Who should Thurman fight next?
Thurman's coming off a close loss and surgery, and won't return until some TBA date in 2020. But he was talking about how he beat Porter clearer than Spence, and how Danny Garcia hits much harder than Porter and will be a tough fight for Spence. He's also talking about how he wasn't 100% against Lopez and Pacquiao.
Thurman:
"The surgery was a bone fusion, so they fused some of my metacarpals, there is not an issue with my fingers or the knuckles that I make a fist with. It feels so much better now. Right after surgery, it was quite painful with a lot of initial swelling. Right now, it feels good and it's not swollen as it was. I'm not on any pain meds or anything. It bothered me in camp and disrupted my preparations more than anything, which is another reason I decided to get the surgery now instead of waiting and doing it later, I can't promise I would be the same Keith Thurman and I couldn't promise a great comeback if I were to keep fighting in the condition I was in. Losing to Pacquiao is evidence you can't be a one-handed champion. If you really want to be the best in the world, you have to be the best you can be to fight any type of world-class fighter. Even with one hand, I fought a hell of a fight."
Will Thurman fight once or twice in 2020?
Porter rematch? Danny Garcia rematch? Pacquiao rematch? Lipinets? Mikey? Ugas? Spence? Crawford?
