Crap fight, but the only good thing about it, is he is not fighting another come forward brawler.
I have said it before, if he does not wipe out Collazo early, i think he going to be exposed a bit, though still will win.
Anyway next, he has Khan, Porter, Broner, Maidana, Brook, Floyd (outside chance) to fight.Last edited by Slick_Rick; 07-08-2015, 10:40 AM.

If Thurman wants better fights he can get them. It has nothing to do with Haymon, PBC, Floyd ducking, hugging, running, clinching and cherry picking or whatever other excuses are being made for him.
This is like the trillionth time Thurman is taking a subpar fight because "no one else is available", "everybody is ducking me", "they didn't offer me any other names", "I had to take what I can get", etc.
Nobody is trying to hear that **** anymore. Put up or shut up.
Who else was available to fight in June/July?

There is no politics preventing big fights for thurman. No issues working with other promoters to make a fight. Everything is under one roof making these fights for Thurman easy to get made. If Haymon wants it it will happen. But he doesn't so we get crap like Collazo. GGG is struggling to get fighters from other promoters to fight him.

The better question is how come everybody is always booked when its time for Thurman to fight?

It was the only way to have a legit excuse to feed the fans the old
"you don't get to Mayweaather by fighting Collazo".

Soto Karass was a decent fight at the time btw, that was a year and a half ago.

But by giving him fights like this they are hurting him more than helping him. If he doesn't get Brook, Khan, Porter, Bradley or someone on that level in the ring by the end of the year that will be troubling. Hell, I'll even take Alexander or Spence at this stage.
