Why doesn't Keith Thurman just retire?

Keyboard warriors....

 

He gets only ONE gimme because of the injury. I know what he said about the level of comp he'll face, but we can only go one fight at a time.

So, go ahead face your easy 'return from injury' fight. But after that, unification, consensus top 1-2 guy, or drop the belt..

 

I don't think he should retire but if he still has belts they need to strip them until he comes back

 

When will he be stripped of his belts?

 

Niggles means injuries.

 

I think Thurman should have a couple easy fights to get the rust off and test his injury, then he should fight a tough fight. I think it's time for Spence to fight Porter next, that will test him like he has never been tested................I think Porter would beat him................

 

spence would rearrange porters vital organs. porter likes to maul guys with his b level inside game, spence is the bigger, stronger, A level version of what porter tries to do. easy money.
thurman will never again have what it takes to beat spence, hes got too much to lose now.

 

His injuries while I believe genuine doesn't mean he can't just sit on the titles forever until he recovers. It's been over a year since his last fight. I say after 18 months if he hasn't fought then he needs to be stripped and be made champion emeritus like Vitali was when he retired due to injury.

That way when he returns he gets first crack at his titles so he can't be ducked by whoever has his belts and he isn't forced to work his way back into a mandatory to force a title shot. That seems the fairest option, the division isn't held hostage by his injuries and he gets a guaranteed chance to earn all his belts back.

 

And whats that?

 

It’s part of the sport but he needs to be back within the next 6 months or he’s gonna just be irrelevant

 

He's dropped the WBC belt

 

Stop being a winy beach. The man got injured. Keith never seemed scared of anyone his whole career. Now all of a sudden, mugs like you go mental at him for getting injured and want to make out he's lying and affraid of boxing. STFU with that BS.

 

Blatantly obviously he wants zero part of Spence

 

You guys are funny
