    His the WBA interim champion , Why doesn't WBA just order him and Floyd too fight?

      I don't know. Do you think that is Floyd stopping the WBA from doing that? He has other belts too. None of those mandatories have been enforced either. Does Thurman's take precedence over the others?

        I don't think Thurman is being steered away as much as painstakingly slowly built up

          He'd be a superstar with Arum right now.

            Its clear that he is. Hes been Floyd's mandatory for a while now

            And the real reason is cuz of what Devon Alexander said

              I'm all for the Mayweather is ducking someone. But no need to add a fighter that hasn't even won a major title yet to that list.

              You still have the people who has a ducking list for Floyd

              1. Pacquiao
              2. GGG
              3. Khan

              No need to add Thurman to that list, dude to me is no more threating than Marcos Maidana or Canelo Alvarez.

              And Thurman doesn't need a title to be supported as a Mayweather contender, he just needs a LOYAL fan base, and no not just those on forums.
              He needs the ones that show up like the Maidana, Alvarez and GGG fans.

              even if you hate mayweather and thinks he duckin fighters ggg is still a huge stretch even so
