unified titles in 2 of his last 3 fights, fought the p4p number 2...and now fans are like "he has to"...really??
i hope floyd takes a farewell and goes on to build one hell of a promotional company...words like "i dont love boxing anymore" shouldnt come out of active fighter's mouth...so if i'm 38-0 with an undeniable hof resume and money in the bank and several other banks i'm walkin away from a contact sport...

beat thurman and all u hear is "he was green"...no mf's he's lightskin and a truly average boxer that loves winning exchanges...

andrade beat him 30 to 10 in the ams...ask me wat man ever beat floyd 30 to 10..

like thurman but he has to sure a lot up before he's freakin even on a level near floyd

FMW is not fighting an athletic orthodox fighter with all his power in his left hand. Re-watch the Chaves fight. He shots the right and turns from a Philly Stance. And what did Thurman do? Once he dealt with the counter/shot right, he worked Chaves to the body w/ left hooks vs trying to loop a right over the top like Maidana did with FMW which just gets deflected by the shoulder.

What would be left for old FMW vs Thurman? Either he walks Thurman but Thurman actually fights off of his back foot, he could trade rights with Thurman which is a good laugh, or finally, try to stab thurman to the stomach for 12 rounds and keep him at distance.

Then again, he could hold but Thurman doesn't smoother his own work like Porter.

FMW vs Berto on PBC Free TV or even Khan and his glass chin coming off of fasting, so he should be weaken a bit after a 7 week camp.
80.20/75.25 fights the way FMW likes them.

Why Spence vs Thurman? Spence has excellent punch placement from the southpaw stance like Lomachenko. The theory is, if Thurman don't spark Spence, Spence should be able to beat him up for 12 rounds and win on cards.

What does that mean? FMW's real #1 contender threat is gone, since he has made Spence his boy. Now, he can keep fighting next year. Manny 2 and a blowout vs Danny Garcia in Sept 16. Why would haymon move danny into the 147 division when he is fading in 140? To get beat up by Thurman or Spence? Nope? Big money PPV with FMW and Danny's fraud undefeated record.

keith got a fan pass for ignoring that devon call out and waiting on managers instead of being proactive and reaching out to ppl that could have made the fight...
Where's keith's prime black fighters at? bundu??
bundu got a bike advertising job after that fight...the company figured since he kept keith on his all night that he could inspire other ppl to ride as well...GTFOH

go ahead u thurmtarddz compare it to 38 year old in his last weight class fighting guys who outweight him 12-20lbs floyd mayweather

thurmans has been at 154 and he's running from a former 140lber and that is ok?
there is no way i could see floyd running form ppl at 130 and think that he's a complete figher that will win championships in 5 divisions.

keith showed me he has a chance of getting ko'd before he ever reaches 154 for good

that knockdown he got off the role means nothing..chavez does not have floyd's eyes nor does he have the ability to bend at the waist to make u swing and miss terribly....if u dare work floyd's body without crowding him u're going to get caught and countered from the same side that u threw..thurman would go to school and take a long break before doing his homework aka his next fight..

u mfs been crying that floyd going to cherry pick danny for years...it dont happen and u just move on to the next year without ever eating your crow...floyd aint thinkin bout no damn danny garcia..

peterson fight went either way btw..and so did herrera..the kid is just hated so it is in your hearts best interest to call robbery....but i'll admit he is on the brink of having that 0 taken and i dont htink its much he can do about it

i remember when pacquiao wouldnt smoother his work..i remember when chino would learn not to smoother his work in the 2nd fight...what happened?? frustration happened..they didnt smoother their work frustration did time and time again..u cant hit wat u cant see..and u cant score on wat u cant hit..and when u cant score all those bum beating tactics u learn come into play and u start smoother your work beind made to look like floyd's personal air duster
..just whiffing away at nothing

What the fu@k are you talking about????

if u cant make that out then i wont bother helping..thurman is a joke that's looking for a payday..his undressing is soon to come..why u think he has no black fighters on his resume? bc he's not slick he's a bum that likes to exchange and hit and dont get hit while he doesnt..
