What's the deal on his next fight? Any news on it? He's living up to his nickname, but only fighting "one time" a year! Reckon he's saving himself for the Mayweather sweepstakes?
Elbow injury turned out to be worse than expected. Hes only just gotten back in the gym now, so I'm guessing March/April before hes back in the ring.
I swear like one day after the Brook/Spence fight was when he came out with that injury. The timing was too perfect.
Thurman is one of the most overrated fighters in boxing, its laughable that some have him in their top 10 p4p.. He lost to Porter, and his power vanished as soon as he stepped up in levels. Spence and Crawford beat him easily, Porter would beat him again, him and Horn would be 50/50. And theres some killer up and coming Eastern Euro prospects at 147 that would give him a beating too.
He was interviewed during the Alexander fight and he makes it seem like the entire world is holding it's breath waiting for his return. Hinted that he won't fight Spence until 2019 so we should all be patient and just wait. Starting to not like this guy and as far as I am concerned he has a lot to prove
This injury has been around since his last fight. I highly doubt he's deliberately keeping himself out if boxing and deliberately avoiding 7 figure pay days
