    Thurman is a small name in contrast to Khan or DSG....

    Khan fight is most dangerous for Floyd. And the most profitable for Floyd.

    DSG is the most safe fight for Floyd.

    Thurman is dangerous but not big money fight for Floyd.

      Look at Khan's resume and look at DSG and Thurman's. Who has the better resume?

        Garcia is a bigger name than Thurman. And Khan is way bigger than both.

        Just look at their social media follower count:

        Khan:
        Twitter: 1.59M
        Instagram: 451K
        Facebook: 2.9M

        Garcia:
        Twitter: 136K
        Instagram: 204K
        Facebook: 165K

        Thurman:
        Twitter: 11.5K
        Instagram: 19.2K
        Facebook: 20K

        Thurman has followers in the 10's of thousands.
        Garcia in the 100's of thousands.
        Khan has followers in the MILLIONS.

        Mayweather-Khan would sell WAY more than Mayweather-DSG and Mayweather-Thurman combined.

            From Wilson Kayden on YouTube. Thought his take was interesting:

            He doesn't even have a chance to win more than 3 rounds with Floyd. the man telegraphs his punches, and he isn't fast enough on his feet to get to Floyd. Not even close. Floyd would dance around Thurman and pot shot him to death. Make him look too silly.

            Thurman leads with his chin, and drops both arms sometimes when attacking, hops into attacks, too front foot heavy, open to be countered by a slick counter-puncher.

            Kell Brook would beat Thurman, Maidana gives him a very tough fight, Porter has a chance to beat him. Khan would outbox him and if he can manage not to get caught, Thurman won't win a single round vs Amir Khan. Diego Chaves was out-boxing him until he got caught. You need to pay attention to what is going on in the ring. DIEGO CHAVES WAS winning practically every round.

              Highly doubt it. One time needs to get in with a solid big name still. He has no fan base. I would still enjoy seeing it!

                Way too much risk for little reward. Can't see it happening ever.

                  What if Thurman went on a beat Khan first? And I mean completely obliterates him and knocks him out? Then I wonder if Floyd would take that fight.

                    Who do you think is the most likely 49 then?

                      Khan and Thurman both want to fight each other. Both are managed by Al Haymon though...
