    I like Thurman.... and him losing to Mayweather might take away from his aura....

    I know a loss doesn't define greatness, but I think it would be great if people were able to say 'Floyd ducked Thurman' and it would enhance his reputation...

    like how some people said Sugar Ray Leonard ducked Aaron Pryor....

    just my thoughts.

    no i want thurman to be one of mayweathers last fights, if floyd he loses he passes the torch.

    keith thurman will be a top welterweight of this next era.

    He's Floyds only threat at 147lbs.

    With his awkward style, angles and explosive powerpunches, he might just hurt Floyd, and if he hurts Floyd the way Mosley did, I see him going ALL OUT on Floyd.

    I'd love that fight, if you don't you're not a fan of the sport.

    What people seem to forget is that Mosley was going all out until he got hit with a left hook by Mayweather.

    I'll be surprised if Golden Boy decide to cash him out. Both Thurman and Porter are major future names in Golden Boy.

    When Thurman loses to Mayweather, his career will never be the same again unfortunately. Every fighter Mayweather faces gets the overrated treatment when it is all said and done. Look at what they're doing to Canelo right now, Thurman will be no different. They'll never let him live it down.

    i don't see it happening... thurman winning that is....

    but him calling out mayweather and mayweather retiring would be like having a victory to some degree, in a commercial/ marketing aspect.
