Comments Thread For: Thurman: My Biggest Mistake In 2019 Was My Weight Management

[Smash]

injuries and weight gain and attitude etc all play on fighters minds, u are then trying to make them all fit so u can go back to the way u were, but sadly sometimes its just not to be, it can be done but it tough

I guess someone got to say it. Keith 'Bun time' Thurman

It’s amazing how these guys start to have come to Jesus moments when they don’t have a belt to hold hostage.

excuses after excuses, the smoke, the trainer, the lay off, the marriage, etc etc.
your biggest problem was not a problem in the previous years.You have gifts against Garcia and some say against Porter.so The problem is not your weight.
Your problem in 2019 was Manny Paquiao. Your big Mouth.
Pride Always precede Destruction.

Well said! Let's see Thurman in with Spence or Crawford.

His power hasn't been "vaunted" for the past 8 years

[OPS]

Keith your biggest mistake was calling Pacquiao a "T Rex," until his arm extended and you found yourself on the canvas.

It’s a shame how inactive he’s been over the last 5 years. He’s only fought 6 times since 2015 & who knows when he’s going to fight again. I think at Thurman’s best he would have actually had a chance to be the legit #1 welterweight. Now at best he’s the 4th or 5th best welterweight & he’s very inactive.

I mean, if Keef's wins over Porter and Thurman after gifts, then Mikey got a gift against Jesse Vargas.

I think Thurman's biggest mistake was fighting Pac after just one comeback fight. Thurman would have done better if he had one more tune up before fighting Manny.

I make you right. But the lure of facing of to a legend was to great plus the biggest pay day of his career , the guy was doomed from the get go. Where was he's trainers in the gym to tell him hey Keith you ain't ready for Pac Man, your GONER sacrifice your unbeaten record for the Bread it's a fight you can't win at this time so for get it take another fight 1st then lets see after that.
