    I agree ,hes not the great action fighter with a punch.He mostly runs from action. Maybe sportswriters don't like his very poor personality,REALLY doesn't have one cept me,m,me,me

    I dont really like the tearing down of Thurman I have been seeing in an effort to big up Spence

    Thurman has fought his share of good fighters and is a top fighter and good belt holder

    I think Spence is going to win when/if they fight but its unnecessary the amount of **** he takes when you consider he has a top flight list of opponents and was legitimately injured

    And this is why I find putting Spence #5 p4p is an absolute joke! After beating lil Mikey? Take away Brook and Mikey and Spences resume his horrific!

    Crawford seems way ahead p4p. I’m a bit unsure about Spence because he was evens with Brooke’s and I rate Brooke’s just above Thurman but not much more. Their performance vs a common opponent in porter shows how good they are compared to each other.

    Why does being undefeated matter?

    Little bit different but is Thurman still the same fighter that beat Porter and Garcia? Keith's had a 2 year layoff and didn't really shine in his last fight either.

    It matters, but nowhere close to the degree that Floyd and his legion of ball washers make it out to be. It's a great stat.

    I've always liked Keith Thurman. He's an exciting fighter.

    Looks like we're getting Thurman-Pac and Spence-Porter this summer. Not too bad.

    Why the hell did Crawford sign with Top Rank/ESPN?

    Again, why does it matter? What does it add?

    Inactivity took him off the list not performance. Are you new to boxing? He was on P4P list for years when he was active.
