    Now tell me why Khan-Thurman can't happen May 3?

    The winner of this fight is technically and automatically in line for the Mayweather-Maidana winner(WBA). Both fighters are with GBP/Haymon so what is keeping this fight from being made?

    Because the loser would suffer badly

    Amir's career gets ended. I have a feeling they're still trying to push Floyd-Amir to cash out on Amir. Amir needs to be put in a credible fight that's highly winnable.

    Keith's rise would hit a major road block after losing to someone like Amir

    The fight itself would be some good ****. Amir could get one timed, but at the same time Keith Thurman is easy to hit and throws wide punches.

      Are these guys trying to fight floyd or not? fighting soft touches won't get you a floyd fight....thats why once floyd saw maidana beat broner, khan was told to get the fook in line again. collazo is decent but a thurman fight makes the future floyd fight legitimate.

            Thurman would take this fight in a heartbeat but Khan wouldn't. Thurman knocks out Khan inside 8 rounds.

                Because Mayweather vs Khan will be next, so Khan has to take a safe fight against a guy like Collazo.

                Thurman is way too risky, and Floyd would not fight Thurman if he wins.

                This is also why Garcia is taking it easy right now. Next two opponents are already planned out.

                  That's only a safe fight on paper....I give Collazo a good chance to beat Khan.

                    Khan has to be real selective because he's vulnerable. I could see him losing to far less of an opponent than Thurman.
