Unfortunately this isn’t the case in boxing now
Believe me I know.
The welterweight division has plenty of "names" way past their prime that you can match him with.
Being a top tier WW in this era is like a damn lottery ticket. You got guys like Ortiz, Alexander, Algeri, Lopez, Berto, etc. You got all these fights, and the people would pay to see it.
Don’t forget; Luis Collazo, Adrian Granados, Dulorme, Vargas, Horn, Mike Alvarado, Brandon Rios etc etc and some of these are considered good fightsBelieve me I know.

Your mans is the one that wants the tuneups I want to see him fight Porter nextYa'll nikkas is worse match makers than PBC in 2015
Yesterday it was Thurman vs Bertoand now Thurman vs Horn.
What the fukk.
Yeah, but don't go throwing ugly fights like Berto and Horn around when there's more deserving and better fighters out there.
I wanna see Thurman vs Pac next. We already seen Porter vs Thurman.

I don’t think Berto is an ugly fight now Horn is but not Berto. I want Thurman vs Porter or Spence I don’t think he deserves a Pacquaio fight

I get that but here’s the thing though, I don’t think some of those fights you guys are talking about as merely tuneups would be actually tuneups for the Thurman we saw Saturday. They might be rather life and death fights...
I have nothing against Thurman vs Manny or Porter either just saying I’m not that confident of Thurman beating the Horns or even Vargases and Dulormes right now to just call those fights confidence boosters or tune ups. Lopez is worse than any of those guys now and winded up more than a confidence booster, it was harder than expected for him rusty or not...
Just watched that Pac vs AB fight
It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was from all the memes

...on all 3 fronts
I haven't even posted my thoughts on Thurman performance and I been riding for the Thurminators from the start 
I thought Keith looked solid for the most part. Biggest complaints was he moved too damn much, (still threw like 900 punches so his cardio was on point) and that he almost let Lopez KO him and he couldn't seem to get outta the way of dudes right hand for shyt.
I thought Lopez was a good opponent for Thurman, cuz dude always brings it and only really got blown out once, by Canelo who was a much naturally stronger and bigger man. Hell, nikkas love hyping up Maidana, but Lopez was putting his foot in his ass too, same thing with Jesse Vargas. nikka was actually taking rounds from Berto as well, so its not like dude was some no hoper. He was always gonna get his and have some moments against Thurman. I think Thurman just let him have too big a moment.
nikkas is getting carried away tho cuz Khan looked much worse against a worse opponent in Vargas and now he finna fight Bud.
so fukk all that. Let Thurman fight Pac. Both of them just fought so at least they can line up that bout a lil better than other names.
I still think Thurman beats Bud and is prolly 50/50 with Spence, but I'd still pick Keith. I'm just gon wait until after Mikey makes Spence look human for a bit, before I even mention them two again.
Thurman gotta be more Terry Norris and less Freitas. The movement is cool sometimes, but damn, stay near your opponent and break them down.
