Spence: I Don't Want Anything To Do With Thurman, He's A Cornball, I Can't Stand Him

Too soon to become a diva for Spence. Whether It’s the “wrong side of the street”, “70/30 split or no fight” talk about Crawford, or thinking that he can decide who the contenders should fight.

Worrisome to think what he’ll become if he beats Pac.

 

Thurman didnt give Spence a shot back when Spence was coming up and now that Spence is at the top and Thurman is not he doesnt want to give keith a shot . It is what it is as long as Spence fights Crawford next im ok with it.

 

every point goes right over your head.... guess not to hard when you live with your head up your butt...

 

Thurman was fighting better comp at the time. Took Danny and Porter while ESjr was beefing w/ Brook and Mikey. ESjr saying this just makes him look like a silly fool and pretender at WW. No Thurman, no TC.... just KT's leftovers

 

I don't know what about this you Spence haters have a problem with.

Spence called out Thurman left and right circa 2015. Thurman acted like he didn't know who Spence was, and like Errol wasn't deserving.

Fast forward 6 years, Spence is a bigger name with the belts, and Thurman is a nobody chasing one final payday.

Spence is telling Thurman that he blew his chance, and he's justified in saying so.

Keith Thurman is not a serious boxer anymore. He's looking for a final cash out, and is going to Spence like a bum begging for change.

 

I've always liked Thurman tbh. His fight vs. Shawn Porter is one of my favourites of all time.

 

100%. Those who claim to be the most objective are often the biggest haters on this forum.

 

in 2015, ESjr had NO pull in a silly 'call out'. His resume at 2015 was still prospect-like at best.

 

I think that energy is better directed at Bob Arum.

“I’m being serious. I turned the whole project of Crawford over to Todd. I washed my hands of it. I’m too emotional about it. “I have long since departed working with Crawford.”

"He's (Crawford) got to promote like [Teofimo] Lopez does. He's got to promote like Shakur [Stevenson] does. Like [Floyd] Mayweather did. Like [Manny] Pacquiao did. If he doesn't, then who the f— needs him? He may be the greatest fighter in the world, but, hey, I ain't going bankrupt promoting him. The question is, 'Do we want to keep him?' I could build a house in Beverly Hills on the money I've lost on him in the last three fights. A beautiful home." - Arum

"Nah," Crawford said. "I feel like I can get the Pacquiao fight somewhere else as well, being that Pacquiao is not with Top Rank right now. Manny picks who he wants to fight. It's not up to Bob Arum or anyone else. He said the same as when Floyd made all his own moves." - Crawford

His own team can't be bothered making negotiations on his behalf, hence why he's fighting the fights that he is. TC has issues internally and every time he gets into negotiations. He thinks he's worth X, Bob thinks he's worth Y and the public think he's worth Z. It was proven again when Arum failed to make the Pacquiao fight, as he said no one would watch it.

Unfortunately, the viewers and gate have proved that TC isn't a huge draw, which is why Arum isn't investing in his fighter. Which sucks, because TC is one hell of a fighter. If TC left Arum I would put $ on the Spence and Pacquiao fights being made...

The only thing Spence has done is told TC what he's worth. And that worth lies somewhere between what Bob Arum & the public values. What TC thinks really doesn't come into the equation, because even his own team won't help him.

 

cornball : an african american male who chooses not to follow the stereotype.
styles make fights,thurman can beat spence.

 

Ok I wasn't up on the term.

 

Thurman seem to be fighting once every 2 years now anyway so who cares.

 

Chavala ass era. Don’t ever try to say these guys could hang with dudes of the past.

 

That's not the definition you idiot.
