    don't know about being his biggest challenge, but i think thurman would give floyd more problems than brook.

    ironically, i think brook beats thurman rather easily.

      At this time, I think Amir Khan presents the biggest threat to Floyd's 0. I like Thurman, but he's a boxer puncher/counterpuncher and I can't see him out-thinking Floyd. If he catches Floyd with something big that might change, though.

        I would like to see Thurman vs Mayweather, I really would have hoped that Thurman and Khan would've had fought each other so the winner of that fight gets the real boxing fans bragging rights to get the chance to fight Mayweather, but Thurman and Khan are fighting one sided mismatches next instead.

          Either Thurman or Porter.

          The guys who have given Floyd trouble were mostly applying pressure and body punching.

          Amir wouldn't be able to do ****. It's a misconception that outfighters are tricky for Floyd. They got a jab but fight at Floyd's best ranges.

          See how pacquiao was barely to do anything vs Floyd. manny fights at the wrong distance. So would Amir

          Their style provides too much range, so it's easy for Floyd to dictate the pace.

            Keith would be more competitive with Floyd

            Porter would be tougher

            I see the latter being similar to Floyd-Jesus Chavez. Shawn could throw a **** load of punches but ultimately loses because he's easy to hit. That lack of defense along with his preferred distance

              Look at Thurman's fights, look at how he moves. There's no one else in the welterweight division who moves like that. I think that alone would frustrate Mayweather, plus Thurman's youth, size, and speed could have him landing even more than Maidana did.

                manny was. and he made it look easy.
