I tried to look up the date on when this fight will happen, but it was just said as a potential fight in 2023. I am not sure if that is right.
Regarding popularity, Ugas did float his name wider when he fought with PacMan while Thurman on the other hand is already popular to everyone because of his knockout capability and only one loss that soiled his record.
The big question, is Thurman ready? Because a lot of discussions happened if he avoided the chance for Super World Welterweight match against Ugas because of weight issues. But he fought again in February which is a pretty good sign.
I think Keith Thurman wants to fight Errol Spence he said that he wants to fight the winner of the Yordenis Ugas VS Errol Spences fight, so Spence has won the match so I think they would likely make a fight of Keith Thurman VS Errol Spence 1st before dealing with a Thurman VS Yordenis Ugas but likely fans are crying for a Ugas VS Spence fight, but surely Keith Thurman is on Hiatus now, so likely hat 2023 fight for him is more of a speculative fight or rumor,
There was talk, but Danny Garcia has move to154 lbs already, and his father says that he can't make 147 lbs. But they have been calling for a rematch because he didn't think his son lost to Thurman. But then again, it seems that Keith is on a hiatus, yes there is the pandemic, but everyone is trying to get back at boxing and Keith seems to be taking a leave of absence again in boxing. So if he is potentially going back, it might be next year and it could be against Ugas and because that is a good fight in my opinion.
If he wants to fight Keith Thurman he better go back to the 147 lbs weight cut, for the Welterweight division, because if he can not there be a rematch, and likely if Danny Garcia believes he won that fight he will do anything to get that rematch, because I have watched their fight all over and pretty much it is a solid Keith Thurman domination for sure It could be a decision win but all scores pertaining that Keith Thurman really won the fight, there is no doubt about that,
But for me if there could be a rematch between Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia I would also love to watch it, and for Keith Thurman to put a dot on that fight
