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

Keith, the injuries & lay-off done you in. Even a 40yr old exposed you. Take the retirement pay that you just made & call it. You’ll not make that kind of money for even harder fights. Enjoy married life while you have a brain

Pac is not just an ordinary 40 years old, he’s a living legend, the world’s only 8 division champion, boxer of the decade and 3-time boxer of the year.

Crawford is no top player. Top asterisk maybe. Which is why they didn't even bother showing him on the banner.

Pacquiao is on a different level and Thurman had the wrong game plan trying to prove something. Instead of just doing what Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn did for an easy unanimous.

Thurman is a talented and an honorable fighter who wouldn’t use elbows, headbutts and headlocks to gain an unfair advantage in a boxing match. He will be back!

the beating pacquiao absorbed fro thurman may very well end his career

He got more beating from Margarito, what are you talking about?

[BoxingSensei]

Why not not rematch pac instead of Danny.
At least pac has belts.

I think Manny is looking for Spence/Porter winner for his next fight.
Danny is available.

Thurman is one of those guys that say a whole lot but are not really saying anything

LMAO people on here think or want him to retire when Keith clearly said he's not going nowhere. Winnable fights out there like AB, Mikey Garcia, Amir Khan etc so why in the Hell would he hang up the gloves & kiss that $$ goodbye?

[Arma316]

I think after some more time off and reflection, Keith will realize it’s time for him to ride off into the sunset. He has no leverage now in getting big fights with Spence and Crawford, and I’m not sure Pac gives him a rematch.

Keith should enjoy his retirement now. He can travel the world with his wife and he won’t have the pressure of people wanting him to fight Spence and Crawford. He shouldn’t come back.

No, he did not.
I was there.
Pac was shook by a few right crosses.
Plus, Pac is older now.

Pac can't take more punishment like this.
If Pac decides to hang it up, it would be a great decision.
Margarito only hurt Pac in the body.

No shame in Keith's performance.

Pac was too fast and had too much experience. Keith got off to a rough start and struggled to make adjustments more quickly. He'll learn from this and come back. I still would watch Thurman fight Crawford, Spence, Ugas, Garcia or Porter.

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 a legit 147lb fighter. I am dead serious.

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

Crawford would have been the lineal champ by now if Pacquiao didn’t announce his retirement after Bradley 3. Linage would have been from Pac-Horn-Crawford making Crawford the #1 in the division
