Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman: I'm Young, I Still Have A Lot To Offer The Sport

[Joe Beamish]

Would love to the see the top welters get after it. Been saying this for years, still waiting.

Crawford is gonna win because you said so? Don’t make me laugh. I gave you two scenarios of how Crawford would win and Keith and there’s strength and weaknesses.crawford should be favorite because Crawford is undefeated. Thurman got beat by a legend. But defeat is a defeat and It effects fighters psyche .Break the fight down. You don’t want to cuz you don’t know how to . Your argument is because this guy beat this guy and this guy beat this guy , therefore he’s gonna win!! Go sit down.

Okay, I'm convinced, you must be in the 3rd or 4th grade, sorry for asking you to bet your lunch money your parents provide for you.

What funny is, Spence and crawford haven't proved anything in a WELTERWEIGHT division they are just a bunch of hype job who will keep protecting their 0 just like your idol.

Remind me, who is my idol?

[Richard G]

spence & crawford are bums

Spence is a bit over rated but Crawford beat that Orstralian fella who beat Manny. So what does that make Manny?

Geez, does this clown ever shut up? Every time there's yet another bit from the guy, I'm hearing in the back of my head....

The only things I wanna hear coming from him are that the Spence or Bud fights are signed and scheduled soon. And the odds of either happening this century are slim and none.

he's mentally done...first loss of his career..he's all into that Buddhism..his mind isn't in the game since he was talkin retirement and starting a family....he better cash out vs mikey garcia or move up n fight canelo

Anyway he look at it he got his ass handed over by a 40 year old man, he talks a good game that's all....

Yeah but you're simplifying Manny Pacquiao to just some "40 year old man".

That ain't no regular 40 year old boxer, dude.

I fancy Thurman to draw or get away with either MD or SD against Crawford or Spence.

Thurman is very successful with his wide hooks against bigger opponents, not so much against a little dude that can sharpshoot.

If someone like Thurman throws big looping hooks against little dudes like Manny that can sharpshoot, it's a very wide opening for counters. In hindsight, this Thurman version was the tightest Thurman in defense we've ever seen.

His style only works perfectly against bigger dudes.

I think thurman will be back at the top he can still beat spence or crawford....

Lol, he ain't beating either of them. You think weak body Thurman gonna beat Spence the Body Snatcher? He literally has no shot. Spence is his kryptonite.

Crawford is also mean to the body so I don't see Thurman surviving that either. Plus Crawford learns from other people's experiences you saw how he neutralized Horn's rough house tactics after he saw Horn's game against Pacquiao.

Everything good Thurman did against Pac will be taken away by TC and every weakness he showed fully exploited.

Plus, Spence and Crawford are just plain more talented and tougher than Keith.

Crawford is PAST-PRIME - yep I said it. He's 32 years old in a month and he won't be the same physically as he was at 28-29 years old. Mentally, boxing iq in the ring, sure he still has it, but you are not the same at 32 as you are at

Spence at 28 can wait for Crawford to age another year or two.

Crawford hasn't taken alot of punishment though so I think he is still gonna be at his prime for a while still.
