Comments Thread For: Schaefer: It's Getting Hard To Find Foes For Keith Thurman

[toshmurph]

Never mind lucas, put khan in with Thurman!! A good name for Thurman and the final nail in the coffin in the Mayweather fight for khan! Two birds one stone everyone's happy!!

If Thurman keeps improving he will become GBP's next star. The sky is the limit for him.

Wrong Eddie Eboy Gomez is GBP next super star look him up he's a beast.

Sorry buddy. Eboy is still local.

What a crock of sh.t! What the hell has this guy done that would make anyone afraid of him? Guerrerro would have fought him if Schafer had been willing to pay Guerrerro the minimum guarantee that is listed in his contract. I am sure that Matthysse would have no trouble fighting him, but instead of matching those two, Schafer is putting them in separate matches. Devon Alexander is willing to fight anybody and I am sure would be glad to fight Thurman. I would bet that Amir Khan and Kell Brooks would be willing to face him, but those fights will never be made for different reasons. Schafer is making excuses to match Thurman with another stiff in his next fight.

imo Keith is the best boxer puncher at 147 as far as talent goes. but he still need few fights against the like of Guerrero alexander paulie and porter before he challenges a Floyd. i say get him a fight with paulie to improve his boxing skillz then alexander to test him and then get him porter. after that i wouldnt mind seing him face Floyd but that would still be early i think but with Floyd retiring soon he would hav no choice

Never said he was a star yet. He's coming up just give him some time he has the complete package IMO.

100 percent KO !! i didnt know he had that no wonder why we cant find this dude an opponent lol. So i know guerrero and maidana denied him, but i always thought paulie was up for it if he "proved" himself. dont know what that means in this case

That 100 percent KO record doesn't mean a damn thing. There are plenty of fighters who have gone 20-0 (20 KOs) and 30-0 (30 KOs) until they actually fight a guy with a pulse. Then they are usually exposed. Thurman is no different. Noboby is afraid of him.

[Luilun]

What about Floyd he claims he's the best

[smoothsmg]

that's not accurate. while Thurman is undefeated, he doesn't have all his wins by KO ... 20

I wonder what's next up for Keith. Any potential names thrown out?

Porter perhaps?

**it's been rumored that Thurman/Matthysse were rumored to return on April 26th, but imo Thurman should shoot for May 3rd to get himself on a bigger stage

I would LOVE a Thurman/Malinaggi fight, maybe for the pre-fight talk that would take place more, but its an interesting style matchup.

1:50 mark. This was pretty good.
