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

He is now. Thurman's beaten Berto level opponents for a couple years now. He even knocked out a guy who stopped Berto.

I just don't trust Haymon, and he could pick worse than Berto.

I'm hoping Thurman fight another 3 times this year, Berto being one wouldn't overly upset me.

Thurman will fight 2 more times this year. I'm hoping for 2 of Porter, Maidana and Alexander. I'd like Brook too but that fight ain't happening this year.

Last month, WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith 'One Time' Thurman (25-0, 21KOs) headlined the debut edition of "Premier Boxing Champions" at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He faced former multi-division champion Robert 'The Ghost' Guerrero and put in a dominating performance over twelve rounds to win a lopsided decision.

Right now Thurman is looking to return on a televised date in June or July. He is willing to wait around longer - if the right opponent comes along. Thurman says the biggest challenge for him, as usual, is getting a live opponent in the ring. [Click Here To Read More]

That would be awesome. I would pay for him vs Bradley

I think I'd prefer Berto over Alexander, which tells you what I think about Devon atm.

They have been trying to build up Thurman v Porter since last year. That will probably be what's next for Thurman. Though I would LOVE to see Thurman v Brook.

Thurman vs Brook would be an attractive fight for Haymon. He'll make this fight happen in a heartbeat.

Brook needs to step up. Otherwise, he'll be one of the biggest jokes in boxing.

Out of those, I'd like to see him VS Bradley, I think that's an interesting style match up and a big name on his resume. Probably the most unlikely out of the names mentioned though.

Not to mention Thurman just whooped a guy who pounded on Berto as well. Berto is a major step back at this point for Keith "Una Vez" Thurman.

They keep mentioning Bradley, ie, Khan avoiding Bradley, Thurman calling out Bradley... Are these fights easy to make now, considering Haymon doesn't work with Arum fighters? What exactly am I missing?

We all know that Brook Vs Thurman is the easiest fight to make. Why is this not being given attention?

[bigdunny1]

It really don't matter what fighter he says he wants. It's all about whether daddy Haymon will make the fight. Going by Haymon's track history it will probably be a weak fight like Berto even though nobody is asking for that fight. Haymon could easily have Khan fighting Thurman next but instead is making Khan fight Algeri. Could easily had Broner fight Maidana or Mathysee instead had him fight Molina. You see the pattern.
