    “He is the money man. He wants to be money, I want to destroy him,” said Thurman. “What is a better way to destroy money than to burn money?”

    “I will definitely take it to him in a way that has never been taken to him before and by doing that I will be doing something that you guys would actually not even expect, A lot of people think they know the formula, but there is no real formula. It is all about the millisecond, being in the moment.”

    “To be honest, I see it 50-50 from my perspective. He is highly intelligent, world-class level. He knows what it takes. Floyd Mayweather is the best seven-round fighter in the world. The reason why he is the best seven-round fighter in the world is because it takes seven out of 12 rounds to win a world title.”

    From my perspective, there are three fights that could happen on May 2nd. It could be Mayweather-Pacquiao, Mayweather-Khan, or Mayweather-Thurman. Which one seems more likely?

    Well i don't know if it's 50/50 but Floyd is getting older and he's eventually going to slip up.

    Thurman has a punchers chance. I think Bundu showed how Thurman can be beat. What Bundu did wrong was not up his workrate. His output was very low.

    Well I surely won't expect him to say it's 90/10 in favor of Mayweather.

    Which boxer would say any different. I'm waiting for the avalanche of comments stating that Thurman hasn't EARNED it.

    If he upped his workrate he would have been KO'd. He would come in with flurries and then get the hell out....Dont underestimate one time because of the haters on this board. I think him and brook would be hell for Mayweather. Thurman has mega power, but what makes him a great fighter is his ring intelligence.

    Thurman isn't ready, he's real close though. There are bigger fights to be made.

    The fight being made is 1-99 but the outcome is 99-1. Thurman would crisp Floyd for 12 rounds

    Floyd is a dark-skinned brutha. How do we know when he is burnt to a crisp?

    Thurman is all wrong and suicidal for Floyd right now .


    He would be all over him from the opening bell .

    I don't really see what happened in keiths last fight that are making people dismiss him now .

    He won EVERY ROUND , and put his man down in the very first rnd .

    It was 12-0 Thurman on scorecards .

    Exactly how does that show Thurman can be beaten ??

    Floyd would get seriously hurt by One -Time .

    It amazes me , this mans aura of invincibility is OFF THE CHARTS .
    Mayweather is human and can get his lights put easily at any point just like any other fighter , his last fight definitely proved that .

    Thurmans has serious holes in his D, he's a KO waiting to happen. Floyd would potshot him for 12 boring rounds

    I hate to break it to you, but Bundu isn't in the same universe as Floyd. Don't use that as an outline for how Thurman would do against Floyd.

    Thurman like to hear his own voice. He need fight more talk less.
