      Won't happen - too risky.

        Agreed. The entire top 10 is avoiding one another in the hope that they won't suffer any setbacks before they get to scrap for the division after Mayweather retires.

          That is Hearn MO, name dropping to promote his fighter.

            Don't know why they always make it sound as if Thurman is some Golovkin or something. Keith "Sometimes" Thurman's last 2 fights were against washed up Guerrero and semi-retired Collazo, and, still, they made the supposedly young prime hungry lion run, almost took a knee from a huge blow on the kidney. Definitely a winnable fight for Mr expert clincher Brook.

            I'd even venture to say Chaves is riskier and dirty. You can kiss your ass with your excessive clinching with Chaves. Besides, where is the glory in beating Chaves?

            I don't even know what these people are thinking.

            And I hope Khan gets to Thurman first.

              He already said he wants to fight floyd ask floyd why he won't fight him and Bradley has to fight Ali.

                Whilst I don't think it happens yet I could see this happening and I think Brook wins in convincing fashion but won't get the credit.

                Its another Porter fight in the sense they hype this guy up to the moon, Brook beats him in an ugly fight & gets the blame and then fans start dismissing Thurman. They'll say he hasn't beat anyone, struggled with Collazo, was badly hurt vs Karrass and Robinson etc
                I can see it a mile away.

                They did it with Porter - ''The next Tyson'', a guy a fair few was claiming would beat Floyd. Brook beats him, all of a sudden they start saying Porter is bunk and has limited skills etc

                  The excuses have already started.

                    They're both with Haymon, right? Not happening. They'll both continue to fight F- level boxers who box part time while working the night shift at their local warehouse

                      So now everyone wonders what has happened to this deceitful article.

                      The Brook camp is aware that Thurman is more than available for the fight as seen in another recent article. Yet Hearn and his boy are not pursuing Thurman.

                      Is this just another case of saying one thing, but doing another?
