Years ago Thurman woulda beaten Spence and Bud

[lolpz]

Keith has learned a lot since then and is a much better fighter, he actually has a much better chance at beating them now then he had years ago.

He’d come up short regardless though.

Not really, one time became sometime when he stepped it up. That’s why his KO ratio went downwards. And doesn’t matter which Keef we are talking about but he just cannot take a good bodyshot nor does he have a good poker face when he his hurt after taking one. Those TWO boxers would beat Keef from 2016 till now.

Garcia isn’t a 40 year old WW.

Man, I am sure 42 old Pacquiao is better than Danny.

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.

...he had a "killer instinct" against who?

He literally was almost KTFO by journeyman Josesito Lopez in 2015.

Thurman has had an extraordinary career for someone whose done nothing but beat average competition and avoided the Spence and Crawford of the world

[geevee]

didn't he just challenge Crawford to a fight? didn't Crawford fight washed up Brook instead? and no Thurman did not ask for 10 million.....kinda like Crawford making noise about fighting Porter until Porter said ok.....then suddenly "now is not the time" Porter just called him out on the Spence/Garcia PPV. Watch Crawford wiggle out....again.

He beats Crawford, not Thurman. Crawford is easy to hit.

spence would always beat thurman prob by knockout. thurman is a better version of khan with a better chin(OBV) but spence is too consistent and would break him down with consistent shots. crawford would prob do the same.

[Ochoa780]

Idk that thurman could take Spence at any point. He was in trouble against porter and garcia, I did think people didnt give him enough credit for the pac fight. He was hurt, dropped, busted up and he still went AFTER pac trying to win the fight.

For a guy who has been relatively fragile in and outside the ring he fought his ass off trying to beat pac

[HewJohnson]

Keith is a tougher match for both Spence and Crawford right now than any other WW not named Pacquiao.

Just cause he lost to Pacquiao doesn’t diminish his ability. PAC’s C game is just still better than the current welters.
