No Spence fight in 2017/2018 maybe 2019
Keep in mind this guy started explaining why he didn’t need to fight Errol in 2014
Pathetic

Ridiculous if true
Can't have a lot of confidence in a guy who talks more about impacts of losing than the impact of winning big fights. Someone tell him Matthysse is fighting for exact same wba 147 trinket he is boasting about beating a Porter over and calm all that 'I'm a unified champion' stuff down.
I was a huge fan of Thurman but he better not start ducking everyone
Think Keith was always a bit overrated. He's going to try and hold on to his belts for as long as possible, so I see him avoiding Spence, Crawford, and Porter (rematch) until forced to fight one of them. I feel like those three, along with Kell Brook, would beat Thurman at this point in time.
I'm a big Thurman fan but he better not start ducking people.
The best need to fight the best, lets make these fights happen! Spence is a division monster.
Thurman is happy to stay injured and pray that Spence gets beat.
Spence needs x3 fights in 2018.
He must stay active so he can whip Thurman.
Thurman will quickly lose his place in the division because Spence is already proving he is better and Crawford is coming up in weight. He will be pushed out despite fighting or not.
Spence is his worst nightmare. He'd be facing nonstop bodyshots for twelve rounds or as long as it lasted. No way Thurman keeps Spence off himself for twelve rounds.
Thurman is getting a lot of undue hate here. Thurman has fought and beat the best. As many of you have said he is no Sugar Ray which makes his victories even more impressive. These victories were hard won and no easy feat.
You all want him to take on Spence, Crawford and others in 2018 after injury?
Give the man a chance.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Dunno about that. Until about 3 years ago, he was going through guy's like a dose of salts. But like many, as he's gone up in class, he's looking less invincible.
And he's typical of modern day boxers, it's called the "Floyd effect."
They have a bit of success, and all of a sudden, they fight less, want more dough and talk like they're still causing carnage! They think "well Floyd made $200 mill , so I'm worth more than I'm getting.
To get in those positions, you have to KEEP beating top guys, KEEP fighting and KEEP winning.
Less talk, more do!
Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.
Garcia, he beat Garcia . Anyone boasting to be best 147 should at least be able-willing to face same. He sounds all about self preservation and long game which you can understand. For all the gimmicky one liners Thurman is no dummy but if he thinks Spence or Crawford will be waiting on his 'star' or letter from his Doctor before they shift the division he's assuming way to much.
First, he wasn’t injured, he had an elective surgery. He had a condition yes, an injury no. That’s why he fought with said condition for years, at least until he changed his story about what the surgery was for and when it happened.
Dude said what neededto be done for Spence to get a fight, Spence did it. The week Spence would do so he chose to have surgery delaying another year already and he has projected another year on top of that. Listen to the words, not in 2018, maybe 2019. Not even “I’ll fight him in 2019”. 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 4 years he’s had reasons. Now he adds 2018 before it even comes. That’s 5 years he has denied Spence.
I know you like the guy, but 5 years of reasons why not to fight is absurd. Nobody cares at all about the 2 fights he says he will have in 2018. Nobody wants to see a tuneup, nobody wants to see any Porter fight.(who has his own list of excuses not to fight Spence)
The division is pathetic, taking the cue from the guy supposedly on top Keith No Smoke Thurman. The real top guy would stop No Smoke and he knows it.
