    This is a poor fight. Collazo is a decent fighter but not even on the level of the Ghost. Are they hoping for a shot at Mayweather by staying busy? It certainly does little for Thurmans resume...

    about right for Thurman, old and past it like a majority of his opponents. Devon alexander is the fight he should be looking for, but he's below 30 and not shot to **** so I don't expect him to take it anytime soon.

    Paulie's supposed to be fighting D Garcia, so I can see Thurman fighting him before the year end too

    Paulie or Swift? Swift would be a name anyway, but Thurman would annihilate him. Thurman vs Paulie would be hilarious.

    Paulie I meant, add him to the long list of shot ex champions he's beaten. Other than chavez has Thurman actually faced anyone close to their prime?

    Well if we assume that Khan and Mayweather are fighting in September
    Pacquiao is out
    Kell Brook has just fought
    Porter is fighting Broner
    Bradley is fighting Vargas
    Maidana is weighing near 200 by some accounts

    Is there really a whole lot of good fights out there for Thurman right now?
