I think Thurman will fight Mayweather in September for his 3 Welterweight belts, and Thurman will take his first Loss.
Thurman is a good fighter. Mayweather is a great fighter. Thurmans win over Guerrero earned him a future fight with Floyd Mayweather
Guerrero=Gatekeeper.
Thurman will fight Khan in 2016 though and he will Knock Khan into queer street.
I've been saying this for a while, i'd LOVE to see Shawn "Showtime" Porter face off against Keith "One Time" Thurman. It would be a classic all American welterweight bout btw two strong African American fighters. Make it happen Al please!
For the Three options above, Thurman can.
i think Khan-Bradley will be made. And if Khan wins, he'll face the Floyd-PAC winner. If Bradley and Floyd wins, they'll face off.
if Bradley and Manny wins... then Manny will face Brook or Thurman.
I think if Floyd beats PAC, then he'd rather unify belts and face Brook rather than face Thurman.
Thurman vs Porter would be a good fight too...acceptable.
They have been ducking each other or putting off fighter each other for a while.
Now they cannot.

I'd prefer Brook. but i think Brook is looking for a soft touch as a come back.
Maidana would be perfect since he's free at the moment and he's a top 10 welterweight.
Floyd
Pac
Bradley
Khan
Brook
Marquez
Maidana
Porter
Peterson
Rios
Chaves
Floyd is an slow feather fisted old man. Thurman would KO him easily. That fight never happens.
Anyways, Thurman keeps talking about facing a real WW, but fights Guerrero? LMAO.
I'm thinking he'll fight the winner or Shawn Porter and Roberto Garcia
Shawn Porter will beat Roberto Garcia. The winner of Shawn Porter vs Roberto Garcia will probably fight the winner of Berto vs Lopez
maidana ducked thurman really hard for a good while and i expect him to keep doing so, i dont see hearn letting kell brook anywhere near him either. khan would fight him for sure, but i think his people would rather have him fight brook in england for more money and less of a risk. that leaves porter with alexander as a backup.
personally i would rather see any of the fights i mentioned but dont expect to happen (maidana, khan or brook). like mentioned khan is probably the most likely out of the three.
Fanny Garcia won't fight Thurman, he's hiding out at 143 and if he moves up you can guarantee the most dangerous guy at 147 won't be top of his list.
Danny Garcia has a chin of granite, He is not afraid of Thurman, he beat Matthysses ass.
Not that ballsy, just far-fetched. More along the lines of saying that the Browns will find a capable option at quarterback within the next 3 years. You don't expect it to happen, but it just might.
Bro, thats Ballsy. And you have to give Manziel another chance. FFS it's only his rookie year.
I say danny Garcia is the best option.... 2 undefeated fighters over the summer both coming off PBC main event wins, headling on NBC, winner gets floyd in September in his farewell fight... Hyping it as a "floyd elimantor" will really raise the profile of the fight, plus two undefeated fan friendly style fighters in their prime... That's the fight thurman should target

Devon Alexander or Shawn Porter.
Obviously all the Top Rank affiliated opponents are off the table and I don't see Mayweather, Maidana, Khan or Brook (Hearn) being interested.
basically for Brook and Khan..Thurmann is high risk low reward right now
Damn, We disagree on so much sh1t it is ridiculous. But at least you voted for me for Lounge poster of the year. Anyway, that is a ballsy prediction. That is like predicting the Raiders to win the super bowl for the upcoming season.
No it's not anything like that...
Larry Holmes 2.0.
Floyd is going to lose twice to Pacquiao on close cards, take a year off, then come back and fight Thurman for vacant belts and get throttled.

The ones you listed in the poll won't fight him
It will probably be someone like Alexander ,porter or Danny Garcia
There are no Barriers between fights against Maidana and Khan. None what so ever. They are both available. Next issue, Mayweather.
You are so confident that Mayweather will fight Pacquiao again in september. Mayweather is not going to lose to Pacquiao, And if Mayweather wins, He will not rematch Pacquiao.
I am about to address a comment you made in one of my threads.
Just because I think Mayweather beats Pacquiao and me wanting Mayweather to beat Pacquiao does not make me a fl0mo. A Fl0mo is someone who thinks Mayweather is unbeatable. I Think Mayweather is beatable. The guys that can beat him are GGG 154, Hopkins 160, and Spence.
Just wanted to put that out there.
Now I don't think thurman has any chance against mayweather, but I believe he could pose some problems for Mayweather. The Main problem he would pose for Mayweather is Size.
And there should not be any problem selling a fight between Mayweather and Thurman. It would break 1 Million.
