Very well said by Keith :salute:
lol @ mentioning his past father son combos



yeah he does that. wont work with craw though.

lundy tried to do that but craw still whooped his ass.

everyone not going to get distracted easily...some people gonna channel that anger and whoop ur ass breh.


lets see if Thurman can do it....he better look out for those body shots and that no look left hook. danny don't have crazy power but its the timing of the punch and the fact u didn't see it.

all jokes aside im ready for this fight shyt could be a classic:salute:....hopefully 2017 boxing needs it badly.:heh:

“Fans have to realize when you sit down with fighter, manager, and father, there’s a lot of financials that take place. There’s probably three times as much money in fighting Amir Khan than fighting Errol Spence and three times an easier fight - and those are things that are discussed with the whole team.”

So would you call this ducking, avoiding, or a business decision when Shook drops his belt to face Khan instead of taking his mandatory vs Spence? :mjpls:



I would like to know for future references:youngsabo:

Thurman wants Errol Spence Jr. match to be mega-fight
PostDateIcon.png
January 19th, 2017 - 2 Comments



spence5-1.jpg


By Dan Ambrose: WBA welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs) says before he faces unbeaten Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) in the future, he wants the fight to be built up by the media to the point where it’s a mega-fight rather than a normal fight.

Thurman points out that Floyd Mayweather Jr. didn’t agree to fight Manny Pacquiao when the boxing public wanted him to. He waited until he was ready to make that fight happen before he finally agreed to do it.

Thurman thinks that the fans and media should keep building up the Spence fight to make it really big. He’ll then fight him. Of course, what Thurman isn’t saying is he might get beaten long before it gets to the point of him fighting Spence. Thurman almost lost his last fight to Shawn Porter, and he may lose his March 4 unification match against WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia. Thurman, 5’7”, might not have the size, the chin or the ability to take body shots to be counted on to hold down his WBA title for any length of time. He’s not another Mayweather. Thurman gets hit, and he gets hurt.


Speaking of Mayweather, he thinks Thurman is ducking Spence, and he doesn’t understand why he doesn’t take the fight with him. Mayweather offered Thurman the Spence fight two years ago, but he didn’t want to face him.

Thurman said this to fighthype.com about his thoughts on a fight against Spence:

“I’m tired of being asked that [expletive] question,” said Thurman. “The way that Floyd is talking about Thurman ducking Spence, four years ago everyone ducked me. Keep talking about it. I’m willing to fight everybody. If that’s a mega-fight, then let it be a mega-fight. I only have one career. Yes, you should build it up. Mayweather built up the Pacquiao fight. You can keep talking about it. We can build it up. I have no problem fighting Errol Spence. If we get through Errol Spence, they’re going to say he wasn’t ready too. So there’s no pro in that. I got mad respect for him. I know he’s young. I know he’s hungry. I know he’s ready. Floyd didn’t fight Pacquiao when people said he should fight Manny Pacquiao. Did Floyd fight Sugar Shane Mosley when people said he should fight Sugar Shane. I would love that fight,” said Thurman.

Thurman seems to be comparing himself to Mayweather, but he doesn’t have that kind of background. Mayweather fought in the Olympics for the U.S and probably should have won a gold medal. Mayweather is a former five division world champion. Thurman never fought in the Olympics, and he’s only won a world title at welterweight. He doesn’t have the same background Mayweather has going for him.

“I wonder why Keith Thurman keeps ducking Errol Spence,” said Mayweather to Fighthype.com. “Everybody is ducking Errol Spence.”

The fact that Thurman was willing to fight guys that were out of his league like Luis Collazo and Robert Guerrero, it suggests to this writer that he’s ducking the Spence fight due to the danger involved. I don’t believe that Thurman is waiting for it to become a mega-fight before he’ll agree to fight Spence. I think he realizes what a loss to Spence can do his boxing career. We saw how easily Spence destroyed Leonard Bundu and Chris Algieri. No one had ever done that to either of these guys. That could have been Thurman being destroyed by Spence.

Once again:


So would you call this ducking, avoiding, or a business decision when Thurman decides to face other fighters instead of fighting Spence? :mjpls:

A belt does nothing in 2016. Spence needs signature wins. And the top cats are not gonna fight him until they have to

true but he got the most views on free tv...it was 6 mill I think....more than danny,broner,porter and Thurman.

all he can do is fight for ibf vacant belt.

he gonna have to build his name with gatekeeper/bums until a big draw take him on.
