Did Keith Thurman duck Devon Alexander?

[Box-Office]

I mean he was hell bent on facing Maidana and Guerrero, so why not Alexander before his loss to Khan?

I'm not surprised though because here we have a guy like Alexander a 2 weight champion (Unified at 140 lbs), who after losing to Bradley fought someone like Lucas Matthysse in a "come back" bout, 10-0 ed Maidana and then took the IBF title from Bailey. All are guys who can lay you out with one shot and are avoided, yet Alexander ran towards not away from them.

I'm not saying Thurman ducked Alexander, but hardly anyone is keen on facing Thurman, yet when someone does shows the interest we don't hear much from Keith.

I get it, Thurman is fighting Robert and that is a great bout in the making, but I'm speaking from when he wasn't lined up to face Guerrero.

No.

Thurman says he made the proper calls and was ignored. And then Alexander landed the Khan fight, which suggests that while Alexander wanted to fight Thurman, Haymon wanted that fight instead.

No. There is an interview with Devon that says contracts were never drafted and it was all preliminary talks but never materialized.

Why would Alexander choose Thurman over Khan?

More money fighting Khan so when that fight materialized Alexander took it.

Thurmans a bum!

[boliodogs]

I don't think he did but only Thurman knows for sure. I think Thurman is a better fighter than Alexander.

Why would Thurman duck Alexander? You have to dig deep and ask yourself that. The best Alexander did not look like someone Thurman can't handle.
