    Thurman is such a hard sell. He is about conning the public not being great and taking risks. He also has a pretentious nickname that went out the window when he started fighting World level opposition. I would pick Spence, Crawford and Porter(rematch) over him in a heart beat.

    Good enough to make JMM pass on the fight after several times. Robert said JMM told him it was high risk.

    I'd guess he's giving time to build the Spence fight up, before he meets him in the ring.

    He’s gone from being one of my fav fighters to someone just making excuses when the divisions bogeyman turns up,heck even got Porter making excuses.
    Just shows what a game guy Kell Brook was

    Not a big deal he's fought twice in two years and has been injured. He needs to regain his form. Spence is here to stay and will be matched appropriately enough by Haymon to ensure that this showdown happens in 2019.

    Why strike while the iron is hot?

    If Spence can't establish himself as the top guy in the division before 2020, he doesn't deserve a shot at Thurman anyway.....

    I'm not calling him a coward in the context of an everyday civilian. I'm calling him a coward in the context of a welterweight champion who talked a mountain of **** about being the man and erasing dudes' memories with single shots.

    I don't want to see an inactive injured boxer take on a peaking boxer.
