      Thurman.

      He's got speed, strength, stamina, and he's a natural welterweight. Plus, as already mentioned, he's also a lot more unpredictable compared to Khan. I don't get why people say Thurman is "too slow".

      Thurman is pretty well-known now since he just fought on free TV. Plus, Showtime has been heavily pushing Thurman's name for over a year now.

            yep, the answer is definitely Khan if you want to see a competitive fight. Thurman is too slow to hang with Floyd. The problem is Khan would be even more insufferable if he could somehow find a way to win, so I'd rather he not even get a chance. I really don't even care who Floyd fights though. As much as I am a fan of his, there's nothing left for him to accomplish. 50-0 sounds nice, but who really cares what his next fight is going to be? Neither Khan nor Thurman is exciting.

            i think Floyd even beats GGG if they fight (which they won't). too quick on his feet, controls range too well.

              that's what I want to see too, but it's not likely Haymon will put it together anytime soon. i think these two are going to be the guys he milks the most as far as the free TV dates are concerned. so they'll both be protected pretty well. against each other would be a great, 50/50 kind of fight.

                Khan will probably get the fight and the only thing I like about that is the beating and knockout Mayweather will probably give him. Thurman deserves the fight more than Khan and has a much better chance to win. Thurman and Khan both fought Diaz only months apart. Diaz knocked Khan down and lost a close decision. Thurman knocked Diaz out in three one sided rounds. Thurman is an undefeated career welterweight who knocks out almost all his opponents. Khan has been KOed at both 135 and 140 and did not score a knockout in either of his welterweight fights although he did fight well and look impressive. My vote for Mayweather's next opponent is Thurman. My favorite opponent for Mayweather's last fight is GGG at 154 pounds but there is no chance in hell Mayweather would take that fight.

                  I think Amir stands a better chance of beating Floyd

                    Khan could have had a Thurman fight any time he wanted. Thurman would love to fight him. Khan and his team are careful and I offer as proof of that his next opponent. Algieri is a soft hitting 140 pounder coming straight off a 120 to 103 six knock down loss to Pacquiao. Algieri can box and take a punch but it's a pretty safe fight for Khan. No way Khan ever fights Thurman. In fairness to Khan he did try to get a fight with Broner who would have been a good opponent. Broner wanted a damn catchweight of 144 and Khan rightfully told him no.
