Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Keith Thurman.

Who would have won if it happened?

[NC Uppercut]

5 years ago..Keef!

[FeFist]

12-0 Mayweather.

Keith at his best was a well rounded boxer. His problem is that he is not exceptional at anything. Mayweather would have no problem boxing his ears off.

[Malvado]

What really bothers me about Thurman is that he has showcased that he is still a capable fighter in 2022, yet decided remain mostly inactive for 5 years.

Honestly I would had loved to see a Teofimo Lopez vs Keith Thurman. (Or Vergil Ortiz vs Keith Thurman since they were actually in the same division.)

Say what the Floyd that cherrpicked the second half of his career vs. Prime Thurman who had been calling him out?

Substitute Thurman instead of Berto and Floyd loses. It's a reason why Floyd never heard Thurman calling him out in the first place.

But we already know the Floyd Boys will just say the typical he ouboxes him easy

[MulaKO]

Floyd all day long
Counterpunch over counterpunch to the point where Keef would get frustrated and lose interest
He’d just go through the motions second half of fight

This is the version of Thurman who called out FMW for his mandatory. Chaves shoots right like a Philly fighter, so you get an idea of how Thurman might deal with FMW's counter. This version of Thurman was willing to sell out 100% for the KO. FMW used Spence as his guard dog, Maidana, and the LDBC 154 against Lara. It is what it is.

Also, note Maidana was offered Thurman at 17-0-17kos and declined.

Who do you think would have won?

Chaves is NOWHERE NEAR as skilled as Floyd, and he was giving Thurman trouble until he got knocked out.

I am aware, I just pointed out how Thurman works around a Philly counter which is FMW's bread and butter. We will never know.

We will never know how FMW vs Lara would have turned out for the WBA/WBC 154 given Lara is a southpaw with longer arms, excellent legs, and knew how to manage distance and at the time equaled FMW in power punches landed at roughly 50%. Again, FMW convinced everyone he should fight Maidana for an easy $30 million for 154 belts unless you think Maidana would beat a prime Lara at 154. We know he was unwilling to fight Thurman

As I said, we will never know.

Can’t compare the two imo
Iget the jizz but it would play out totally differently
I liked Keef but I think Floyd would beat him easily on the cards
Can’t see Keef even coming close at ko va Floyd and I am not Floyd’s biggest fan
