    Calm down man. No need to get emotional, I get that you like Thurman and I like him too, I just translated his last fight into words. I want him to be better as he does a lot of good things in the ring, that I like, but I won't be a fanboy and pretend as if he had no weaknesses... and I'm adressing his weaknesses... Why don't you rather tell me which of the things I mentioned as his weaknesses aren't true? There was a serbian cruiserweight that retired with 33-0 record, I think, but I honestly doubt that he would ever be able to survive the first 3 or 4 rounds against Usyk :) Also, The Herbew Hammer Cletus Seldin has a very good record of 23-1, with 19 knockouts, but have you seen his fights? I'm not talking about the fighters records, nor their belts, Thurman hasn't fought an A level fighter yet so it wasn't impossible for him to get the belt and keep his record perfect. Garcia and Porter are B level fighters.

    Do you really believe it? If anything, up till now he was the one hidding from Spence, so him doing it to lure a big fight sounds unbelieveable to me. Just my opinion.

    I completely agree with you. It's not hating, you are just talking from the observing point and expressing your concerns instead of getting emotional. As you are saying, it's logical to wonder about how would he react to the pressure of a top level fighter, if he wasn't able to take Lopez' pressure so well.

    Thank you man! I'm a fan of the podcast myself. It just bothers me that I sound terrible and can't fully express myself during the live conversations in english language, LOL, but I'm slowly getting better at it.

    Thurman currently has the best resume is divison but I would back Crawford and Spence against him.

    I meant the big fight with Manny.......

    Yes it's obvious all the PBC guys are avoiding Errol, he had to face a former featherweight to have a big fight.

    People still talk about Thurman, but where the hell is he now?
