No way he beats Crawford but then again I don’t think anyone at welter does, as for the others it’s nip and tuck between them all.

Thurman is one of my favourite fighters, but I tend to agree with the belief that he'd be up against it with Crawford and Spence.

I think Keith is a very skilled fighter in his own right but those two would probably be a little too much.

Spence in particular because Thurman has always seemed to struggled with guys that are good at pressuring him.

Don't see Manny beating him.
Could happen I suppose but it all the stars would have to align.

Thurman v Spence
Thurman v Crawford
Thurman v Porter
Thurman v Pacquiao

For me I think regardless of who he boxes It will be a good fight, Thurman is an entertaining fighter.

I think Errol Spence may beat him.
Possible he can beat Terence Crawford.
Shaun Porter will be a handful for anyone.
Manny Pacquiao shouldn't be too much of a problem at this age.

What say you ?
I'd favor all but Pacquiao to beat him now. Porter vs Thurman would still be close just like it was the 1st time, but I think Shawn would edge it this time.

Crawford shuts out Thurman. Sorry nothing will convince me otherwise

Spence & Crawford both beat him

Thurman beats Porter in a close fight like their previous match

Thurman beats Pac in a competitive match. Probably the best moneymaker for Keith of those four foes.
