IMO Keith Thurman is the future... The Heir!!!

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

The hype is getting out of hand. I could see him ending up like Broner when he stepped up in the competition. As much as I would like to join the hype train, I'd have to see him first with someone a tad better than Karass and Chaves. The Chaves fight in particular planted the seed of doubt in me. Had Chaves fought more aggressively in that fight he could have brought a lot of problems on One Time.

Everyone is waiting to see Thurman fight against better competition but how can he when they don't want to fight him? Until then, we can't just completely forget about the dude. If he truly has too much hype, then at least ONE of the top guys should prove it.

I hope the Thurman vs. Alexander fight is true and if he does win, people should finally give him the credit he deserves.

Thurman better fight soon or people will start to mistake him for being retired.

"will be unstoppable".



You really can't, actually. There weren't any talks of a potential matchup between the two and when you think about it, a fight with Devon Alexander (a top 10 fighter) is equally risky. If Thurman fought Roberto Garcia, then people would be saying he was ducking Devon. Besides, that match would be pointless anyway, as it wouldn't do anything for their careers.

Guerrero pulled out of the fight and Porter's dad said that there weren't enough money in the fight. I won't say Porter is ducking but Guerrero certainly is and even when he's asked about it, he never sounds like he wants the fight ("Keith Urban? I'm gonna see his concert." *stutters on his "answer" after that*). If nobody is ducking Thurman, then I'm sure a lot of the big names would try to prove it and yet, hardly any of them do. All this does is just add the claim that he's being ducked. If they don't want to do that, then they need to just fight him already. He's already said he's not afraid to let go of his 0. Heck, he's almost daring the other boxers to fight him.

It is not because the other top fighters are avoiding Keith Thurman. Its simply the fact Al Haymon is not putting his name fighters against one another. He hasn't done it all year and he isn't starting with Keith. Keith Thurman even went on twitter and said he wasn't thrilled about fighting a Roberto Garcia. Fight was offered to him and he turned it down. That is a FACT. So if he himself is turning down fights he can't really claim other fighters are ducking him. You could say nobody wants it with Guerrero, Broner, Danny G, etc because Haymon just flat out is not matching any of them with competition.
