    any legit risk would enhance his ****py legacy. i want to see him fight thurman instead of calling his prospect(errol spence) on him.. that's an obvious duck

    :lol::rofl
    Then after he shuts out the wide open an untested Thurman you wouldn't give him an ounce of credit anyway. You're a hater.

    thurman is better than berto, so is brook, porter, khan and garcia. why do you think floyd picked berto lol.. we haven't heard floyd say how bad he's going to beat berto, he's on record trying to justify his choice: "berto always brings the action" "this is one fighter i can't over look" "berto always comes ready to fight and he's going to bring his 100% on fight night" "i needed a guy who can push me to my limits........" really dude?

    Yes Berto is horrible.but Floyd just beat a fighter who would probably shut down Thurman,Brook etc..

    Floyd has already beaten the best,nothing left to prove.only fight what would enchance Floyd legacy is GGG at 160,and even that's debatable because GGG is not excatly worldbeater or Marvin Hagler.and Floyd is also closing 40,so one way it would be stupid.he is so out of his prime.3-5 yrs ago Floyd would have tooled GGG even at 160.now GGG could very well KTFO Floyd.and only because Floyd is so ridicuosly shot.

    For the money...Kell Brook at Wembley. That's won't happen so...

    Bradley in Vegas. A tough fight due to Bradley's style, but a UD for Floyd.

    I've seen your kind before. Before the fight is signed PBF is scared and will never fight him after the fight is signed it's a cherry pick after PBF wins no credit given and he's ducking someone else we've seen this time and time again and Thurman would be no different. If he fought Thurman people would say he only did so because Thurman got hurt and looked bad against Collazo, you're not fooling anyone here.:hi: There was a poll here immediately after the Thurman-Collazo fight asking if you still wanted PBF to fight Thurman and it was like 80% no.

    PBF at this point has earned the right to fight who the hell he wants he just fought in the biggest fight of this era. No fighter in the sport would jump right back into the fire after a mega fight like that no one, yet you PBF haters expect him to.

    pacquiao was shot to sh*t, everyone wanted that fight in 2009 when pacquiao was running through any and everyone. it's 2015 pal, floyd doesn't deserve credit for that win. and berto lost to ortiz and guerrero(two guys floyd beat). so pacquiao being able to beat brook and thurman are completely irrelevant.

    no fight will come close in terms of finances to a Pac man rematch. It doubles the sales of any fight out there.... especially for Mayweather.

    I would be very very suprised if he takes on one the top WW in their prime. but lets not beat about the bush here if Floyd was in his prime he would destroy every name in this thread.

    but floyd is older than pac man by 2 years sop could be argued that he is further past his peak than pac man. ill give you the berto fight as being farily meaningless but i think the rest of the names on his resume cover it up !

    well was there a poll asking if anyone wanted to see him fight berto? i didn't think so buddyboy. thurman stopped collazo so "thurman looking like sh*t" is just haters being haters. the last versatile fighter floyd fought against(oscar dela hoya) he almost lost and i think that fight was a draw. the last bad style matchup(legit risk) floyd fought against was who exactly?

    age means absolutely nothing. bernard hopkins beat roy jones in a rematch and he was wayyyy older than him.

    signs of pacquiao being shot:

    FLOYD THREW MORE PUNCHES THAN HIM

    when was the last time floyd threw more punches than an opponent?

    age means nothing then why are there no fighters aged 60 surely with that experience and since age means nothing they would be greatest ?!?! age means absolutlely nothing :patsch:patsch:patsch

    I suppose Tyson just choose to be bankrupt then ?! cos at his age it would have meant absolutely nothing !

    dunno you tell me ? when did he throw more ? to me it looked like Mayweather put everything into his punches early rounds to give pac the marquez feeling and discourage him charging in and then just controlled range for the rest of the fight.
