    Both are Floyd Mayweather's mandatory. I know, I know, Floyd will duck them both :patsch... which fight would you want to see more?

    Want to see Thurman step up one time and he'll become an instant bum as all do Mayweather's opponents after he beats them.

    I think people developed a pre-conceived notion that Floyd cherry picks so when he does select a fighter, there's a reason behind it. They'll say he's ducking Khan in 2014, he fights him in May 2015 and they'll say he's ducking Thurman and Khan was the easier opponent. It doesn't matter who he picks... if he picks Pacquiao now they'll just say Pac was old (ignoring Floyd's age) and say he ducked Khan and Thurman. He's got potentially 6 welters he could fight with two fights left, they'll say he's ducking at least 4 of them :deal

    Floyd is not getting into the same ring with Thurman .

    Everyone knows this .

    But Khan on the other hand will definitely be one of his last 2,3 fights .

    Hes running out of options , he doesn't have much to choose from .

    Khan and Thurman are bums? What is Algieri?

    I voted for thurman but I change my mind. I want the Khan fight more. I doubt he takes it though.

    Disagree .

    I don't see Thurman trying to repeat Canelo's gameplan .

    "Be stationary and only box "

    I don't him personally but I doubt Keith is that Dull .

    I see Thurman trying to repeat Maidana gameplan which had success .

    Brawl , jab , smother , might mix a little boxing in there every now and then to surprise Floyd . He has quicker hands as well compared to Chino .

    Thurman will take it to Floyd all night long .

    Too much of a risk , so its not going to happen .

    I'm not a big fan of Khan, but in a sick way I can see him giving Floyd problems. Khan's biggest weakness is of course, his chin and it is doubtful that Floyd will be able to exploit that, so Khan might be able to outwork him and steal some rounds. Don't think Khan can win but might make it close enough so Floyd can milk a rematch. I don't think that Floyd really wants to fight anybody, but sadly, he can't get those 30mil paychecks unless he fights. Probably be the usual, Khan in Vegas, pillow gloves, Bayless, huge ring, $80 ppv price, Biebs on the ring walk, looking at the clock etc...

    Khan brings in a huge British fanbase, which equals more $$$. So that's something that Floyd Mayweather's surely aware of.

    At this point (never thought I'd say this) Khan might pose a serious threat. I really don't think he's a "cherry pick" the way some of you talk.
