Since Chavez was the #1 Contender for Broner's WBA strap, does Thurman leapfrog Maidana or does he fight Maidana in order to get to Broner question free? He's also the the #1 contender for Bradley's WBO strap; provided Bradley beats JMM. Other possible fights include; but are not limited to:
Abregu
Brook
Ortiz
Guerrero
Mosley
Two more quality wins and he might get a lottery ticket.
Any news about Broner's response on Thurman's challenge?
Stop, you already know when they ask Broner about Thurman he's going to give one of those "I don't know who he is or it depends on Al Haymon n Golden Boy," replies
In fairness to Broner Maidana is good title defense but someone like Keith Thurman shouldn't have to wait for years in the trenches for a shot at an alphabet title
Lots of good fights out there for Thurman if he's prepared to take a real risk with his 0.
He put it out many times that he doesn't care about his 0. Just wants to fight the best but Haymon will say otherwise i'm sure. Thurman is good for boxing right now, i fear he's gonna be avaoided more than Winky Wright tho
He should fight the winner of Alexander and khan so he can get the belt. He can't get that from his last bout obviously but if he beats/KO Robert Guerrero, the better.

how the hell was it a better victory??? seriously stop it
I've never seen a fighter get so much praise from a KO loss before in my life, it must be because they had never seen him fight before and he was better than they expected.
I thought Chaves looked OK, but there's people here now who think he is a better win than Karras, Paulie, Lopez etc. And that he beats Broner, maidana etc easily. Its bizarre.
Chaves hasn't beaten anybody and lost his first big fight, lets wait and see how he does next time out vs a good fighter
i never thought chaves was any good. i think thurman is a good fighter, but the chabes fight wasnt as impressive for him as a few of his others.
I had only seen chavez on youtube clips,,, Wasnt that impressed with him on those clips,, but on showtime he looked tough,, not a world beater, but he came on strong early,, i thought thurman was getting bullied at his own game, after 2 rounds i thought thurman doesnt want none of this guy, but thurman changed up his style, and pulled out a great win,,
many young fighters wouldnt have been able to make those adjustments like thurman did,,
Dulorme would have been beaten by chavez that night,, thurman just made the right adjustments,,
Not trying to say chavez is a world beater, but def came to fight, and gave thurman good work..
Thurman should either get Broner or Maidana. Maidana doesn't deserve a title shot just because he beat Soto Karass and Josesito Lopez. Diego Chaves was a way better victory. I'll go on to say that if Chaves had a better trainer, and top notch conditioning coach he could be a problem in his own right. Thurman deserves Broner, Maidana, the Ghost, or Soto Karass

Understandable, but his level of competition has risen greatly over the past year...
Thurman was a guy that everybody called a bum last year and said he doesnt deserve to be on HBO,,,
Each fight he has gotten better, and level of competition has gotten better,,
Quintana has made a career of beating hyped guys like williams, julio, lattimore..
Zaveck has been in title fights, and is very experienced,
Chavez was unkown to most, but the kid can fight and punch,,, i wouldnt consider him a tomato can,,,
But thats just my opinion

I'm not sold on Thurman until he fights a somebody fighting Tomato cans means nothing
