Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Can Dismantle Khan Just Like Garcia Did

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Khan would be ducking Thurman not to fight for a title that may pressure Mayweather more.

As for Thurman not being a mainstream name; Who was Alexander to the Main Stream, who was Collazo to the Main Stream, Who was Diaz to the Main Stream, who was Molina to the Main Stream and who was Garcia to the Main Stream (outside of beating a faded Morales)? I'll tell you nobody's.

Molina and Diaz were comeback fights. Khan didn't make that much for those fights - they were what they were.

In order to face someone like Thurman, it needs to be worth your while and Thurman doesn't bring anything to the table right now. There's a reason Thurman is fighting on Khan's under cards. Alexander is at least a former two weight champion who has been in with and beaten big names.

It's really not hard to understand.

typical thurman running his mouth off about fighters who are better than him while he hides behind haymon and fights cans

Thurman should be doing what Golovkin's promoter did for him in 2012-2013, where he was fighting often and against everyone they could get him in with. Haymon's not doing Thurman any favors lately. Twice a year and against nobodies isn't helping him land fights, it only gives bigger names excuses to not fight him.

Seriously, make Thurman vs. Maidana/Guerrero/Porter already. All three fights are there to be made and Haymon controls them all.

Oh now I get it. Basically a few post ago you said boxers fight for the money and guys have to bring something to the table. And for Kahn it's ok to fight guys like Diaz and Molina who bring nothing to the table earning wise or who nobody knows about because they are low risk fights. But if it happens to be a guy like Thurman who is really a threat, it has to be worth your while. Now we get it. Oh wait that's the point some of us have already made. That Thurman is a high risk fight for those lining up for a Mayweather or any kind of payday. So they wont fight him and risk losing that payday. So as a young talented fighter who is a dangerous puncher, its hard to find that one fight and opportunity to show your talent. Yeah pretty easy to understand. Finally.

Kahn is an overrated bum praying for a ****ing payday. Didn't do **** to earn a Mayweather shot. He beat a couple bums after he got his ass kicked by Garcia and Peterson. Tell me how a fighter loses twice to top talent then beats a few guys nobody knows about or cares about expects to get a Mayweather shot? If he dominated a TOP rated Welterweight like Thurman that would give Mayweather even more pressure to face him. But beating ****ing Devon Alexander, Collazo, Diaz, Molina? Come on man he's begging for a payday that's all. Low risk fights. Even though he got rocked by Diaz lol.

I hope Maidana doesn't be a little ***** again and fight Thurman this time instead of ducking him. That mf ran as far from Thurman as he could. He really doesn't have a bigger name out there to fight than Thurman at 147 that's realistic. Who else he gone fight after getting his ass whipped by Mayweather?

Thurman is a good fight for any guy trying to make a case for a Mayweather fight. A guy who boxing experts put as high as top 5 or 7 in the division under the likes of Marquez, Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Bradley. Damn good names to be behind. Cant wait till I find out who Thurman faces next.

Maidana and Guerrero have tasted some of that Mayweather money. I doubt they're going to fight Thurman unless they are very heavily compensated.

The Porter fight is possible now that he's lost his title. Perhaps even Alexander.

I never said Thurman wasn't a risk or a good fighter. You clearly don't understand how the business of boxing works. Wait till you see what happens when Thurman starts making a little money, he'll be exactly the same.

And LOL@ you trashing Khan whose resume takes a big steaming fat **** all over Thurman's. Khan is a multiple time world champion who has beaten several world class fighters. He doesn't owe Keith Thurman a damn thing.

Khan is wroth near $40 mil, you really think he gives a **** about 2 million Floyd will offer him? Hardly a big payday.

Khan wants to fight the main man, if it was about big paydays he could stay in the UK and fight bums in Bolton

You are one ****** **** by the way...next time think before u type u mug

Alexander would have been good before the Khan loss. Not so much now. That's probably the best case scenario for Thurman, too.

If Haymon says Maidana and Guerrero have to fight Thurman, they will. That's where it's supposed to be Haymon's job to do right by his fighter.

Alexander would still be the best name on his resume. I'm pretty sure both Maidanda and Guerrero have turned down Thurman already? Could be wrong. Guerrero wouldn't even fight Khan because the payday wasn't high enough.

Thurman will probably end up fighting another lacklustre opponent but the point I've been making is that he has to go in there and blow them out to get people hyped about him.

Golovkin is at least killing everyone he's fighting even if they are **** - and his mainstream popularity is increasing.

C'mon Bro! You sound like you are new to boxing. Porter would be a good name for Thurman, even Paulie M turned him down and that's when he was coming up as a mandatory for Paulie M.

Khan has given people a chance at him from Maidana to Pederson to Garcia, he has taken risks that someone like Bradley would not take, let Thurman build himself up and his chance will come whether against Khan or anyone else.
