    alexander had been calling out thurman for a while, thuman did respond but he was pretty quiet about it in truth and had plenty to say about other fighters. Devon was clearly willing to take the fight , is it thruman who is being held back by haymon ?

    it does seem like that id say most other guys would be slated for this situation especially if hes against a weak opponent next

    everybody calls each other out openly...its whether they can get in the ring is what matters.. and thurman would beat the likes of alexander easily imo. It would be an interesting match up.. cant wait to see khan vs alexander tho...and hopefully thurman challenges the winner or winner gets thurman (depending on your standpoint of things, thus its stated from either side....)

    yeah but he didnt press much for the alexander fight and did so more for other fighters if he was being avoided by fighters why not take the alexander fight with both hands

    Why would he duck a fighter who recently got brain damaged?

    You're missing out Guerrero who Thurman fought. I would argue he's just as established at WW as Alexander.

    If Al Haymon decides to make the fight Keith Thurman will take the fight. I'm pretty sure both are in the same stable.
