Are we being to harsh on Thurman?

[powerpuncher]

No

[Ron Swanson]

No

Right, first people incorrectly give him the benefit of the doubt saying "injury". He wasn't injured, he had elective surgery on bone spurs. It's a condition, not an injury.

And it has about a 4-6 week healing time. in fact the great majority of normal people feel fine after just a couple days. When I had bone spurs removed I took exactly 0 days off work. Yes, I am not a professional athlete but bone spurs is so f'n nothing I can't believe people are still talking about it.

For him to need a "get back year" ummm, what was last year?

He deserves far more negativity than he is getting

Fair enough.

Now all of a sudden Porter is injured and only wants to wait around for Thurman..what's his excuse?

Is everyone waiting/hoping for Spence to get beaten by Crawford or something?

Fuck Porter, he's a contender, a challenger, he's not a champion. He doesn't get to call the shots. Thurman is supposed to be a Champion, and he hasn't defended in how long. He's not the only one, unfortunately nowadays it's the norm . If he's injured fine, he should get stripped, 2 guys fight for the title, and as soon as he's back, he gets to fight for the belt on at least a 50/50 split.
some people get injured, but that can't be allowed to hold the whole division at ransom.

All of the welters are running scared from Spence. The same will happen with Crawford. Thurman did beat Porter and Garcia but that he hasn’t done anything since those fights. Sure, maybe he will prove me wrong and fight and beat Spence, but for now, he is not the top guy in the division anymore.

[Spicoli]

Clearly it the bigger picture and fan anticipation he is being lapped by Spence right now, regardless of the excuses. He needs to pull Uncle Haymon aside and demand to run with the pack, not just watch from the safety of his backyard. Another win over Porter does zippo for him except satisfy the sanctioning bodies and Haymon.

Thurman is being unfair to Thurman.

To expand on this, the whole division deserves hell. Except Spence because he just goes down the list want to fight, no, okay, do you want to fight, no, okay. Even Crawford, we have no reason to doubt him up to this point but after he picks up his belt if he looks at Jessie Vargas or someone of the ilk he will deserve to be questioned too. Until anyone gets in the ring with Spence they deserve to be questioned. This division has been hell since MayPac took it over. Same problem all these years,,,,, just fight!
