Originally posted by robust_ View PostCanelo wasn't even in his prime when he fought Mayweather. Thurman is showing great improvements each fight. I'd rather see him improve a bit more and fight better competition before he fights money. Floyd would fight thurman in a year or 2 from now imo. Fight would be worth $$$ if thurman keeps winning convincingly.
You're cool with a Khan fight? I'm talking just off the basis that it's Khan. Not that he beat some other top WW. Only because it's Khan.
Literally the only big events in boxing are Manny, Floyd, Canelo (no one really anticipates his fights like Manny or Floyd), Cotto (same as Canelo).Last edited by BUNGALOWS; 03-20-2014, 06:56 PM.

Originally posted by BUNGALOWS View PostYou see, that's so stupid. Why is Khan predetermined as an opponent? Why not make him earn it like Maidana?
Broner was the attraction, and Maidana beat him. Now people are interested in seeing that fight. Why can't Khan fight someone like Thurman or Porter, and the winner of that gets the next shot at Floyd?
Even Canelo had to earn it with Trout.

Originally posted by bungalows View Posthomie, thurman might not ever be ready for floyd. It doesn't matter if he's ready for floyd. He's more ready than maidana. Canelo fought floyd at 23 or something. Life goes on.
Nothing's guaranteed for tomorrow. You can't act like floyd won't get a career ending injury, or he just up and decides to retire.
If you have khan fight floyd now, and he gets his ass kicked beyond belief, how the hell do you market thurman or porter?
There aren't any cash cows like khan at ww. And you already know they're not gonna make thurman/porter vs danny.
I mean ****, guerrero got the floyd fight for beating aydin and berto. Ortiz got it for beating berto! Wtf!
No , keith thurman is not ready for floyd mayweather yet , he needs to fight at least two elite fighters before a match with mayweather.

Originally posted by sugarsmosley View Postbecause floyd is about the money, and fighting khan would get him lots of money. if khan loses again especially if he gets kod, the fights scrapped. fighting thurman could get him hurt, and a floyd-thurman fight is obviously not marketable to gbp. or else they would be moving keith faster by now
As for Thurman vs Khan.....say what you want but Thurman would have to KO Khan to win.....seems easy enough....but I believe he will be down on the cards when it happens.

Fighting Thurman is a step backwards. Collazo or Guerrero are established names who have won world titles.
So why didnt Maidana fight Thurman a year or so back?
