Comments Thread For: Spence On Fighting Thurman: That Sh-t Ain't Happening; F--k Keith Thurman!

[Marvlus Marv]

Best to say "I'm fighting Danny Garcia, and I want to unify with Pacquiao (the guy that beat Thurman) next!"

The only name for Spence to say is Crawford. As a 'champ' he should be desperate to definitively claim to be the best WW when there are other belt-holding rivals to conquer.
These guys are all happy being alphabet champs. It's bullshti. Time to unify.

spence knows thurman is only calling him now 'cause he needs him, he lost to manny, no longer a champ or undefeated and also because of the accident. i understand him

[Silver Spear]

Don't real fighters prefer to fight people they dislike than people they like or are neutral about?

Sounds like a duck. Sounds like Spence knows he's finished and is afraid to lose to Keith.

While bfore the crash it was thurman who was ducking Spence. For years. Spence must be finished if he's now ducking the guy who was ducking him.

Or Spence genuinely dislikes Thurman and does not want to see Thurman make money of losing to him.

Spence a diva, he'll stay ducking once there's a healthy Keith around.

Of course the dude calls out Keith when he's 14-0, that's what he's supposed to do. Keith was fighting bigger names and unifying titles, why would he fight a guy who was a nobody at the time?

Now that the fight is realistic he's going to duck it. I think a healthy Keith is his hardest test at WW.

when is keith ever "healthy"?

Pacquiao is a Unification fight, and Pacquiao is a bigger cash cow than Crawford. If no Pacquiao, then Crawford would be best, but first Spence has to deal with DSG! Both Spence and Crawford have one thing in common, they both know that Keith "Once Upon a Time" Thurman is FOS!

I’m with Spence f@$k Keith Thurman...he held the belts hostage for 2 years thinking he was the next mayweather and he wasn’t and now that he’s lost his belt people are suppose to bend over backwards for him...karma’s a b@#$h....f@#k him

I agree 100% phuvk Keef. When the fight was on the table many times he stayed ducking, just like Wilder.... Now he wants 10m from Bud and wants a crack at Spence after losing his belts. Phuvk him..

[factsarenice]

Spence was always a bad style for Thurman and Keith was making better money elsewhere. Unfortunately that's over, Keith doesn't have a belt, doesn't draw and he has clearly lost a step. "Don't duck me son" is done.


That said, Spence is never fighting Crawford. Errol's demands are as ridiculous as Keith's 10 million dollar demand. On top of that Errol is locked into the PBC and Al Haymon is contractually bound to Fox/Showtime. People will point to Wilder vs Fury but that was a massive miscalculation that cost them years of easy heavy weight pay days. That miscalculation isn't likely to happen again unless they feel Spence or Crawford are done and take the chance to cash in.

Prediction....Spence beats Danny and moves up, Crawford moves over and still never gets the chance to face Spence at 147lbs.

Spence chased him long enough and Thurman wanted no parts. Heck no this isn't a duck from Spence.

They need to teach these damn fighters how to talk and how to conduct themselves. These vague answers they give do nothing but frustrate the fans and waste an opportunity to hype up themselves or a certain fight. These fighters get too big inside their heads they feel like they don't owe anybody any answers well guess what, sooner or later the fans won't care about you either. Just ask all these other PBC fighters that looked like ppv stars 4 years ago and now are all fighting for scraps on free TV with little to no popularity. They also didn't promote themselves and were highly inactive, that's what happens no matter how big you thought you pnce were!

What do you mean "I just don't like him"? really? what is that? high school cheerleading team? Just answer these questions you get asked like a man/fighter. This is not the Kardashians! This is fight ralk and this is the hurt business, the gladiator sport, nobody's intetested in that bs.

Who else is that dude going to fight if he beats Garcia if he's not fighting Crawford or even a past prime Thurman? What a crock of shït!

I think "eff him" is pretty clear and not vague at all.
