    He'll have his time. It's just going to take sometime. No one wants to fight him. He's calling everyone out, but he's looking high risk low reward right now. And everyone and their mother is avoiding him.

    But if he gets his shot at stardom, he better take it , and I think he will.

    Pretty much. There was a time when no one wanted to fight him, and he was calling out everyone and their mother and they all turned him down. He couldn't even sell out in Grand Rapids.

    But he kept winning and kept going through weight classes and beating champions. And now hes at the top.

    perhaps pac or prov would accept..matthyse or danny garcia if they can rack up some wins at 147..maidana would give him the business...i don't think maidana would avoid him.

    Would like to see any of them. I'm tired of not being able to compliment him correctly. I want to believe he's the truth, I just need to see him in with someone as a barometer. Even if that someone isn't someone elite like Floyd or Pac. I need him in with someone who's at least solid, and proven .

    No Welter wants to fight him so he is avoided.... no Middleweight wants GGG but he is all hype... riiiight.

    So GGG has to go up in weight but not Thurman? Sounds like double standards. Both should be willing to go up to get bigger fights.

    I just said that Thurman needs to emulate Floyd and go up eventually. Read

    No, your title indicates that he IS taking the Floyd route...which he isn't. WRITE.

    Ladyboy had no idea because he just started watching boxing a few years ago when Manny Pacquiao started getting really popular and had no idea who Mayweather was until he tried to make his idol take some blood tests.

    By the time Floyd was Thurmans age, he was a 2 weight lineal world champion.
