      Broner seems to be Floyd's new policeman so maybe that fight will happen

              He needs a couple of more victories against B+ or A competition

                There's really no argument as to how he is. It's weird ppl throw his name around. Hood fighter but his resume is bare bones.

                  Sure at lest in terms of the possibility of providing a competitive fight, he certainly isn't very proven but that is not a prerequisite for being competitive or winning a fight, plus who exactly is he going to beat to prove that he can get after Floyd not a single person fights like him.

                  Realistically he needs at least 1 marquee win with probably another decent win mixed in (for example not Julio Diaz).

                  I personally don't mind an up and comer getting a shot depending on the other (real) options.

                      Options are slim aren't they.

                      Who else is there at 147?

                      I'd like to see the winner of the Pauli/Porter/Brook mix fight Thurman and the winner fight Floyd.

                      If Thurman can get someone else in the Top 10 before or after that it would be even better.

                      He's definitely an option atleast down the road.
