How come Keith Thurman is never mentioned in the 154lb conversation?

    Yea, what everyone else has said. He has decent power, speed and skills, but needs to step it up.

    No one even knows if he can go the distance and what his chin is like. I remember one time he was going to fight Maidana, which would've been a good test. But for some reason, that didn't happen.

    Right.

    This guy has called everybody out! You have to wonder why everyone isn't falling all over themselves to expose this prospect, for big money(HBO/SHO) and national/worldwide tv exposure.

    If I were Golden Boy I'm telling him to call out Trout.

    Even I don't think he's ready for Trout. But being that they are both with Haymon, that probably won't happen any time soon.

    Thurman really wants to fight at WW anyway. That's where he is most dangerous at presently.

    I suspect they will come up with a decent opponent for his upcoming bout. But maybe not the best, since it will be on Showtime.
