    Thurman has been off for nearly 3 years there is no way he'd be prepared for Bud without a tune-up.

    I want Bud vs Ennis.

    That would be the fight to make. I think it would be a classic.

    I say let Thurman fights Ennis. The winner gets Crawford.

    Don’t think Thurman will fight Ennis.

    I would like to see that fight but Thurman is too delusional about his drawing power and talks like he is the A side to any fighter despite his inactivity, shoddy resume and getting it put on him by a very passed prime Pacquiao. He will say some BS about Ennis being a nobody.

    I like Kief Thoyman, and i think he can give a good fight even after having such a long layoff, but i dont think he can beat Crawford rn. Id love to see it though.

    To be honest. I don't think Thurman fights anybody. If a big payday presented itself he would but I don't think that will happen.

    Thurman needs to get off his ass and earn that Summer shot then. Go beat a live body.

    I will give Bud 0 credit for that fight.

    Too risky. Even with the experience gap, that's a 50/50 fight.

    I thought Thurman beat Manny, landed more power punches and punches overall. He was only disadvantaged by a single knockdown (in which he got up quickly enough). That said, he was shot and injured even in that fight, and inactivity won't help him — I don't favour him against Crawford at this point.

    No, and it's the only fight that has mattered at 147 for 2 years now.
