    Maybe because it's a logical fight? Thurman has beat no one, Khn has beat no one and years, and n one at WW. Why wouldn't they fight each other to see who gets to the next step? A porter fight, a Maidana fight...

    Mayweather isn't even on Thurmans radar. Nor is Khan. Khan has the UK name value on his side. That's all.

      Why is there always a double-standard with Khan?
      I don't think Thurman is a big enough ppv attraction yet to interest Floyd in giving him a shot. The reason Maidana got his was cause of that upset win over Broner.

        I think Khan would get knocked by Thurman. Amir should push for a Porter fight, I think he can beat him.

          My sentiments exactly.. Money's only looking to fight names that can churn the largest feasible payout for him.

            As much as I would love to see Mayweather fight both of these guys. He probably isn't unless they become big enough stars in the sport. Mayweather is in a contract with Showtime so his PPV has to sell or he wont be getting those big ass guarantees he has been getting, so on and so forth. I say **** it and he should fight Porter next after Porter beats Kell Brooks.

              Floyd couldn't even crack a million fightin Chino with Khan and Broner on the undercard. Thurman isn't even in consideration as an opponent. Floyd needs all he help he can get from his opponents fan base.

                Umm that's kinda what's going on right now with Thurman, no one wants to fight him cuz he's high risk low reward.

                  Not sure your logic works in this case. Beating no one is how Ortiz, Guerrero and Canelo and Maidana got a floyd fight. Don't see why it should be any different with any of these other guys. But then again, they show a willingness to come in and rip heads off.

                    Because Floyd has a box full of excuses when it comes to fighting the biggest threats. If they ever did fight Thurman would be forced into wearing pillows.

                      I thought most wanted to see Thurman fight Porter, then the winner of that match fight Mayweather.
