    Don't duck me thun... he says

    But ain't nobody ducking this clown, he's fought C grade stiffs and now this dude is the terminator? smh

    He always picks on weak targets too, like Malignaggi.. Why didn't he call out Matthysse? or Provodnikov?

    Matthysse? Currently 140

    Provodnikov? HBO

    Shawn Porter took an alternate route AKA let the hype build up.

    Guerrero/Maidana ducked him as he is seen to be low pay high risk.

      Correct.....

      I really think HBO should put more money into Thurman.
      Kinda like they did berto.

      I think Thurman is going to be the real deal once his time comes.
      Eventually he'll land a good fight

        I don't think Thurman is ducking anybody and I don't think anybody is ducking thurman.

        Maidana got a better offer, making a sweet couple mill facing Mayweather, Porter is fighting the mandatory Brook.

        Thurman himself is still in the learning stages and is probably a couple fights away from a title shot but I wish he was promoted a bit more, his style and power could make him a champ.

          I don't think anybody is ducking this dude. He's getting the right opposition for what GBP/Showtime are willing to pay. Money talks bull**** walks and your not going to get top contenders/champions in the ring for 90 to 100 grand.
