Official Keith '#OneTime' Thurman - "THE LAST HOPE" Bandwagon Thread

[BostonGuy]

Won't be big in Vegas and Floyd is gonna stay loyal to mgm

I don't see him going to wembley at all

And he's gonna vacate his belts so the selling point of that fight being it's for all the belts is no longer there

It's gotta be Thurman or pacquaio II but this time priced less it's still the biggest money fight in boxing .

Manny Pacquaio did not do anything to warrant a rematch; he fought an uninspired one dimensional fight. He had a few moments few and far between but he was never able to build any momentum.

The boxing public won't accept a rematch; no one wants to see a massive letdown again. Better to have a new face like Kell Brook (why wouldn't he travel to Vegas for his biggest career payday??) or Keith Thurman

judging by the talk of mayweather vacating his belts, the choice is probably between pacquiao ii and cotto ii

Cotto's fighting Canelo, although I wouldn't be surprised if he fought Floyd for his MW title at a 155 catchweight

I seen a video of an interview with Ruslan Provodnikov and he was already completely healed from the Matthysse fight.Thurman has the remnants of the blackeye he suffered in the guerrero fight.Is it just me or does he seem to get ****** up a bit in every fight even when they appear to be easy outings.

At this point it's (more than ever) all about money for Floyd, vacating his titles only proves it.

Pacquiao II would sell. I hope this fight won't get made though. I wanna see Floyd fight someone who actually uses their jab, so, like you, I'd like to see him fight Brook or Thurman. Maybe even Khan.

I thought the Geale fight on HBO was contingent on Cotto fighting Alvarez? If so, he's not fighting Mayweather.

Thurman is unlikely to get the fight, but I guess it's possible.

MW isn't losing
he will remain unbeaten
I would give khan half a chance, but MW is a master and a boxing genius

To be honest, I don't see how this fight can sell after the massive letdown their first fight was. Typically rematches are made after where the first fight is competitive and exciting enough to compel fans to want to watch it again.

****, who here wants to see that fight again?? Pacquaio was one dimensional, lacked his usually intensity and was stymied for the majority of the rounds. It would be like Mayweather giving Robert Garcia a rematch. What's the point??

Also, I'm not sure Manny Pacquaio even wants a rematch. Pacquaio would be much better fighting someone like Maidana after this one.

Thurman is likely. Thanks to his match with Guerrero (a common Mayweather opponent) on free TV, he has gained enough recognition to be in the discussion.

Thurman has no chance what so ever.

[John Locke]

There are only 2 possible opponents for Floyd if he's fighting in September. Thurman or Brook.

Who else is realistically available? Khan can't fight in September.
