Comments Thread For: Team Mayweather: Ain't Nobody Thinking About Thurman

[SeekDaGreat]

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

And lost to them, ALL.

It never ceases to amaze me how fighters who have done nothing in their careers think they deserve or feel entitled to a fight against Floyd Mayweather. Thurman has only fought one decent fighter in his entire career. Amir Khan has fought good opposition, but he has lost half of his fights to quality opposition. GGG has done nothing but beat stumblebum after stumblebum. Yet, all of them (or their fans on this site) think they are entitled to a shot at the biggest star in boxing.

Mayweather beat five world champions and one recently deposed world champion in four different weight classes before he could get a shot at the biggest draw in boxing at the time -- Oscar De La Hoya. Guys like Thurman and Khan win one or two fights against decent opposition and they think they have earned the right to fight Mayweather. GGG does nothing in his career yet still thinks he deserves a shot against Mayweather because the clowns on HBO think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

None of these guys have done anything to earn a Mayweather fight. Andre Berto deserves the fight more than Khan, Thurman or GGG.

It is better to fight and lose to quality competition than to not fight quality competition at all. If Thurman wants a shot at Mayweather, he should take the Errol Spence fight as Mayweather suggested and beat him.

"Ain't Nobody"?

Really?

It will be khan, as it should

Get in line Errol spence. Earn yours.

If i was thurman id wait 5 years to fight errol.
Literally. Thurman needs to sign with top rank. Get bradley marquez and crawford..

You were making a joke, but that is probably what will happen. Ten of Floyd's last 12 opponents were current world champions (the exceptions being Guerrero and Marquez). No fighter in the last 50 years has fought this level of opposition

The formula that boxing promoters and managers are using today is to put their fighter in the ring with 20 to 30 bums for every one quality fighter they fight. Canelo Alvarez fought 44 fights before he fought a quality opponent. Thurman has 25 or 26 fights and only one of them has been a quality opponent. At this rate, Thurman won't fight Spence or someone of the quality of Spence until his 45th fight, which, at the rate of three fights per year will be in eight years.

Berto fought younger, fresher versions of Thurman's best wins.
