Thurman has very underrated resume

[KayDub]

People hate him for some reason, but Thurman beat Danny Garcia and Porter, which are also Spence`s the best wins. I don`t remember Thurman ever being top 10 p4p?

Crawford`s claim to fame is beating very shot version of Spence, that was in top 10 p4p for some reason by that time.

Thurman`s only loss is against one of the best boxers in the last 20 years. No shame about that.

He did crack top 10 P4P at one time.

I do agree with you though. Even when it comes to scoring the judges seem to hate him. I didn't think the Garcia fight was close at all. Lots of people thought the Porter fight was closer than I thought as well. I'm still salty that he got scored a 10-8 round vs Josesito, can't think of ANY other fighter getting a 10-8 round like that. For anyone that scored it that way, explain to me how because I don't see it. He controlled over a minute and a half of the round and even started firing back and landing after getting wobbled and not having his legs for a good 30-45 seconds in the middle of the round.

Well according to Iron Dan, Spence was the #1 welterweight in the world when he got the mutha luvin brakes beat off him by Crawford, and Iron Dan, referenced Ring Mag as his source.

What do you mean, “according to me”?

Spence WAS ranked #1 when Crawford beat him. That’s not an opinion that’s a fact.

[Hustle]

Inactivity ruined Thurman's reputation. 2 fights in 5 years is insane. But injuries happen. Now he has the chance to close his career out the right way.

He can fight Spence at 154 in dallas to close the pbc welterweight rivalries.
(Keith, errol, shawn, danny)

If tszyu beats fundora, he can go to Australia and fight tim for a title at 154. Or he can fight fundora if he wins

He can jump to 160 for a one off against Lara or Adames for a title.


Keith still has options to add money and titles. He just gotta fight

No Pac Sometime rematch ?

Spence has a much better resume don't know what you are talking about. He has brook and ugas. Danny Garcia did what at ww?

How is Brook, coming from a terrible loss, a great win?

How is Brook, coming from a terrible loss, a great win?

Brook never lost at 147. He had no chance against ggg. Brook was still the top guy at 147. That was his weight division. Spence was only about-150 against brook. Yes he probably would have been underdog if he fought pre ggg brook but that was priced in. In other words a post ggg brook is still a tough fight even if he's not the same. For comparison spence was -450 agaiant garcia.

Brook who got pummeled by golovkin right before and ugas who lost to barrios.

Real murderers row right there

Ugas beat pac coming off a win over Thurman. Isn't this thread talking about how good Thurman was?

Ugas also should have gotten tbe decision over porter. he was clearly one of the best fighters in the Division.

Brook lost a fight not even in his division. Think you are emphasizing the fact that he lost far more than you are overlooking how good he was at 147.

It wasn't the truth though if he couldn't land a punch on the other guy

[ELPacman]

I think it's underrated, but he honestly did more to put himself in the situation. I don't think it has anything to do with the Pac loss. That fight was rather close even if it didn't really look it to me.

For me, the lack of fighting often and staying out of the game is what really hurt him. Now he's trying this comeback but I think it's too late. Let's disregard Jarvis win. That dude got iced bad in 1rd vs Paro. He was a perfect comeback opponent for Keith and nothing more.

[SUBZER0ED]

Tf does this even mean? Thurman was by no means a moron like broner or stank and he definitely seemed smarter than drunkass spencerina

I think he means that Thurman is actually pretty intelligent, and people hate on him for it. I don't agree with that. Sure, he shows some intellect, but who would actually hate on him for it? Nah, they hate on him for not doing anything for years, yet talking like he's still the man, which he never quite became.
