Will Mayweather surprise everyone by fighting Thurman in September

[Emon723]

Mayweather last year almost pulled a surprise to boxing fans when he announces he's gonna face Devon Alexander instead of Guerrero, this year, just when everyone thought Amir Khan is gonna get his shot, Floyd chooses Maidana.

Since Mayweather is gonna fight on September 13 and there are plans of defending his two titles on the same night, his choices has been narrowed down to a Maidana rematch (I honestly believe Floyd doesn't want it) and Danny Garcia.

In between Danny Garcia and the number 1 rank welterweight Keith Thurman, Garcia is the win-win fight for Floyd, Danny has fought the familiar names (Morales, Khan, Judah, Matthysse) but has yet to beat a 147-pounder and didnt look good in his last fight.

One thing going for Thurman that Mayweather can consider is what happen to Canelo in September last year, who seems shell-shocked with that magnitude of a huge event, couldnt keep up with his game-plan, the Floyd camp will think Thurman will be exposed in his first big fight, besides if they want to defend two titles, then be against someone who weights around 147-150lbs.

Mayweather vs Thurman with Maidana in the undercard.

Alexander would have been better than Guerrero. Hell freaking Berto would have been better than Guerrero. I wouldn't be surprised, he might choose huge gloves for him.

Tbh, Porter would be a bigger, better fight.

I would be shocked if Thurman got the call..he is exciting and undefeated but hasn't had a true signature win yet or any titles. There is more deserving guys

Porter
Cotto 2
Maidana 2

Thurman would be a good fight. I don't see Thurman winning, but it would be interesting.

Not enough time for Cotto in September but i'll prefer a Cotto rematch any day than the rest at 147, the Maidana fight was said to be a PPV disappointment, they probably won't do a rematch.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Not marketable on PPV

If mayweather Trash talks, He can sell the fight. I would love for this to happen.

Outside of super hardcore fight fans, nobody even knows who the f**k Keith is. Canelo is one of the bigger names in the sport currently and has an entire country behind him. The Maidana stock was as high as it was going to get after his demolition of Broner. Khan was considered for his across the pond fan base. Hell even Guerrero, who wasn't a big name to casuals -- was still a bigger name than Keith is today.

I doubt Floyd'c camp even considers Thurman for two seconds. Maybe down the line as KT continues to build his resume & fan base, but not for this next fight. No way.

Lol no. Thurman won't ever get a shot at that "lottery".

Brian Sutherland deserves a shot at Mayweather.
