Not sure what all the hate for Keith is around here, but going off of his resume, hes still #1 in the WW division. Wins over porter and Garcia are better than anyone else in the division. Closely followed by Spence, and Crawfords the real deal, but beating Horn doesnt make you #1 or 2. Excited for Thurman to be back in the ring. Hopefully that long @ss layoff doesnt affect him too much.

He does have a good resume, but if you look at Garcia, who went life and death with Peterson? Spence destroyed Peterson. Porter? Brook beat Porter easier than Thurman, and look what Spence did to Brook. Its not the same, I know, but they see it, or they wouldn't have shied away from Spence.

It most definitely helps Lopez having Robert G in his corner! Glad Keef is getting back on some kind of track... just keep it moving Thurman.

A win over Lopez might put Thurman ahead of Victor Ortiz in the WW rankings but the Spence-Garcia winner is clearly the man at welterweight. We have seen Lopez stopped before. That would not show Thurman is the best. We have seen Thurman run away from Spence the way Hurd is running from Charlo right now. Spence is the man at WW and Charlo is the man at JMW and thats the end of it.

I am just ready for 2019 to roll around in this division. Porter has Ugas on March 9 which is a legit match-up of top fighters in the division. Garcia/Adrian Granados in April, also a good fight. Spence has the Garcia tilt, and Crawford hopefully fights someone with a pulse, be it Khan, Egidijus Kavaliauskas, or even Jamal James.
So when Thurman is set for his next fight, he could have some top level waiting on him, no matter how those fights shake out. He has every chance to prove your point.

I was fan, was impressed with his win over Porter, and still hope he can get back to the top for a huge fight with Spence, but.........geez his nickname now should be: "One Time (every two years)"

Anybody who stands in front of Errol Spence Jr. is going to get broken and beat down, BADLY. Anybody from 147 to 160 with average to below average defense.
