Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman: I'd Fight Khan, Bradley or Brook Next

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Stop talking in the press and make your manager get you Bradley and Brook will have to fight you.

I like one time, but I can't stand these Haymon guys saying I want him and this, tell that to your man and make the fight happen instead of talking shi.t you know won't happen.

What makes you think he's not gonna talk to his manager about getting those fights made? Heck, he even said he might give Hayman a call this week so at least just wait and see. You're jumping in way too fast there.

I feel you bro. Haymon fighters love to drop names. Santa Clauz, Quillin, Broner, Stevenson, Thurman, you name it. They know full well that Haymon decides for them. Instead of asking their daddy Haymon to do the fight for them, they just drop names in front of the media.

The media is not calling them out with their BS, "So have you asked your daddy to make those fights for you, son?"

Always reminds me of SHO Jim Gray's post-fight interviews with Santa Clauz. Grey, with exasperated tone in his voice asks Santa Clauz why he keeps fighting noncompetitive matches. Santa Clauz's usual response, "I want Rigo, Frampton, etc." "Well, tell your management to do those fights for you, will ya?" Grey ended.

Make it happen al

Brook vs Thurman is the more attractive one to make for Haymon. It's a title fight against a UK fighter. Thurman has more chances of winning. No one would object to it.

[nacho daddy]

It's gonna be either Porter, Maidana or Alexander.

I'm surprised he mentioned Berto, they're close friends and he already knocked Berto out in sparring. It would be a **** fight and not even remotely competitive.

yes Thurman will continue to fight older slower guys

You're Khan love/Brook hate is getting sad, he is all you talk about.

Haymon will not send his top asset to the UK, he won't even consider it. Haymons's all about getting everything in his fighters favour, going to a foreign country is quite the opposite.

Khan and Thurman are both Haymon fighters, how is that not the easiest option?

It's a very simple question to ask. "Have you requested Haymon to do those fights for you? What did he say? Which fight is he inclined to make?"

This is a very passive media. Everyone gets away with their nonsense.

Make it happen al

Thurmann will be built up slowly

I think he will move on to fighting the likes of Devon, Maidana, Porter maybe even Alegri

After which he will be pitted against the more established boxers in his roaster, such as Khan

Khan vs Thurmann is a fight that needs to happen by next year

Hern isnt lettin Brook go anywhere near Thurmann, not for the next 3 years, trust me

I would love to see Thurman vs Khan. But would Haymon do it? I don't think so. Khan is a risky fight for his boy. Again, I really hope Khan vs Thurman would get made, but I think Haymon would go for Brook, that is if he's interested. Ball is in Brook's court.

Built up slowly? He's been fighting the same caliber of fighters for the last 2-3 years. How much slower can they get. Either he's ready to fight top fighters in his weight class now or he'll never be. There is nothing more he needs to learn to fight Khan or Brook. People act like Thurman is a 21 year old prospect. He turns 27 in a few weeks. He had a long amateur career and 25 pro fights. He's more then ready for big fights.
