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

[RuleOfTheSpear]

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.

Keith ain't no Floyd. And he doesn't want to be like Floyd. I can tell Keith is seeking glory and he had a taste of it that night. I thought he was gunna announce his retirement. But he is seeking glory to add to his legacy.

True that, man. I'm with you.

And I would love to see him again. There's nothing like him and there never will be again. My favorite. I could tell in between rounds he looked spent at times. He took some solid shots in the later rounds. I think he really had to dig deep to keep competing in that fight in the 2nd half. It was faith experience and will power that kept him going. 8 months from now if he fights again and it goes into the championship rounds he will be a sitting duck and at that point it will be a spent smaller guy getting pounded by someone 25 pds heavier. That could be scary. If he should win his next fight it would only mean as much as this victory and no more. Just more of the same. So really there's no reason to fight. Never have we seen a man 2 divisons smaller dominate the bigger guys with speed and angles however it ends ugly when the smaller guy is shot.

It's very hard for me to give this fight to Pacquiao. Horn and Marquez 3 and Bradley 1 I can see. This fight I just can't see Manny winning he got hit more and harder then ever before

you are an idiot ....even thurman admitted he thought he needed atleast a KD to win

[KING5TWENTY]

He's being modest knowing the pac biased fan base and corrupt judging. He was raising his hands as soon as the fight ended and was raising his hands like what else can I do after they have Pac the dec.

I still don't believe in Crawford. The welterweight division still doesn't have a clear #1. If Keith would had won he would be #1. Now that he lost. It's up in the air between Spence and Manny. I will never give Crawford credit until he beats I a legit 147lb fighter. I am dead serious.

If Porter does the upset then it is very wide open.

Didn't Crawford school and KO the guy who beat Manny in his first fight at welterweight?

Had he not been hit with that vicious liver shot, I think Thurman did enough to at least get a draw. Great fight, happy for Pac.

I doubt it I think Thurman has one foot out the door and doesn't really care about boxing. He's said over and over he's not even a boxing fan, he's had injuries, got married and it's changed him. He was saying even if he won he was taking the rest of the year off. For phuk sake he had no problem taking 2 years off. He's not hungry and boxing isn't his top priority anymore. He looked bad against Lopez and everyone said it was just rust...it wasn't. I think you will see diminished returns on him from here on out

No need to think about retirement. We need Thurman around, he is though fight for everybody at 147.
