    Homie, 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!

      Why do people keep saying this???

      Ortiz and Guerrero weren't ready for Floyd either, and they JUST moved up to WW. Jesus, you Flowmos are something special.

      You really think Thurman couldn't kick the **** out of Berto, Ortiz, Guerrero or Maidana???

      Were they ready for Floyd???

            I'd love that fight. I wish they could actually make it happen.

            So, you're pretty much saying, "Thurman's a bad ass dude, and he's a tough fight for anyone. I think you just want Floyd to fight him, because he's a bad dude. Why not have Pac fight that monster?"

            Pretty much, right?

              And everyone screamed those were cherry picks and that Canelo was way to green for Floyd (after of course). If FLoyd goes down then oh well he goes down.

              Thurman is still building and if all goes well will be one of the elites when Floyd is gone. I would like to see him fight Floyd before Floyd retires but im not pushing for it cause i know hes not ready. IF it happens then ill be all for it though

                That's now what he's trying to say. He knows Thurman's a beast, and he thinks I want Floyd to fight him, because he'd actually be a good fight for Floyd. Oh lawd! How dare I want someone like Thurman to fight Floyd!

                    Biggest sack of BS I've ever read on NSB. You took Floyd nut huggin to new heights, and you know it.

                    "Thurman's a damn good fight for Floyd, but he might never fight Floyd, and I'd be cool with that." WTF!?

                      You know damn well Thurman doesn't have the power to make a fight with a TR fighter, and Schaeffer would never allow it.

                      If Thurman was on TR, we'd be hearing about Pac/Thurman 24/7 on this site.
