Keith "Double Standards" Thurman

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Aren't they all right about now?

Yep but he acts like he has some control or power. Saying he'll come to England to fight Brook etc. No he won't cos Haymon won't allow it.

[PivotandRoll]

Because it's pointless? Thurman beat him fairly easily first time.

Yeah that's just not true. Chavez was winning the fight although momentum had shifted .

[PivotandRoll]

Why are people acting like if Khan, Brook or Mayweather offered him the fight that he wouldn't sign on the dotted line immediately?

The guys he is fighting are the only people who will agree to fight him. The rest don't want to face the power, they want safe winnable fights.

Also Matthysse isn't moving up, and if he did he wouldn't be fighting Thurman, I wouldn't pick him to win either. Thurman would take that Matthysse fight too, he has been steady calling out Maidana to no avail. Chaves is signed with Top Rank now so a rematch of that bout isn't do-able and let's not forget Thurman bodied him.

Give Thurman credit where it's due, he's not your typical Haymon fighter who bows to Al and doesn't ask for the big fights.

You say all this based on what? What Thurman says? Why should we believe him over the other fighters?

Brook has been calling out Manny Pacquiao since 2010, so I guess no one can criticise him?

I understand you can't fight a killer every time but to suggest Thurman is the only guy with no options is crazy.

Guerrero was a good fight. We'd never seen Thurman in the ring with that caliber opponent.

Collazo is a garbage fight, and people need to call it out as such. It's horrible.

[MDPopescu]

Thurman is only 26, doe... and he's PBC, doe... Thurman will enjoy a long quiet career as long as Haymon rulz. That's how it goes.

Forget what Thurman says, and tell me who is calling him out? only Alexander and Collazo. Brook has said his name, but Eddie Hearn calls the shots and has matched him against Gavin.

I don't like the Collazo fight at all, you can guarantee Thurman doesn't like it much either but he is fighting three times this year, not two, so hopefully he can get a better fight in the Autumn.

[bojangles1987]

Alexander would have been a much better opponent. MUCH better. Berto would have been better.

Collazo is shot and has done nothing recently besides beat whatever the hell was left of Victor Ortiz.

Granted, but people are acting like Thurman turned those fights down and chose to fight someone else. If that's true, then they should show some evidence to support it.

[John Locke]

Yeah that's just not true. Chavez was winning the fight although momentum had shifted .

Chaves wasn't winning the fight, he was down on all 3 scorecards, I had him 2/3 points down as well. He started well but Thurman wore him down.

Chaves is with TR so a rematch is unrealistic as well as unnecessary. Chaves vs Sadam Ali looks likely to happen. That's a great fight.

[John Locke]

Would Haymon throw Alexander in there with Thurman with Alexander coming off a one-sided loss? Two back to back defeats would be a massive setback for Dev.
