This was a fight to scheduled for April this year, but got changed to Crawford/Spence in July. However, after last week, I think this fight should be next. Spence should forget about the Crawford rematch & Thurman should forget about fighting... Claressa Shields (LOL). At this stage, this is a 50/50 fight - with both men clearly past their best. Who you got? I still think Spence would win, but I'm not confident like I was before.
Im picking Spence at 154. Thurman is too inactive. In reality they probably should both retire at this point.
Spence has no problem with the part-time wannabe boxer. If Thurman actually took his profession seriously, he might have a chance against the beaten down Spence but that isn't the case.
Hard to know how much Spence has left after that beating from Crawford but I still think Spence beats Thurman since Thurman has been too inactive.
Thurman showed that he's still pretty good. Both Thurman and Spence are no longer the same fighters as they used to be and it's been way overdue for these guys to fight. I wouldn't mind seeing this happen later this year while they're both still active.
Yeah - I think this is a compelling fight for both men at this point. There was a long period where Spence was heavily favoured - but now, with both having been inactive but Thurman coming back well, it could be a really good compelling matchup. To be honest I would fancy Thurman at this point.
Zero interest in the fight. Spence aint fought in 2 years and Thurman has 1 win over a journeyman in past 3 years. IDGAF what either guy does or if they ever fight again. They let Al Haymon ruin their careers with YEARS of inactivity throughout their ENTIRE career. And then when they finally DID fight it was never the opponent people wanted. PBC likes showcase fights every fight and only does in-house stuff (hell even the evil TR allows out-of-house fights). Legit only like 1% of PBC fighters have good resumes...Benavidez...and thats about it.
Thurman would win at this point. I'm positive that he has more left in the tank between the two. Spence would have won prime-for-prime. Keith knew it, which is why he shamelessly ducked Spence when both were in their primes.
Thurman is more fossilized ,but rigor Mortis has already set in with Spence . Still make Spence ,,,I hate to say it,,the favorite?
About 5 years past its due date, but would still like to see it. Spence would've been a clear favourite at any point between 2017-2023, It's probably 50/50 right now.
5 years past it's due date?? No, more like 8-10 years past it's due date. It should have happened in 2016 or 2017.
