When will Keith Thurman step up his level of competition?

I don't buy that Thurman and his camp are ducking anyone. I've seen Thurman call out big names for several years now: Floyd, Pac, Khan, Bradley, Alexander, Broner, Maidana, Porter, Malignaggi, ect. I don't think any of these guys want to get in there with him because he's stuck in the "big risk, low reward" boat that so many young prospects with little name recognition get stuck in.

So to answer your question, I think he'll step up his competition when the competition is willing to sign on the line and get in there with him.

This is why Donaire's nod to Walters was good for boxing. Notice all of these names are tied in with one guy, one way or the other- Al Haymon.

If Thurman wants to be someone he should jump ship and go to Arum.... as shitty as that sounds...
