Canelo Alvarez vs. Keith Thurman Possible For 2013

I think Canelo vs Thurman would be a good fight. It's too many good 154lbers for Canelo NOT to be fighting good opposition. Common sense to why he would fight Mayweather though....MONEY!!!!

They can't match Thurman with Canelo... 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. Pure comedy! I think the names can be inter-changed and the statement will still be true!

I can see Thurman fighting guys like Maidana, Angulo, and Kirkland as step up fights. If he gets past those than he should be put up for a title fight. However, I really don't understand what people see in him since he is a very sloppy fighter. I think many people in boxing like when a fighter has power and are blinded by it, in a way. Power punchers are good, but it takes more than that to make it to the top. I don't see him getting too far, with power alone. But, let's see what happens. Name me one fighter that has 6 national amature titles and a silver medal at the olympic trials only being a puncher. I am sure as his career unfold we will see that Thurman does what he needs to. Punch, box or a combination of both.

Canelo will never match himself against somebody who can punch if is not a big pay day... do you blame him? he draws crowds why big risk low reward?? you wouldnt do it either so dont hate. all you do is spew hate on the boards man ....

what has thurman done to deserve this fight? I mean Canelo isnt worthy of a fight with May, Martinez or Cotto but atleast he has a belt...

i would love to see this fight and canelo's chin has been suspect and thurman has crazy power it would be a good fight sure would be a good scrap

i would love to see this fight and canelo's chin has been suspect and thurman has crazy power it would be a good fight

would love to see this ASAP.

I think Thurman wrecks the Ginger... it will be an awesome fight though

Canelo is not the onlyone who want to fight the too guys..thruman wants too..every boxer want that..Sure everybody wants the big fights. The difference is Canelo is a world champ and a huge money maker himself and Thurman is not. So guess who will have a better chance to fight those guys first. Hey, maybe Thurman could fight Lara.

HBO force Thurman vs Quintana, HBO have more HBO guys they can force on Thurman .. 147 HBO fighters Robert Guerrero Selcuk Aydin Luis Carlos Abregu Antonin Decaire 154 HBO fighters James Kirkland Serhiy Dzinziruk Gabriel Rosado

Meh. No thank you.

that would require canelo fighting a 154 lber that's not coming off of losses. not happening.

Canelo is an entire tier above Thurman. This fight won't happen.

You guys don't know what you're talking about. Keith is a phenomenal boxer. Did nobody else see how he set that shot up that put Quintana down? That was great boxing. The guy has had over 100 fights in the amateurs, with over 100 wins. He can definitely box.

Not happening anytime soon, I'd imagine. Golden Boy's main goal IMO is Canelo-Cotto next year.

I'd like to see Thurman fight a Delvin next, beat him. Than fight a Kirkland or Angulo. If he were to get a win like that, Canelo-Thurman would be a pretty big fight.

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.

I think they're gonna let that marinate a bit. I think Canelo is getting into big fights now as Thurman is still proving himself though he did beat a good name in Quintana, though quite passed it. This^^^^^^
