    Not if it's the version that fought Conor.... Buy if he actually had a real training camp or stayed active like Manny. Thurman not winning.

    Prime Thurman might pull out the W tho.

      Could the 40yo Floyd from the Mcgregor fight beat Keith Thurman?
      Yup. Most new welterweights would of been whipped by any welterweights of 10-20 years ago. Easily.

        No because Floyd was in full no-risk mode vs. McGregor. Thurman would beat that version.

            Agree. With that said Thurman fought a younger more active Porter at that. He abandoned his boxing and went into beast mode to beat Shawn. People seem to overlook the fact that Keith has fought 3 times with legit injuries. He knew if he didn't fight Pac while he was hurt he"d miss that golden ticket. No knockdown and Keef wins, or draw at worst. I know the truth behind it all. #facts

              Triangle theories don’t work in boxing all the time. Just because Floyd beat Manny doesn’t mean he’ll beat Thurman too, especially at age of 40. As some have mentioned, Floyd had his chances of proving he can actually beat Thurman before he retired but he didn’t fight him. All that is left right now is a speculation and I don’t think I’ll favor a semi-retired legend over a current undefeated elite champ in his prime.

                If he was still active, yes. As things stand, he would get TKOd.

                  But seriously, Thurman has never wanted any part of Spence. Instead of trying to re-estabish himself as a legit competitor he want a rematch with Pacquiao's old ass. Why do you think that is?
                  Have you been reading the articles as of lately? It’s Spence who don’t want the Thurman fight not the other way around. Spence doing the exact same thing he was accusing Thurman before. Don’t try to paint the picture that Spence is still the ‘boogeyman’. This isn’t 2017 anymore.

                  Btw, Thurman WAS the ‘boogeyman’ during Floyd’s time before he retired

                    That was a very different Thurman than the broken long time off Thurman that Manny beat, and it was Floyds last fight, you might be surprised who Manny fights as his last fight, and I bet your one of the guys that says Manny has nothing to prove he can fight whom ever he wants too, now apply that same process to Floyd.

                    Floyd would not lose a round to the Keith Manny fought, Keith wouldn't lose the same way Manny beat him but he would lose just the same only clear, Keith is a boxer and Floyd washes boxers.
