.

Go fight Garcia.

[siablo14]

Yeah this fight is a must, Crawford will be thinking hell beat Thurman, so perhaps the fight will be made.

We shall wait and see.

Not happening. PBC aint giving Crawford any type of help. He gotta cross the street first.

He had a competitive fight with Josesito Lopez. Lopez is a guy Berto stopped. People will bring up his wins vs Garcia and Porter, but those fights were super close. I wouldn't have had an issue if either fight had been scored the other way. Considering his history, I never fully bought into Thurman being elite. And now, the final straw for me is him getting beat up by a 41 yr old Pacman. Thurman ain't the guy. I get why he never wanted anything to do with Spence. He will get stopped if he fights Crawford or Spence.

Red - Nah. He shut out Lopez except for the round where Lopez hurt him with a body shot.

Blue - Nah. That one wasnt close.

Was Crawford at the fight?

All the major players at 147 was in attendance.

Why you not showing up at these events?

Fck is wrong with you Bud?!

Not his team event.

You must be FloydTBE cause you dont "know shi+ about boxing" Thurman is elite and has been the face of the 147 pound division before he got hurt. When elite fighters fight elite fighters you're going to get close exciting fights. Plus he fought Garcia hurt and make no mistake he won both fights against Garcia and Porter. So Spence is the truth now cause his biggest win is against Mikey Garcia who is a tiny welterweight and basically moved up two weight classes for a paycheck. Nothing wrong with a young fighter losing to an aging legend. Just ask Foreman when he lost Ali. Thurman is still relevant and will still have great fights. He's a exciting fighter and will be fine.

Blue - he is the man because people you call elite such as Thurman didn't want to fight him.

[Spoon23]

Yes he can. He just have to keep on practicing his great stare. That will keep him great.


When you get dropped and still try and maintain the intimidating stare down

Wtf? Horn should have been dq'd, points taken away, and/or TKO'd in the 9th vs Manny. In the Crawford fight, he could have went the distance and was pissed that the ref stopped the fight in the 10th.

Manny is on a different level!
-Leonard Ellerbe

Fighters are always pissed when the ref stops the fight.

How many fights do you see where the guys like, "Yeah, I'd like you to stop the fight, please".

Crawford won EVERY ROUND against Horn, who could barely function.

Horn roughed Pac up, but he couldn't do that against the much stronger, younger, and meaner Crawford, which is my point.

Crawford would maul Pacquiao, which is why Bob Arum kept him away from Pac 3 years ago



Arum also predicted Manny would be Keith Thurman, who he said "couldn't fight anymore".

[TheWinners]

This was a very competitive fight that Manny edged out. Keith Thurman was too thirsty for the ko. He could've beat Pacquiao even after the knockdown if he actually used his jab and stop loading up right hands. I suppose he really wanted to win that Ko bet. If he uses his jab he probably wins 2 more rounds and the fight. I'm sure he will be back and have to game plan better. And i suppose his power isn't capable of knocking out anyone at this point. Because he hit Manny with the best shots you can land and he didnt flinch.
