Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Spence Should Fight Keith Thurman Next

[Ray*]

These two have history and Spence had said that he pretty much gave Thurman the business. Would be a good fight but an unnecessary risk for Thurman but my money's on Spence. I really do think Spence is that good.

Yep, I know it's only the amateurs but it seems spence has a good history over thurman but it's the pro that counts i guess and as of now Thurman has more experience than spence.

Why can't these two fight? Floyd fought Hernandez and corrales before he was 25. I'm all for this fight.

Exactly! All am reading is people talking like Thurman is now a big threat to Mayweather lol, he doesn't have the experience nor has he fought at any level close to what he might have to in a Mayweather fight. So i don't see whats so wrong in him suggesting Spence and Thurman fighting.

Thurman and Spence never fought in the amateurs, both have confirmed that

[No Tomorrow]

Basically Floyd's way of saying : "Me fight a guy in his prime who not only punch, but box moving forward, backwards, laterally as well? I'll pass . ."

It's too early for this. If Floyd drops his WBA then it should be khan vs thurman

[BWC]

He'll fight Amir Khan. They'll work out the date. Khan can't hurt Floyd, Floyd isn't going to fight guys like Thurman or Brook or even GGG; those guys hit way too hard.

Of course. This is Floyd's retirement fight. He wants two things 1) an easy win over a "name" opponent 2) not taking any punishment in the course of it.

Khan provides both. It's Khan easy.

Nope. If im thurman I saY no .

Haymon owes kieth a bigger fight. Khan or broner or bradley. I wouldnt allow spence to cut in line. No way. Good fight 3 years from now after spence earns his

[Achcauhtli]

I'm down for this scrap...make it happen

[Luilun]

Floyd is just trying to get the Thurman off his back side, like when he got Mosley to beat up Margarito for him now he's trying to get Spence to take out Thurman for him the last thing he wants to face is a pressure fighter with power

[BaDaBiNgVIP]

spence looks strong at welter. he has the potential to be successful in more than one weight class. spence vs thurman would be good. i would like to see spence vs garcia or spence vs A-MERE-CON.

It's very clear that a lot of you guys don't understand boxing. I'm confident that Keith Thurman is NOT stronger than Canelo Alvarez. Floyd was supposed to be so scared of Canelo, until he embarrassed him. He was so scared of Manny, until he embarrassed him. Your hatred for him is making you look dumb, you have to be able to hit the guy to hurt him. Keith Thurman does not have the resume to warrant a big time fight with the best in the world. Amir Khan doesn't either, had he fought Brook or Broner he would have his fight with Floyd...just like Maidana did. You don't get a title shot and the biggest payday of your career without earning it. There are a lot of idiots in this room.
