    If boxing made any sense....

    Brook/Thurman winner would get Floyd/Khan winner. Only reason why I even have Khan fighting Floyd is because we all know it's happening.

    Brook has a big UK fan base. Easy fight to market for Floyd. If Thurman beats Brook, he has major buzz surrounding him, even more than he already does.

    That would make sense but boxing is an irrational business

      Also, Floyd owns 2 belts at WW. Khan is 1 of his mandatories, and Thurman is the other. The only other belt holder, not named Pacquiao is Brook.

      There's no way Floyd gets away with not fighting Book/Thurman if he beats Khan. There's no other WW's out there that's going to beat Brook or Thurman to jump their rankings. Pacquiao is with TR.

      Brook/Thurman has to be next for Floyd, after Khan.

          I don't think Mayweather can motivate himself for Khan, he also knows Khan doesn't deserve it.

            Khan, Garcia are likely. Pacquiao, Cotto II are necessary.

              Clearly Floyd doesn't make happen because people deserve it. Maybe tries to give the illusion that someone deserves it. I would argue Canelo deserved the fight. But you would then need to hop in the Delorean and head back to 2007 find someone that honestly deserved the fight. Then again... 88 miles per hour to 2002.

                Thurman, Alexander, Khan and Guerrero are all due to return in November/December, they should be matched up against eachother and the two winners should be the leading candidates for the Floyd fight in May.

                I'd like to see Thurman vs Alexander and Khan vs Guerrero. There's no reason why these fights can't be made, 3 top 10 guys (I got Guerrero just outside the top 10) all available and with the same promoter/network.

                  No. Thurman/Brook gets the winner of Floyd/Khan. Don't ever put Alexander or Guerrero in the mix. Only reason why I'm cool with Floyd fighting Khan is because it's happening no matter what, and we all know it. No point in protesting something that's happening, and UK fans seem to get hard on thinking about it.

                    Brook isn't fighting again until around February I'm guessing. Not sure if there's enough time for him to fight in February and then again in early May. But Brook isn't fighting Thurman unless it's a mandatory. I'm not sure if he was bluffing when he called Thurman out, but Hearn wouldn't allow it to happen anyway. Thurman beats Brook btw.

                    Alexander and Guerrero are both available now and more realistic fights for Thurman. But of course I'd prefer to see him fight Brook.

                    As for Khan, I'm cool with him fighting Floyd because stylistically I think he gives Floyd a very hard fight. And I don't care if he hasn't 'earned' it. Ortiz, Guerrero and Maidana got their shots at him by beating Berto and Broner...
