      thurman wins. how is spence gonna stop thurman when he couldnt stop 135lbs mikey garcia?? when he couldnt stop porter!!! "style makes fight".. so spence should have stopped porter then!!! no way spence stops thurman when thurman is more mobile than porter and thurman can also box.

        Thurman has the faster feet, hand-speed is close IMO, Spence has better technique and far better timing though and that would be the difference.

        He ain’t stronger than Spence either man, Spence would destroy him to the body IMO. I’m absolutely convinced Spence would stop him.

        I’d like to see the fight though...

          I'm loving this era of welters man, as usual, they will be loved more when they're gone and when the next gen is coming through, everyone's gonna be like 'hffsjfs these guys couldn't fack with Thurman, Spence, Porter, they're cut from a different clothe' etc...
          It’s possibly the best era since SRL, Hearns, Duran, Benitez, Palomino, Cuevas etc.

          So many great fights to be made...

            Idk that Keith is the same guy he was. Him being 50/50 with Manny is either showing that or its showing that Manny is better than hes been looking the last few years. I think the former is more likely. I think Keith lost his best years to inactivitiy & thats not going to do anything to enhance his longevity or ability to get back where he was at.

            I think its more like 70/30 Errol & I think Errol has a easier time with Keith than he had with Shawn.

              Maybe it is to you but it sure isn't to me. I remember Thurman's loss to Pac and him being damn near KOed by lousy Lopez. I think Spence knocks him out.

                So you think we saw a faded version of him against Garcia and Pacquiao?

                He looked like crap against Lopez but that's understandable given the circumstances around his time away from the ring and recovering from his surgeries, but I thought he looked good against Garcia and dare I say very good against Pacquiao.

                  Because styles make fights, and we know Thurman don't like it to the body, and guess who throws lots and lots of body shots.

                    Spence stops him in the later rounds once Thurman has gassed and gets complacent. Body shots would do him in.
