    Anyone know the status of his belts/ mandatories? Vargas would be a voluntary, Porter is #1 at WBA, Matthysse vs Kiram could be for a mandatory position. Then you have the Danny G rematch. I can see Thurman finding ways to avoid Spence and Crawford.

    Well... these are his own words (quoted). I'd say everyone read them and judge for yourselves.

    Basically he said that he was ducking Spence in a lot of words. I understand saying he needs a tune up fight, but he acts like he needs like 4 tune ups.

    Thurman is just being too honest.

    Thurman is basically saying he wants to fight Spence but needs to fulfill his mandatory obligations to keep his title and have a tune up fight after injury.

    That’s called ducking. People are asked to step aside all the time for a bigger fight. If Thurman wanted the fight he could easily make it happen without losing his belt.

    Still coming back from injury look what happened to Degale.

    I understand wanting a tune up & will grant Thurman the Porter rematch if it's ordered. That should still leav room for a third fight at years end. That should be Spence.

    I said before that I don’t mind the tune up fight but I mind if he waits until 2019 to fight him

    I get that your role on the board is to be contrarian. So I won’t say that this is completely BS. I’ll just point out last year he was saying he would fight the Brook/Spence winner. Then 2 months after he had his Garcia fight he decided to get elbow surgery for “bone spurs he has had for years” the week of the Brook/Spence fight. Then later he changes his story to he injured his elbow in the Garcia fight. When you tell 2 different stories it is not true. And further, if he injured his elbow in the Garcia fight he would have had surgery earlier. So that is yet another lie. The truth is the original story, that he doesn’t want to admit he had elective surgery timed specifically because he is out of excuses. So now he invents new excuses. He’s planning the tune up, then the mandatory then Garcia. Only one of these is necessary and that is only *if* his mandatory is made. 3 fights he has planned and none are legitimately currently necessary or wanted.

    So we have him caught in lies, it can’t be denied because he said 2 completely different things so it must be a lie. And planning 3 unnecessary and unwanted fights. Defend it all you like, everyone sees the truth. Errol is “The Truth”. No Smoke and you can’t avoid The Truth forever
