Thurman looked very good against a game Karass, but I don't think he's really deserving of a shot yet. I'm thinking with 2 good wins against the likes of 2 of the following: (Porter, Khan, Paulie, Broner, Alexander) then he might get the last crack at Mayweather. What do you guys think?
Maybe, but I think he needs two. Beating Diego Chaves, Sotto Karass and potentialy beating a Porter is ok, but he needs another big name I think. Add Khan or Broner and he's a guy Mayweather can't ignore as his list is getting thin with possible opponents
I agree. One big win gets him in (the running.)
What's people's definition of looking very good? He looks very sloppy to me. Anyway two to three wins over recognisable names should put him in line for a Mayweather fight. It'll probably end up happening May next year.

One Time hasnt yet earned a shot at Money Mayweather, the biggest PPV attraction and the best fighter in the sport. But for guys like Porter (or his dad) to be saying he needs some wins first is ridiculous, he's beat Soto Karass, Carlos Quintana, Jan Zaveck and Diego Chaves who were all live fighters at world level if not elite. Thurman is mustard, he's ballsy, hits real hard, is fast of hand and foot, can box or bang, has a pretty good defence, doesn't neglect the body, has an engine and movement but most of all he has the right attitude.
Dont know that he will ever get the PBF shot given that Mayweather is due to retire real soon and Keith isn't a big money fight yet. But if Floyd isn't gonna fight Manny Pac or move to MW then i'd rather e faced a hungry young buck like Thurman or Garcia
If he continues to win and look impressive then it's definitely possible and makes perfect sense.
I'd imagine Garcia and Thurman will be 2 of his last 3 fights (Hopefully after Maidana)
Now Bradley's out I'm not sure who the other one will be.
Yea that fight has the feel of what Tim Bradley and Shawn Porter had. Everyone kind of knew their paths were going to cross and that the winner would head on to big things. I guess the winner could get a shot.
Winner has to get the shot. Who else is there? Danny, Khan?
Danny doesn't want the fight, and Khan's just whack.
Thurman/Porter winner gets Floyd. No way you can say no to that. If Ortiz and Guerrero gets shots for beating Berto's bum ass, then winner of that fight has to get Floyd.
Even though I want both of them to get a shot at him.

Thurman just needs one big win. He gets that then he's in the sweepsteaks

The only potential problem I see is that Mayweather only fights on the two big Mexican holidays, so fighting Thurman he would either need to stack the undercard with Mexicans or Thurman has a fight of the year type fight before the Mayweather fight that helps sell his name.
