And stop holding up the division. He's wasting everyone's time and clearly doesn't wanna fight anyone good or be active at all. I say he does everyone a favor and retire or vacate. Thoughts?
Hes going to pick a cherry and keep making money.. Then maybe one more big fight.. He really has become a bit a of Diva though.. If he doesnt fight Spence or a decent WW hes dfintely lost the love for the sport and the firs just isnt in him anymore.
I reckon the injuries are a psy op,at least Floyd took a year or two off when he felt like it but these so called injuries are a bit much. I say this as a fan of Thurman but of late he’s shown himself up somewhat in how he wants to fight Porter or Garcia again and not Spence who you know would fight him tomorrow
I remember when he was first getting exposure and he would light people up and then talk a big game after. He was saying stuff like he isn’t scared to lose and only wanting the best fights to prove he’s the best fighter and all that good stuff. And he was backing it up. Then the injuries started happening and I think they are legit. But it’s pretty disappointing how the last few years of his career have went and I don’t necessarily think he’s ducking or faking, but you have to hold injuries against a guy if they are keeping him as inactive as One Time is. When healthy, he’s a really good fighter who isn’t afraid to take risks. We’ve seen him get hurt in the ring and keep coming. He’s got the right amount of talent, heart, and charisma to be a star, but things just haven’t aligned for him yet.
He should get one tune up. Then face the Garcia vs Porter winner, and if he wins, have the showdown with Spence or Crawford. Anything else and he's being a *****. He's turning into Cherry Thurman.
The injuries are legit. He had a car accident, elbow surgery and now an injured hand. Sure as a fan its frustrating but injuries happen. I dont believe hes ducking anyone, not for a second. Im in the minority in saying he should hold off on the Spence fight until Spence gets a little more name rec and hopefully it leads to a bigger money fight. The future of the division is Spence, Crawford and Thurman if he can get healthy. Those three could give us some classic fights. I hope we get to see it as theyre all young and very talented.
