    I think it's fair to say that Floyd has earned the right to pick his opponents at this stage of his career. He's achieved all he needs to, so he can fight Matthew Hatton and it shouldn't be considered a cherry pick. As for Thurman and Brook, have they really earned it? Each has only fought one top opponent (Guerrero and Porter respectively). Brook has won the title, and defended it against Jojo Dan (who??) and now Brandon Rios (wow). I'm no Khan fan, but he's fought seven top 10 opponents at JWW and WW. He's earned it more than the others. GGG should be picking on someone his own size (Ward, DeGale, etc)...
    I kinda agree. I don't think there's a single WW that has EARNED the fight. None of the top welters are fighting each other.

    Khan's best wins are literally years ago now. I can give him the Alexander fight, but Alexander isn't ranked top 10, I don't even know if he was at the time of the fight.

        I would love to fight the winner of Thurman v. Collazo next. I just turned pro at the end of last year...I'm 4-0 with 4 KOs all in the first round...

        You can tell the way Ellerbe acts he definitely knows what penis tastes like and not just Floyd's... As Floyd Sr. stated, we know Ellerbe~>:*******:

        Floyd Sr. sayd Amir Khan isn't getting the Mayweather fight because he's a FA6 but Ellerbe whom he stated was also a FA66OT gets to be CEO of Mayweather Promotions? Hmmm...seems a bit hypocritical of old Joy Sr.

          Well I didn't think Thurman would get a shot at Mayweather but ok. At this point who cares anymore, it won't be an opponent we actually want to see, it will be Khan. Adios Floyd!

            Floyd tried to lower expectations with the Berto and Mayfield trolling...

            But we all know Floyd see's an easy $32 mil in Algieri's leftovers...

              Fk you mean no Welterweight earned the fight? Triple G is the best Super-Welterweight out there right and he's definitely earned the shot...

                Unless Thurman gets Collazo outta there within 3 rounds, there's no chance Floyd fights him. September is right around the corner

                  He's right. Thurman ain't fought nobody. Berto has even fought tougher opposition than Thurman.

                    GGG a super welterweight now? Since when? Just because he's willing to come down to 154 doesn't mean he should be considered a super WW.

                      Thurman has personality, skill, style, power, speed, good backstory and the mic skills of a WWE superstar. With or without Floyd, he will blow up and get noticed on a national level. Obviously, fighting Floyd would help him get noticed way faster, but it's going to happen regardless, he will become popular eventually. Without fighting a big superstar it'll just take a while, but his time will come.
