why are we not getting Alexander vs Thurman?

I'm not wasting any more time with this One Time guy. It appears that he has no control over his fights. Haymon does. End of story.

So the fighters Thurman calls out are automatically ducks when the fight doesn't happen. But when he's the one that's called out, you blame Haymon. Does that make sense? He has no say? Then why are we even wasting time with this One Time guy? His life depends on Haymon. Lol. He's no different from Leo Santa Cruz. I'm not calling the other fighters ducks, at all. Thurman at the moment has beaten nobody, brings no money to the table and really there is nothing to make a top fighter interested in a fight against him. If he fighrs one of the better guys and loses, he will be branded 'over-rated'... I don't even know if he wants to fight the people he calls out, but he can do it and then blame Haymon if he fights another bum instead.

It's a ranked opponent, that makes it a step up. I think Alexander is completely average and was out boxed by Porter, but it's still a step in the right direction. Thurman can call the name of any fighter, but Haymon is in charge so it's pointless. So the fighters Thurman calls out are automatically ducks when the fight doesn't happen.

I wouldn't say Porter outboxed Alexander so much as he muscled the sh*t out of him in a bar fight. He certainly did that too. Even on the outside though, Porter was getting the better of him. Landing one-two's, hurting him with clean punches...it's the best Porter has looked, which for me says as much about Alexander.

Makes sense, but since Thurman is a Haymon fighter he'll probably be fed a terrible opponent.

That's why people need to stop saying nobody wants Thurman. Alexander does.

People in the media need to do some digging why this fight is not happening. Are we to believe that Thurman has no power at all in making this fight happen?

It sure seems like an obvious and easy fight to make if team Alexander is willing. Why couldn't Golden Boy get a better fight for Garcia? Golden Boy is making some good fights but they could do much better. Is Haymon really working for the many fighters he is supposed to be working for and trying to get them all the best possible fights? It sure doesn't look like it. I never heard of one guy representing such a large number of fighters. If he represents Thurman he sure hasn't done much for him. It seems like Haymon is often keeping good fights from happening.

isn't thurman fighting roberto garcia? I don't think that fight was ever official.

Line em up Thurman will smash any B level fighter

Black fighters don't fight black fighters nowadays

He's not getting any one bigger then thurman. Already had bradley, matthysee, maidana, porter. Who's bigger then thurman that he's realistically gonna get now?? He just fought SK for christ sake. Yep agree with you but am sure they don't see it that way.. They would wait it out.

isn't thurman fighting roberto garcia?

I think this fight is going to happen. It takes time to make fights.

Nobody wants to fight Thurman

Both guys want it, Haymon needs to step up and make it happen.

Thurman also says he'd like to fight Alexander. If this fight doesn't happen, it's because of Haymon.
