      Thurman took 2 years off due to injury, came back and looked bad against Josesito Lopez then loses to Pacquiao. Now he’s been off for quite some time already, instead if staying busy and he wants to get right back in there with Crawford? He’s being ******. Might as well cash out vs Canelo.

        Crawford might accept this fight if he sees your post. Crawford's resume shows he loves faded former champs, b class or lower trinket holders, and bums. I still think Keef can knock Crawford out. Eurobum Mean Machine dropped Crawford last fight . Crawford wants the Spence fight to cash out. He wants a big check for a potential L. Crawford will end up fighting another bum though.

          Thurman showed some meddle in his fight with Pac. As people said, he's been hurt, out, and really appearing to be on the decline recently...but he stayed in with Pac and adjusted his style a bit to finally start to walk down Pac and get to his body. I think people thought he'd have been gone by that point after that 1st rd.

          Wondering if TC has declined just a tad also? I think he may have....so the idea of his suspect defense /chin may come into play more.

          I like TC because he takes big time risks in the ring - when I watch him fight, I am typically pretty nervous ...because he puts himself into bad positions and is open to be hit flush. That's what makes him really exciting to me...and also because has a cold killer instinct.

          Thurman's right hands are not whipping in there like they used to, they don't look to have the same power anymore..so he probably will land that punch but does it have enough on it these days...can he catch TC in between like Gamboa and Mean Machine. It's a close fight I think, not a blowout for Crawford at all.

          I'll go with Crawford because we know that Thurman's liver seems to be a magnet for southpaws, or someone who can go southpaw like TC.

            He doesn’t want Crawford. At least he see’s no point of going through the trouble (outside of PBC) for Crawford. It wasn’t that long ago where he said he can easily fight Spence, Porter, Garcia or even Mikey or Broner. It was about a month ago. Or have we already forgot about the “WB-NO”?

            He’s lightened up on the subject, whether from fan backlash or whatever it is, but the guy asked him: Big money - Crawford? Answer: “ehh, Probably”.

            Thurman is a much better style matchup for Crawford than Spence, but he’d be dumb to fight Crawford coming off an injury that has kept him out of the gym. Garcia would be much safer, if not, someone even just below like Lipinets.

              I'm not sure if there's even a clamor for Thurman vs Danny 2 anymore

              Seeme to have died out.

              And yeah, getting dropped by an unknown euro fighter raises many su****ion of Crawford's chin/durability

                Make the fight much respect to Thurman for trying to get these guys in their prime win or lose.

                  Not sure what Crawford wanted to prove in that fight
                  It’s like he was trying to showboat or showcase himself into getting his next fight
                  Mean machine is no scrub either just cause he’s unknown to some boxing fans
                  I really don’t think Crawford has a bad chin
                  I think he got caught like every other fighter does
                  His chin is good , if anything he’ll have to step up his game since I think he lowers his standards to his opponent
                  Be a good start with Thurman , like the fight and it’ll be a good fight for how long it lasts
                  See Crawford getting a late ko/tko

                    Agan, Crawford won`t be allowed to take that risk, even though Thurman is coming from a loss.

                      And I agree. Thurman just making headlines. Keith wants no part of Crawford...would love the fight though
