    WTF is Al Haymon doing?

    Thurman has called out every single worthwhile Welter this year... yet only fought once. This would have been a perfect time to put Keith in tough.

    Devon Alexander has been calling him out for months, neither has a fight lined up and are both set to return around the same time no reason why Alexander-Thurman shouldn't happen next.

    I don't know. Maybe its what seems to be a minor injury? Or maybe its Haymon. It really stinks though. Didn't he have three fights last year? And this year he only had three rounds? What a waste.

    He was offered to fight on the Mayweather Maidana 2 undercard and declined due to injury.

    Thurman just said he's fighting in December I think it'd be interesting to see if the guys at 147 continue to duck him.
