the idea of a mayweather-thurman fight was floated in an article recently. i know a lot of people aren't too high on keith after having a dominant, but somewhat disappointing non KO performance against the obscure bundu. it still doesn't change the fact that thurman is very well schooled and possibly the biggest puncher in the division. this is a fight i always felt mayweather would avoid. thurman is a serious threat even if he is a bit green. i've felt for a while thurman could possibly score an upset win against mayweather. if this ppv was made i would immediately make plans to watch this fight. it would be absolute must see tv for me. so if this fight actually were to happen, would you get this ppv?
no one has a chance, zero chance of beating Floyd, from 154 & down
the ATG destroyer of multiple divisions was reduced to basically nothing.
Floyd vs double G at 154
won't happen though
I'd be interested but as others have stated, Keith Thurman does not deserve it at this point in his career. Let him impressively beat a Maidana, Khan or Brook then the fight becomes more intriguing. Danny Garcia would be more deserving of a Mayweather fight, but I think he has less of a chance than Thurman, probably gets schooled 11-1.
i see the same thing. danny has earned his stripes so to speak but everybody pretty much across the board just doesn't see floyd having a hard time beating him. he has the better resume no doubt. in a lot of ways the timing is all wrong for a danny fight but im pretty sure he might just be the guy that gets it. had danny gotten floyd right after matthysse i think it would have been the perfect time. the intrigue for that fight died down significantly with the razor thin controversial win over herrera. i think floyd can still sell danny based on his credentials though so at the end of the day its the fight most likely to be next for floyd. whether thurman deserves it or not though i agree he has a much better chance of beating floyd than danny does.
Not right now, no. If Thurman beats Maidana or Khan then sure why not. Not like there are many options for Floyd. All of a sudden his fans are calling for a rematch with Cotto after they said the first fight was a 10-2 fight.
Brook,Manny,Khan are the real only options right now. And only Brook cause he has a belt and a good recent win over Porter.
Go ahead name them....
Pacquiao
Brook
Khan
Porter-lost recently but has bigger wins than Keith
Bradley
Lara
Danny Garcia
Cotto
Marquez
Andrade
All of them have a better résumé than Thurman. I'm not knocking the guy, he's good, but he's beaten nobody.

Now this would be a scripted fight because if it was real it would be a snooooooze fest cause Thurman is boooooring!!!!!!!
i think this would be a very interesting fight. i cant see it being boring. thurman has one dull fight and he's chalked up as being a boring fighter. makes me very interested in his next fight after the backlash and boos. i think he might just come out with a chip on his shoulder
I'd buy it if Cotto-Canelo was on the undercard.No way would Canelo or Cotto fight on a Mayweather under card, that would be one expensive co feat if I ever saw one.
