        I’m absolutely convinced Spence would stop him.

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

        People still making Spence out to be this KO artist LOL. He couldn't make a dent against a fat lightweight and looked weak against Porter in spots. Sure, he dropped Porter but Porter sprang back up and brought the heat right back to him pushing him to the ropes. He's not stopping anybody at the top level even with his size advantage. A healthy Thurman would outbox him and stun him. Spence doesn't move his head and showed he gets thrown off by footwork.

        Even Danny Garcia saw all the glaring flaws in Spence and happily stepped up to him. lol

          If Spence goes to the body, he stops Thurman. Thurman lacks Porter`s toughness.

            There is a reason why Thurman wanted Pacquiao and wanted Spence next year

            Let's see if Pacquiao fights Spence now which I doubt

              Spence himself has already said Thurman is tough.

              And for all the talk about how weak Keith is to the body, he's never been stopped or even dropped by a body shot.

                I always thought Thurman and Spence would be a close, competitive fight with Thurman winning...but I think Keith has been on the slide a bit lately. Thurman has better foot and hand speed than Spence, but Thurman seems to attack his opponent, do some good damage, and then he moves away without sustaining the onslaught....Spence would keep coming after Thurman and I'm not sure Thurman would be into a long, drawn out war....Although, I could be wrong about that....One thing I truly believe about Thurman is that he is a true warrior and he's very talented. Even at this stage I wouldn't be surprised to see Thurman win against Spence or Crawford...or Pacquiao in a rematch....In fact, I'd favour Thurman to win the rematch with Manny.

                    Are we talking the injured Thurman vs Manny or the best Thurman that might be gone forever needing surgery again after Manny fight ?

                      Well just have to agree to disagree on that one! Let's see if the fight gets made but I doubt Thurman will be calling for it once his latest injury is healed. No doubt he want another "warm up" payday. . . .
