Yeah because before Haymon fights weren't held up because fighters wanted more money or a bigger split

What grounds to these flabby media nikkas have to say a fighter is getting overpaid?

Because Arum(who takes damn near double of what Haymon does from his fighters) says so?

Money issues preventing fights happened before Haymon and it will happen after. Dudes seem to conveniently forget that every time a nikka steps into the ring it could be his last. They deserve every "overpaid" penny they get word to Prichard Colon.

he'll fight froch at 168 but not ward?

I'm pretty sure you would be if an outsider to your profession told you that you made too much money. So who are we or any of these flabby "journalists" to say they are making too much money.

Especially in a job where their lives/health are at risk.

How can you say he's better than anybody Thurman has faced when he's fought nothing but part time garbagemen in his career which has been the length of a leprechaun

How can I say it? Easy.


Simple question...simple answer, who has Keith Thurman faced in his career that YOU would make the favorite over Errol Spence Jr. in a fight today?


I'll wait

You really think Thurman wanted to fight those other guys? He hinted at basically being forced to fight Collazo. And he fought Bundu because that's the best he could get at the time.

Yes, he wanted to fight them. Breadman already exposed every fighter in the PBC, by telling us exactly how Haymon gets down, and that in fact, every fighter picks their own opponent from the list he brings them or if they propose a different fight, he will try and make it.

Thurman also said this about Bundhu:

“I’m just really happy to be getting back in the ring,” said Thurman, who’ll defend his WBA interim welterweight title. “I’m really happy to showcase my skills and my talent once again. I’m extremely excited to be going up against an undefeated fighter who was an Olympian, who presents a European style.

“We’ve seen the skills that Kell Brook brought to the table when he fought Shawn Porter, and it’s interesting, man. A lot of people in the U.S. don’t know Bundu, but we know that the Europeans can box. And for him to be an Olympian, you heard him [on the conference call], he doesn’t feel 40. Age is just a number to him. His last fight, he fought a young man who was 28 years old [England’s Frankie Gavin] and fought him in his hometown and beat him [by split decision]. He is a smart boxer, an intelligent fighter, and it’s going to be a great fight. Overall, I do put in my head, in the back of my mind, that not only do I want to win, but I would like to out-perform every welterweight that steps in the ring that night.”

Keith Thurman Aims To Make a Statement on Saturday

What were you saying about Olympians not mattering again?

Did your boy just NOT keep mentioning the fact Bundwho? was an Olympian?

So, it's cool for Thurman to fight an undefeated, Olympian, who's 40 years old coming off a struggle SD against bum ass Frankie Gavin who Brook just destroyed in 6 rounds, but an undefeated, Olympian, who's 25 years old coming off an easy KO win over Phil Lo Greco isnt worthy of a fight with Thurman?

Remember when Thurman was calling out everybody and nobody wanted to fight him? He had to work his way up. Yet Spence gets a shortcut to the top because of his potential :onetimeorly:

Again, you cant fight someone like Bundwho or Collazo...and then turn around and say Spence didn't deserve the fight

Spence should be giftwrapped a big fight. Let him work his way up the ladder just like Thurman and everybody else had to

So, you're saying that you carry that same opinion on Beterbiev (who's less experienced than Spence) facing Kovalev (who's much more accomplished than Thurman)?

He's finally getting it



I don't want to hear anything weight related from this nikka

I'm looking forward to one of those cute "1 custom smiley for every line" posts that's so popular in the ring these days as a response, wondering how you could possibly justify this

He defended his Championship against Osumanu Adama in Monaco just last year. So bad of a fight, HBO didn't even attempt to show it. If he would've faced him in Nevada, it would've been cancelled, instead, they had to fight him overseas in front of 900 people, so GGG could pad his record.


GGG was a damn 85-1 favorite in that fight

It's not about who would beat Spence H2H. He's beaten fighters who had better resumes than Spence. shyt, Collazo was passed it and Ghost ain't the greatest, but both have better resumes than Spence. Making them better fighters than Spence. fukk H2H.

I know how Haymon gets down. You really think Thurman wanted Collazo, he was probably the guy on the list that Thurman least wanted, but all his other options were unavailable. The fact that Thurman himself didn't seem too fond about fighting Collazo speaks volumes.

I don't give a fukk about what was said about Bundu. Being an Olympian doesn't guarantee to translate to the next level. And I wasn't extremely fond of the Bundu fight either. But he was still stuck in a position where he couldn't get anybody better so

nikka who the fukk is Phil Lo Greco

Pardon me, but were people demanding Bundu or Collazo to fight Thurman? Yeah I didn't think so

I never said Beterbiev deserved a fight with Kovalev. But he has a better case to fight Kovalev than Spence does with Thurman.

@Newzz i think haymon made keith fight collazo for real though .

 

[Newzz]

I said Spence is better than anyone Thurman has ever faced, and you go to talking resumes breh? Im talking about talent

Floyd Mayweather Jr was better than anyone Genaro Hernandez had ever faced at the time of their fight, but yet his resume wasn't. Resumes don't mean anything when you're discussing who's the better fighter breh....if that's the case, Devon Alexander wouldn't have lost to Aron Martinez, Matthysse to Postol, etc

How could you say something like "Collazo was passed it and Ghost ain't the greatest, but both have better resumes than Spence. Making them better fighters than Spence"????

Like I said, and you know it too, Spence beats EVERYONE Thurman has ever faced

I know how Haymon gets down. You really think Thurman wanted Collazo, he was probably the guy on the list that Thurman least wanted, but all his other options were unavailable. The fact that Thurman himself didn't seem too fond about fighting Collazo speaks volumes.

He picked Collazo. Im not gonna make up an imaginary scenario where Thurman "probably" did anything. You don't know who Haymon brought to him, but we do KNOW he picked washed up Collazo and Bundhu.

I don't give a fukk about what was said about Bundu. Being an Olympian doesn't guarantee to translate to the next level.

I never said that though. I said it raises your prestige and by the fact that Thurman kept bringing it up, it seems I was right about it. Everyone knows that an Olympic pedigree is ALWAYS mentioned and those fighters always get a "bump" in their career vs those who don't make the Olympics.

And I wasn't extremely fond of the Bundu fight either. But he was still stuck in a position where he couldn't get anybody better so

And you know this how?

nikka who the fukk is Phil Lo Greco

Pardon me, but were people demanding Bundu or Collazo to fight Thurman? Yeah I didn't think so

The point is, again, that he fought them ANYWAYS....but then has his stans running around saying "bu-bu-but, Spence doesn't deserve the fight".

If he could pick Bundhu or Collazo as his opponent, he could fight Spence. Bottomline.

I never said Beterbiev deserved a fight with Kovalev. But he has a better case to fight Kovalev than Spence does with Thurman.

Wow....just wow


And we're done on that statement
