    why are we not getting Alexander vs Thurman?

    Seems Khan and Guerrero are gonna be fighting this fall, leaving Thurman and Alexander as an obvious fight. What's the damn hold up in getting Thurman a decent opponent? There was a video of Alexander saying he would fight Thurman just recently and I believe he would, he's fought a lot of good fighters already. Let's go Haymon, give the people what they want and get Thurman a Crack at a top 7-10 guy already!!!!

    Well realistically, Devon "The great" can't take any more losses, or that "The Great" part goes out the window quickly.

    If there's a hold up, it would be because Haymon doesn't want to sacrifice Devon.

    Don't be surprised to see Devon fight someone easier.

      I dont think Team Alexander "Kevin Cunningham" would have this fight over a bigger name. Its only when you cant get the bigger names that you go for the lesser known names.

        He's not getting any one bigger then thurman. Already had bradley, matthysee, maidana, porter. Who's bigger then thurman that he's realistically gonna get now?? He just fought SK for christ sake.

          Thurman also says he'd like to fight Alexander.

          If this fight doesn't happen, it's because of Haymon.

                I think this fight is going to happen. It takes time to make fights.

                    Yep agree with you but am sure they don't see it that way.. They would wait it out.
