    I'd also argue when you fight names its not so much about the money for that specific fight as its enhancing your own earning power by defeating that name or even if you lose I think it helps you as a guy like Victor Ortiz could attest after getting entertainment opportunities he likely would have never gotten if he's name hadn't been connected to Floyd's name.
    Ain't that the truth.

        Floyd would've toyed with Thurman.

          I think Thurman lost more fans than he gained in his last fight. I'm one of them. I was so excited to finally see him perform, what a let down. Still wanna see Garcia though for trying to make a fight.

              He already is the #1 WW in the world lol. Floyd is PFP #1 and while he probably won't fight again I literally don't see a fighter that would be favored against him. Not even lil g at 154 or Crawford at 147...and TC looks pretty much unbeatable so far in his career

                    Why should it be a concern, especially at this point? Mayweather fought Berto, instead of him. Isn't that obvious Floyd wants nothing to do with him?

                    Why can't these media people just move on and stop resurrecting the past? Focus on fighters and ask them why they're now fighting once a year. Start with One Time Thurman. Doe.
