Al Haymon will pay Thurman some step aside money and promise him a shot at Porter's title.


That way Floyd will be protected and Porter or Thurman will fall by the wayside.

The video is good, eh D4?

I wanna see Thurman and Porter fight eachother, but like you say that means one of them doesn't get a shot at Floyd. I want them both to get a shot at him.

But if Floyd doesn't fight him and vacates, doesn't that mean Thurman will fight somebody for the vacant WBA title?

Haven't seen it as yet will check it out later

Make sure you do, you'll like it

If Mayweather won't have it maybe the other star of the division will step in and give him a much deserved bout???

Only difference Floyd all his fights were set ups.

Floyd been ducking that fight for 5 years straight with a multitude of excuses which sees no sign of subsiding.

'THEY WAS HANDPICKED!!'

Maybe Thurman should try this tact

Unfortunately Floyd has got no woman <ldoh>

'Keith Thurman is one hell of a young fighter, but where was he at in 97, 98?'

So if Floyd vacates the WBA title, does that mean Thurman gets a shot at the vacant title against the number 2 ranked fighter the WBA?

If Floyd vacates. I think Thurman would fight Amir Khan for the title

I think Khan maybe no.1 for the WBC belt as well

That's a very bad idea for Khan, Thurman would starch him. Not sure if GBP/Khan's team would risk fighting Thurman with a potential Floyd fight just around the corner though.

Khan should fight Alexander and then Floyd in May.

Thurman should fight Maidana if he doesn't get the Floyd rematch or Matthysse if he moves up to 147. I'm not sure about Thurman's chin yet, Chaves thoroughly chin-checked him, but I'm still a bit suspicious...

Who was handpicked???

Floyds been ducking Thurman??? are you sure???

As i've said it looks like your talking to yourself again and Pac is still as guilty as Floyd for handpicking opponents and ducking too (I haven't seen pac mention fighting Maidana, Khan or Thurman)

Floyd isn't ducking Thurman (not yet anyway ), no. The video was a joke...don't be so paranoid.

Pac would beat the fack out off Maidana, it would be similar to the Rios fight. Pac actually convincingly beats his cherry-picked opponents.

Thurman and Khan are with GBP, nice of you to ignore that when it suits your argument. If they were with TR Pac would fight both. He might even let them pick their own gloves

Wait, what........ i haven't watched the videos as can't acces them at work.

I disagree that Pac would beat the 'fack' out of Maidana but your entitled to an opinion.

No argument from my side, Pac's as bad a ducker/cherry picker as Floyd. Refusing to fight someone that works in the same promotional company is actually worse in my eyes and maybe pac's staying with GBP so he doesn't have to fight these fighters????

that thing with floyd and the gloves (if true) is disgusting and he should be hauled over the coals for it.

Pac has never struggled against a predictable, come-forward robot like Maidana.

Pac has cherry-picked a few opponents as warm up/comeback fights like Rios, but that's completely fine. Every boxer does that. Who has he ducked though?

Pac is with TR, not GBP. I suggest you do your research. Pac has fought the best fighters available, within TR and outside of TR.

I don't really care who's with what company etc etc, it gives people like you an excuse as to why x,y and z are duckers but a, b and c aren't.

He ducked floyd for one , alvarez, Mosely until Mayweather finished with him.

If mayweather does duck Thurman then Manny should be chasing him regardless of who's with who.

'If you want to be the best, you should have to fight the best'

I can only laugh at your stupidity

Explain then, whilst i am also laughing at yours

Floyd has come up with every excuse if the book to not fight Pacquiao.

Watch those videos.

Alvarez is a 154 fighter, Pacquiao is not, also he's with GBP.

It's not Pac's fault GBP and TR don't do business.

Considering he's supposed to be one of the biggest fighters in the world (only a fool would disagree with that btw,) he would be able to say who he fights, using companies as an excuse is horse poopie.

I've mentioned before but again for the record, I am in agreement that Floyd has ducked Pac, I also believe Pac is in the same boat.

If Floyd can fight Alvarez so can Manny.

On that note i think we'll have to agree to disagree Kam, if Manny wanted the fight it would get made, he's too big a star to be ignored and as i believe his contract is coming up, all the more reason to push these things.

Who was handpicked???
Maidana
Canelo
Guererro
Ortiz
Marquez
Baldomir
Gatti

And many others
