    Years ago Thurman woulda beaten Spence and Bud

    5 years ago he wouldve been number 1 at Welter. However something happened to Thurman in the last 3 years. Injury, really long layoffs between fights took away his prime and he just isnt the same fighter that I thought would take over welter after Pac Floyd era. He seems to have lost his killer instinct and hunger which is unfortunate because he was ‘that guy who got next’ who everyone was ducking at a certain point.

    If you mean the 2016 2017 version of Thurman against the current versions of Crawford and Spence then I think he'd give both a great fight but would lose to both, but if you took that 2016 of all of them and let them fight each others at 147, then Thurman should be favored. Too bad Thurman's injuries practically cut his career short, there were a lot of great fights we could've seen from him.

      ...Spence and Crawford! Absolutely!

      Yes I do remember One Time before all the Injuries and at his Best, he was a KILLER!




      I still think he is a tough fight for Spence Jr and Crawford right now though

        I don't think so man errol would of always been an issue for him one time don't like body shots, he's been almost stopped to the body 3 times in his career lol errol is prolly one of the best body puncher's in recent memory...

          After everything I seen recently

          I’d say Terence and Errol are about level with Keef

          With Terence being the most gifted

            Nah. Spencer's body shots against Garcia were atrocious/non-existant.

              Crawford skills with Keef personality would be a huge star

                  Keith may no longer return to his physical peak form but he’s alot smarter now than before plus experience also adds up.

                  Let’s see how he looks like when he returns to the ring

                    Even now i favor thurman over spence or crawford and thurman is a much more battle tested fighter.
