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

[Pain~Lucy]

you have a useless welterweight stable safer, so u're telling us they're not man enough to face ONE TIME!

I like Thurman, but I want to see him fight better opponents. He has fought very tough, durable C fighters in Karass, Chaves, Zaveck and Quintana but now I want to see him against solid B fighters. I know he's willing to fight any one, even the elites, but i'd like to see him fight a B fighter. Alexander is a solid B guy, Porter is out there, Malignaggi. Collazo and Lopez may not be B fighters but I would rate them as B- and better than C.

i pretty much agree with most of this except lopez is a softer touch than that list of c fighters you just reeled off. I'd also rate chavez a B- due to his lack of experience at this level but i think him and zaveck wipe the floor with josesito. lopez only got shine for his ortiz win, who is another guy most of these c level guys probably beat at this stage. Thurman-Alexander for me. That fight is exactly what both fighters need right now. Devon can only bounce back taking out a Thurman, while Keith needs Alexander for a win against a top guy.

No lose situation for Thurman. He wins, he automatically becomes top option for Floyd. If he loses, he loses none of his current status at 47.

a loss diminishes thurmans status regardless. what a ****** comment and thought process.

he's in the same boat as Canelo before his loss to Floyd

[Joey_Torreo]

Chaves that he's been wanting the rematch vs thurman

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

lara and Thurman most feared by far

this is disrespectful to guys that actually had trouble getting fights and really were "avoided" fighters. Roberto Garcia just came out on here about a week ago and said he would be more than willing to take on Keith Thurman after his FNF headlining win. Devon Alexander I'm sure would love a chance to undress Keith Thurman's KO ratio as well. Schaefer is full of it and its starting to get downright obvious. Lets take a closer look. He's now offered Guerrero less than his guarantee for a Thurman fight, is trying to line up Collazo against Khan instead of forcing his hand to fight Keith, and is making no mention of Garcia or Diego Chavez calling for Thurman. Joan Guzman is ready for anyone at 47. Its not hard to get Keith fights there are plenty of guys you can put in there with him. He's a good fighter but this just seems like Shaefer is trying to manufacture an avoided image for Keith when it clearly isn't the reality. If you don't want to put Chavez back in because the first win was clear fair enough, throw him in with veteran Roberto Garcia and lets see whats what. Otherwise stop with this "Its hard to find foes for Keith" garbage

Keith Thurman is a Very Solid 147lbs contender!!!! If he is so overrated give him the fight that will expose him then???

ur right. I'll pass the word to Rich (that's what I call him since we're buddies) and we will get that match made. Don't worry I'll make sure you get the credit for the idea and have you compensated. Matter of fact I'm hiring you right now to be a matchmaker for GBP!! Congratulations idiot!!!! Imao

I wanted to see him fight Mayweather in 2015, but I want an experienced Thurman in there with Mayweather, if they can get him 2/3 fights against better names like Khan, Maidana, Berto, Collazo etc then I think he stands a better chance than all those names in a Mayweather fight.
