Here's an idea to make Thurman more marketable for Floyd.

[BUNGALOWS]

I like thurman, but he's at least 2 years from being ready for floyd. They've matched him well, and I hope he continues to improve and progress.

If that's the case, Ortiz, Guerrero, Maidana have about 10 years, and age reversal therapy to be ready for Floyd.

That's why I said they should fight each other. Khan earns his title shot, and Thurman gets the recognition.

That would be ideal for Thurman, but I don't think so for khan,, Thurman would behead him

But, but, but, Thurman's not ready for Floyd.......

meanwhile, GBP is trying everything in their power to make a Khan fight, and not a damn person is using the "he's not ready for Floyd" excuse. They're using the "he's a draw" angle.

Then when I suggest Thurman should fight Khan, so if Thurman wins, he too becomes a draw, they use the "he's not ready angle."

Thurman needs to market himself. He has no core fanbase. American fighters have a hard time marketing themselves because boxing isn't that big anymore. Unless they make damn fools out of themselves like AB.

I see what your saying but Thurman is still growing and learning as a fighter, while khan has been fully developed and has peaked and is now on the downhill

No one's gonna pull off an AB. What Thurman needs is his platform. aka Berto for Ortiz and Guerrero.

Floyd's under card would be the perfect platform to not only whoop the S outta Khan, but also call out Floyd in the post fight interview.

There's a difference between "deserving" the fight, and being ready. Thurman should hone his skills a bit more (and let mayweather age) so that he's at his absolute peak going into the fight. He doesn't want to make the same mistake canelo (and others) made.

I'd buy that if Khan was actually a WW and looked impressive recently like Maidana, but not only did he not even come in at 147, he actually looks WORSE now.....

Everything positive about his game that actually could've posed Floyd problems is GONE. WTF!?

Same mistake? By the time Floyd's really old, he's not gonna fight Thurman....

While I don't necessarily disagree, I seriously doubt Khan would jeopardize his apparent dream of fighting Floyd by fighting Thurman, who would most likely knock him out.
