Former 2x world champ Keith “One Time” Thurman got personal about his life outside the ring, his big fight with living legend Manny Pacquiao and why the Floyd Mayweather Jr fight didn’t happen. He also discussed why he never fought Errol Spence Jr when he was champion and breaks down the Super Fight between Terence “Bud” Crawford and Errol “The Truth” Spence and much more in this Fightnews.com® exclusive interview.

Keith needs to stop Yacking and start fighting! Tired of his long drawn interviews of a guy who hasn’t fought in like forever
In reality, you make a good point. He spends too much time trying to boost his ego and image on the camera than in the ring. Personally, he has much a hill to climb now to make it to the top. Not the same fighter he once was.
Does one time represent the amount of times he fights every five years?
Maybe he should change it, to Once Upon A Time, he’s got to be done at top level now
This is the fighter that I expected to fight spencer couple years ago
But Thurman failed when lost against Pacquiao
His loss with Pacquiao turn off his career mentally
Actually pa quiso impressed me because I thought Thurman was going to win
Then Spencer tried to use Pac-Man reputation since pacman was old but he got injured then old Pac-Man lost against ugas
But we all know Pac-Man was out of his prime otherwise ugas would not last 3 Roy da against Pac-Man
Another PBC, Al Haymon, wasted talent. They have done more damage to the sport of Boxing than those alphabet ding dongs.
Hearing that guy talk is an absolute crack up. Kinda punchy
Lol, my goodness Thurman tries so hard to be articulate but he’s just a boring dude that sounds fake and I get extremely sleepy just hearing him yap on and on… my attention span just hearing him yap is about 5 seconds!
BORINGGGGGG!
Mr. Keith I fight “One Time” in a lifetime Thurman… many more interesting guys in boxing to interview that are actually relevant
Thurman seems likeable enough but he’s hyperverbal to a degree like few others. Reminds me of B-Hop’s long, droning interviews where he tries too hard to be interesting and say everything like it’s the most important thing we’ve ever heard. As for Jeff Zimmerman’s claim of Thurman likely being a first ballot HOFer, I don’t think wins over Diego Chavez, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, and josesito Lopez and a loss to Pacquiao gets him there. He’s a fine fighter (when he fights, that is) but he needs to do more, IMO.
Shhhhhiiiiiiiit ! He is an old, inactive 34 years old too
This clown should ” hang-em-up” and retire. A fighter who fights once a year simply isn’t a fighter. His ego is too massive and he thinks too highly of himself. Yea, he’s a good fighter but never a great fighter…
I love Thurman and I quite liked the interview but someone should have thought better of interviewing him while he was pinging
– Didn’t watch the interview.
– Thurman needs to start fighting a lot more often…..
Just needs to fight more often ..Thurman is a very good fighter….does not fight often enough… believe that something is untold… unknown…cause this is prize fighting and as the years go by … Thurman is missing out on alot of money….
One time needs to stop the bullishtttt and get in the ring! His best years are passing by! He doesn’t have much time left!
