Does Thurman aka "YOU BETTER NOT DUCK ME SON" get a pass for avoiding Jesse Vargas?

Never understood why anyone ever thought Vargas was truly the goods. Being a top ten welterweight is his ceiling IMO.

And as for Thurman, he seems to be really rattles by this injury. If he beats his tune up opponent easily and without pain I'm sure his confidence will return. He just doesn't want to do a James Degale.

 

Talks all tough to little feather fisted Paulie

Pretentious inaccurate nick name

Gift vs Porter

Avoids Vargas and Spence

No more than 4th best WW yet gets put on P4P lists

NOT A FAN!

 

I wouldn’t begrudge him not taking Vargas after the injury and long lay off he has had except for the fact that he called Jessie a tune up fight, and also this talk from him of this whole ****ing year being a get back year.

 

I liked him before all this rubbish, have lost interest now though.

I hate fighters that talk up big fights and then chicken out

Would be nice to see him and spence battle it out but I doubt that ever happens now

 

Vargas is not better than Garcia or Porter so I don't think he's avoiding Vargas, no reason for...

 

no gift against Porter, he won that fight IMO, it was close but had either fighter won it I wouldnt have argued therefore couldnt have been a gift, thats nonesense.

Does look like he wants nothing to do with Spence, he was also like this with Brook before hand, I have also seen interviews with him where he says he thinks that Khan would outbox him. He would spark Khan clean out I would assume but I dont think he believes/believed he can beat Spence or would beat Brook

 

yes thurman should get a pass. get ur tune up or soft touch wat ever u call it n move on. cuz vargas isnt a easy fight. guys are underating vargas. i believe hes pretty dam good fighter who always keeps getting better.

now if were talkin samuel vargas then thats a duck. i think he should fight samuel vargas.

 

Boxing fans are ungrateful af.

Thurman has been putting in work for the last couple years knocking off top 10 fighters fight after fight. He just unified the titles. Got injured during the fight. Then got married and took a vacation. Now ya'll him to jump into a tough fight straight off the bat. Its ridiculous.

Spence wants him? Great. Let Spence put in his work for the year while the CHAMP has his warm up fights. The fight builds. We see them knocking out a few mfs int he mean time. In a years time or less well fight the fight we all want. Sounds good to me.

 

Thurman was injured he gets a tune up no questions asked. But after as champ he needs to fight his mando/ unify not all organizations put unifications before mandos

 

Thurman really hasn't had a very easy schedule period.
Since 2011 he was really fighting high risk no reward
fighters back to back. Even when he made it, it was
all higher level guys. I don't think he's concerned with
anyone, for some reason I think he's concerned his injury
may have affected his ability to perform and he's paranoid
about it.

The heat Thurman has been getting from fans lately is stupid. Homeboy has fought Garcia & Porter back to back and now cause Spence has been looking good and calling him out he is expected to fight him immediately. I find it amusing that a lot of the fans who gave GGG crap (and I was one of them) for calling out the top guys a few years ago are now banging the drum for Spence and calling Thurman a ducker.

 

He said he wanted a soft touch and then a top 7.
