    According to BS, Keith is not expecting too fight Jessie... Too risky for a comeback fight?

    Jessie Vargas has proven that he is nobody's comeback opponent. To consider him as a tune up is to grossly underestimate him. It is wise of Keith to pick an easier opponent coming off elbow surgery as he is. Thurman at 100% whoops Vargas any day of the week anyway.

    Hes not a soft touch that's for sure, and with how high his stock rose from Ali beating Cotto :risas3:@Paranoid Android , i can't say I blame him if he doesn't take the fight.

    Thurman thinks he’s the man at 147, he thinks he put in the work that Floyd and Manny did. I used to like Thurman, but like Spence said he ain’t be one time in quite a while it’s been runtime

    I think Thurman should have an easy tuneup fight, esp. after surgery, to test himself, to see if he has healed, then a hard fight.

    I understand wanting a soft touch after surgery/inactivity however if he wants to be the #1 WW in the world through 2018 then he can't be Salka'ing it.

    i think vargas a decent come back fight. mostly cuz he has no power and if keiths elbow fail him maybe he can survive. i maybe underestimating vargas power but i dont think its really there. but the sadam ali makes u wander a little bit.

    he can always take the risky herrera route. u kno herrera is down for that all day that boy will come to compete and close decision u kno he might be able to make it work !
