    Haymon has all of these WW's yet Thurman has fought nobody.
    If Tim said he was interested in fighting those other guys then cool. But the last interview I saw when he was asked which was a bit after the re-upped with Top Rank, he said he doesn't care if he doesn't fight those other guys.

    Like I said previously, Arum seems to be warming up to doing business with Haymon. He said in an interview the other day he wouldn't mind a Garcia vs Vargas clash, Khan was supposedly in the running to face Manny, so the potential for these fights are there.

    Thurman is fighting Brook next. Meanwhile i'm sure Bradley will be fighting the Vargas' of the world. Heck Vargas at least has said he wants to fight all these other guys. Tim is content just shutting up and doing what Bob tells him, much like Manny.

      Ok so if you say Haymon and Arum are doing business together, all my points on Bradley over Thurman.

      Bradley is simply the better fighter.

You don't get points for fantasy fights, you have to beat these guys in the ring. Tim is a real good fighter, but for crying out loud his best wins at welterweight are Jesse Vargas and Brandon Rios. His welterweight resume just isn't that good. Unless you want to act as if his win over Manny wasn't a robbery
        He also schooled Marquez. Even though Marquez is small.

          This fight will be easier to call after we see Thurman vs Porter. Porter isn't too dissimilar to Tim.

            He should fight Brook. I think he'd stand a better chance.

But c'mon son, why is nobody interested in seeing him fight everyone else? The guy said he doesn't care about fighting the other welterweights in the division and he just gets a pass? Arum seems to be warming up to doing business with Haymon, but he flip flops everyday with that. So if there is the possibility to make those fights are you not interested in seeing them?
                Here's that interview

                  I don't know what people don't get about a joke like Brook. All he wants to fight is Khan, and takes Jo jo Dan level fights when Khan refuses to fight him. Brook's team never even attempt to negotiate fights against guys like Thurman, Garcia, Bradley, etc. All he does is drop their names. He did try to fight Rios and Chaves, of all fighters.

                    Beer you are missing the point. I don't care who wins, my posts weren't in favor of Thurman, I just want to see all these guys fight each other. I honestly don't care who wins, as long as they are all fighting one another or at least give the impression that they are open to fighting anybody.

                      I feel the same way, I just think Bradley is a better fighter than Thurman. That's all
