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.
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.
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.
