Canelo Alvarez vs. Keith Thurman Possible For 2013

[Null]

I can see Thurman fighting guys like Maidana, Angulo, and Kirkland as step up fights. If he gets past those than he should be put up for a title fight. However, I really don't understand what people see in him since he is a very sloppy fighter. I think many people in boxing like when a fighter has power and are blinded by it, in a way. Power punchers are good, but it takes more than that to make it to the top. I don't see him getting too far, with power alone. But, let's see what happens.

I'd like to see Thurman fight a Delvin next, beat him. Than fight a Kirkland or Angulo. If he were to get a win like that, Canelo-Thurman would be a pretty big fight.

Not happening anytime soon, I'd imagine.

Golden Boy's main goal IMO is Canelo-Cotto next year.

You guys don't know what you're talking about. Keith is a phenomenal boxer. Did nobody else see how he set that shot up that put Quintana down? That was great boxing.

The guy has had over 100 fights in the amateurs, with over 100 wins. He can definitely box.

Canelo is an entire tier above Thurman. This fight won't happen.

that would require canelo fighting a 154 lber that's not coming off of losses.
not happening.

Canelo is not the onlyone who want to fight the too guys..thruman wants too..every boxer want that..

Sure everybody wants the big fights. The difference is Canelo is a world champ and a huge money maker himself and Thurman is not. So guess who will have a better chance to fight those guys first. Hey, maybe Thurman could fight Lara.
