That fight would be waaaay to soon for Keith Thurman he hasn't fought anybody really notable to be worth a mention in the same breath as Canelo.
Thurman's sheer punching power is not in question he packs a punch and looks really big for the division but going from Carlos Quintana to a top fighter like Canelo is just way to much of a step up he needs to fight someone like Gabriel Rosado before he even contemplated making such a step up.

And what JMW top fighter canelo fought?...thruman fought quintana but canelo who?..he don't need to fight a top 10 at least once to be considerated top fighter?..

Canelo will never match himself against somebody who can punch if is not a big pay day...

Canelo has a fanbase and that always makes him a player. I'm not saying its right but it is what it is.

Paul Williams and Kirkland can't punch?

Canelo wants to fight the top guys and Thurman is not a top guy yet. Canelo will be fighting guys like Martinez and Cotto if Cotto wins and Canelo can get those fights. The fight would be at 154 because Canelo is a star now and he won't compromise on the weight. Quintana was ranked #15 by the WBC so beating him got Thurman a ranking somewhere in the WBC top 15. If he keeps winning he might get the Canelo fight down the road.

He didn't fight them...look..Kirkland was coming from get koed by the Japanese guy and then from a loss to carlos molina. He was also injured when canelo said he wanted to fight him..the same with williams. He was coming from a career stoper desvastating ko loss to martines and them from a hard beat down from lara...why he didn't chose the ones who beat them...molina and lara will be avoided till they clearly lose two fight or they get old enough to fight canelo..
