    Seriously.





    Thats the matchup that needs to happen. Pass the torch Floyd....I dont care about any nut hugger on this board, KEITH THURMAN WHOOPS FLOYD. WHOOPS HIM. Call him glass, call him whatever the hell you want. Keith Thurman BEATS FLOYD MAYWEATHER.

    Bank it. Save this post. I will leave eastside forever if they fight and he doesnt.

    Porter beat Broner better than Maidana, if we're basing it solely on rounds won, he should get the shot against Floyd.

    That being said my first choice is One Time.

    Right... same as Floyd feared Pac. Here's the deal. Floyd is going to honor his contract and and fight #49 in September. He does NOT give a c r a p what you or I thinks. He's going to fight who HE wants to fight. Collect his guaranteed $50mil and ride off in the sunset. Seriously, stop worrying about what Floyd is going to do. Because Floyd will do what Floyd wants to do. That's it. That's all.

    I swear, some online posters should write movie scripts.

    Man, read through Floyd's resume, look at yourself in the mirror and say he's afraid of Keith Thurman. Then slap yourself multiple times, not softly either.

    Thurman's not ready for Mayweather. After Mayweather beats him, the haters would rightfully say that he was too green.

    If he fights Khan, he's got no power and no IQ and he has no chin (None!), Thurman, too green and basic, Brook, too green and nothing special, Cotto, already beat him once so was cherry pick, Golovkin, he was weight drained and overhyped, Garcia, lost arguably two of his last three and Salsa... so whoever he picks is the wrong one and whoever he doesn't pick were who he ducked and their qualities are exaggerated.

    I don't think "Floyd is scared" is the best way to propose a fight which is often used by the fans of his potential opponents, including Khan. But I agree unless he fights GGG at 154, which is unlikely, Lara, Thurman or Brook are the best opponents (he didn't already face) he could fight at this point.

    It's pretty obvious LOL Thurman has been Floyds mandatory for 2 years now. Orgs let Floyd do what he wants.

    Be a very good fight and thurman can do it all but I still think the experience floyd has would win this fight, in september he should fight kell or thurman though for me, both are the top true welters out there and are good all rounders good defence, good offence and can punch.

    Spence impressed me last night but hard to fully judge because his opponent was fighting on 2 days notice and had only fought once since his loss to shawn in 2 years, he looks like a top top fighter though.
     
  14. I 100% whole heartedly co-sign this post. Mayweather hates the thought of fighting a Black fighter and I know that for sure.

    Floyd is afraid of any fighter who has speed and good defense, namely Keith Thurman and Erislandy Lara.
