Keith Thurman continues to wipe dirt off his proverbial grave.
Long stints of inactivity have pushed him off boxing's mountain top, and as a result, he landed in obscurity. But while some believed that he would remain there for eternity, the former welterweight champ promised to climb his way out of the abyss.
For the most part, Thurman (31-1, 23 KOs) has done just that thanks to his recent third-round stoppage win over Australian contender Brock Jarvis. Like most of the boxing world, former two-division titlist Danny Garcia wanted to see what Thurman had left in the tank.
Before watching him go to work, Garcia was unsure what version of Thurman would show up. But, after dominating Jarvis for his first finish in a decade, Garcia wants to see more.
By and large, Thurman is a man with options. However, the name Jermell Charlo keeps floating around. Although he was once the junior middleweight division's top dog, Garcia believes that the combination of Thurman showing he's far from done and Charlo's absence, makes it a toss-up.
"That's a good fight," Garcia told FightHype.com. "That's an interesting fight for sure. Thurman looked good his last fight, Jermell hasn't been in there in a while. That's a real good fight."
Not only is it a good fight on paper, but also practical. Thurman was hoping his win over Jarvis would lead to a Tim Tszyu showdown but with the former WBO junior middleweight champion opting instead to exercise his rematch clause for Sebastian Fundora, the 36-year-old needs a plan B in the meantime.
As for Charlo, he’s been both out of sight and mind since losing a lopsided 12-round decision to undisputed 168-pound king Canelo Alvarez in September 2023. There's no return date lined up yet, though he's teased fans and promises a return to his old division.
For now, nothing is set in stone. Garcia though, is hoping they can get it on at some point.
"That's such an interesting fight. I'll watch."
