maidana was supposed to get gatti'd by broner, chino was brought to the fight to be broner's trampoline to stardom. he was also brought to the us for the first time to loose vs the next golden boy (at that moment) in victor ortiz. that's fighting your way up to the top. and he didn't have haymon until the broner fight.
Beating up hypejobs shouldn't be enough to earn him a fight with Mayweather, as there are better fighters out there than Broner and Ortiz. If Maidana beat someone like Khan, Alexander, Thurman, Porter, or Brook, THEN he'd be fighting his way to the top.
What do you think Thurman has been doing all these years? Winning fights. So he has fought his way to the spotlight. He's earned his shot at the big names already.
Also, you got no business talking about "fighting your way to the top" when Maidana got a Mayweather fight just for beating an overrated blown-up lightweight.

Nukka please, to this day Maidana still doesnt know who the fuck thurman is lol.
Who is Maidana?
The guy who lost to Floyd (2x) lost to Amir Khan, couldn't win a rd against Alexander, lost to kotelnik hmm!! Who has lost his every major fight?
Whose claim for fame is a beating a lightweight in Broner?
right!
Really like Thurman but feel like his talent is getting wasted in all that Haymon nonsense
I posted a radio interview yesterday in some nonsense "Thurman is ducking Alexander" thread where he said not only has he not been approached about an Alexander fight, but when he called Haymon to ask about making the fight, no one called him back.
F*cking bullsh*t to squander this guy career like this.
It looks like Thurman will fight another C level guy this year and step up the opposition next year. He's guaranteed to get a shot at that WBC title sometime next year with Floyd retiring, Maidana is ranked #2 atm.
I don't understand why this kid get so much hate..he one of the only haymon fighter that wants the hard matches and wants to test himself doesn't care if he lose that 0
