You can't fight someone if they wont fight you.

Collazo will push Thurman all the way

[alexguiness]

Thurman is honest.

Collazo offers nothing more than a workout and an payday.

Unlike Khan fans who were trying to make Collazo sound like Hagler when they fought...

I'm glad you mentioned him as I was going to. I thought Thurman - Collazo was a poor match up since it was announced. I don't like Porter Broner because I thing Porter will be weakened. Would love to have seen Thurman - Porter.
But the truth of the matter in the WW division is that the Mayweather / Pacquiao financials means all the top contenders are avoiding each other and hoping to stay undefeated so they can get a big paycheck. No-one wants a piece of Chavez as he is a tricky customer who makes you look bad but having said that Thurman would be too much for him.

Thurman has already knocked Chaves out.

(especially porter who has previously said he wants to fight Thurman).

What? The Porters have actively avoided Keith, it's even on record from Kenny Porter's mouth.

Yeah, I remember Porter's Team saying that fight can wait to materialize. This may of been before Porter won the belt. I think they were planning on both Porter and Thurman being undefeated when they meet in 2016 or 2017 and both would being putting titles on the line.

Yeah it is true...all the other 147 fighters have had fights lined up....And Madaina is still 200lbs

Thruman already knocked out Chavez in the 10th round in 2013
