Thurman is doing nothing different to everyone else. It's a food chain.
Floyd wont fight Thurman because he can make the same money against less dangerous fighters. Thurman wont fight Spence because he can currently make the same/more money against bigger names in the division.
Just because Floyd wants his boy to get fast tracked up the ladder it doesn't mean guys like Thurman are going to bend over and say go right ahead.
These guys are all with Haymon anyway, if they wanted to make the fights they would.

Thurman has been ducked quite carefully. For some strange reason, he is having the GGG effect. Guys just don't want to jump into fight him for pennies to the dollar. High risk vs. low reward.
Thurman should just keep fighting top 10 guys and hold his title. Sooner or later, someone has to fight him. And most likely it won't be this year, so next year he will have a big name scalp.
I think JMM (if not too old by then), Manny, Bradley or Brook would take a fight with him by next year. Just continue to hold the belt until that time.

He could have fought Brook. Same thing Thurman should be looking to do. Anyone fighting good opponents would be a huge improvement over what is going on in the sport now. Instead of top guys fighting top guys Collazo gets them all, there is something seriously wrong with that. Every fight can't marinate, some just need to be made, some people need to put up or shut up.
I'd love to see it. Anyone fighting talented fighters is good. Let the Rios, Collazo, Alexander types fight each other and the more talented people fight each other. All i see lined up is showcase fights anymore and it gets worse all the time. Let someone prove themself so we don't have to debate it.

Again though the key difference is Floyd has fought a who's who in the sport and Thurman has not. Thurman needs challenges. Not the biggest payday in the sport. Everyone skips steps now. They want to get known, then get paid. Look at Manny, Cotto, Floyd, Hatton etcetera. They got known, won big fights, then got paid. GGG is trying to skip the big fights step, Thurman is, Khan is, Brook is it goes on and on. Everyone has a reason why they won't fight someone. It needs to go away. The new generation needs to man up. Finally. Some of the champions today have been champions for years and still haven't fought anyone good.
I see what you're doing. You're being disingenuous. Go ahead and make your winning point. I'll have an actual discussion with someone who wants to have a discussion not try to set traps. Obvious though they may be. I don't care to "win" a debate. I want people to open their damn eyes and see the promoters are selling garbage. There are good fights that should be made.
I don't know what the hell boxing fans have against good fighters fighting good fighters.
He was pretty impressive. Even does the tuck and roll from the opposite side and is yet offensive. Reminds me a little of the 135 Floyd. 135 and 12 as an amateur and won three National titles in a row. Not sure if that's been done before. Diamond in the ruff for sure.
mate i was just pointing out how daft you sound
thurman is a big name, some impressive performances and i dont think anyone would agrue with floyd fighting him
and khan has more than earned his shot, he has fought as many top LWW and WW contenders as anyone
neither need to fight brook to have earned their shot at anyone
they both deserve a pay day the size of what they would get if they fought mayweather
as does brook

Yeah it would be great if us fans could make the matches. But boxing is a business. It's about making money for EVERY fighter and everyone involved with them.
Back in the day, before Floyd became superduper rich, he was offered $8 million to fight Margarito and $8 million to fight Baldomir. Now everyone knows the Margarito fight was infinitely more appealing for the fans but much more dangerous for Floyd.
So Floyd took the easy option for the same money. Makes perfect sense. Now if Floyd was offered $16 million to fight Margarito i'm sure he would have taken the tougher challenge. Business.

and it doesnt really work this way "Let the Rios, Collazo, Alexander types fight each other "
say rios fights collazo now and wins, collazo drops down a peg, maybe he gets allexander as a last chance at that level, maybe he doesnt
rios is gonna want to fight someone with a bigger name if he can get the fight, if he cant then maybe he will fight an alexander type, if he wins that then he will be really upset if he doesnt get a bigger name
and then a bigger name fights a bigger name and loses so he would then drop down to fight a second level name to try and prove himself to fight a bigger name again
thing is he has to pick his second level name carefully otherwise he might look shit, or get little credit for his win, or even be in a styles make fights fight and lose, so the "rios, collazo, allexander" fighter gets his go at the bigger name
so in the end it would end up exactly like it is now, people trying to pick the right fights to improve their shit
