    If anyone was to give Floyd a run....

    I think it's Keith Thurman. I am a huge Mayweather fan and never tabbed anyone to beat him, however, out of all the current boxers in the running for a Mayweather shot, I feel Keith has the best shot at taking his 0. He has good hand speed, incredible power, and good footwork. I doubt he can beat Mayweather if it goes to a decision, but Thurman has the skills to get to Mayweather and possibly hurt him.

    This fight could happen in September. Floyd has no real options for September if Pacquiao isn't happening, and Thurman would be his mandatory if he beats Maidana.

    I hope it doesn't, I kind of envision Thurman as a 2015 Floyd opponent, because I want Thurman to fight a couple top fighters first.

      Thurman definitely has the speed and power to hurt Mayweather.

        So you're saying Floyd health would come first?

          People laugh at him, but Khan can give Floyd problems with his jab, speed and foot work.

            Thurman VS Porter needs to happen, then the winner should face off with Floyd.

              This made me lol, like I said I am a huge Floyd fan, but I think he will avoid this fight because he can say that Thurman doesn't have any names under his belt, so yea pretty much.

                I'd rather see Thurman than Porter vs Floyd.
