I personally will throw a parade when Mayweather retires...but Thurman better slow his role and bone up on his basics before he even thinks Mayweather. Seriously, why are we so enamored with rushing guys into a career blender like they come with talent expiration dates If Thurman is on a level of Floyd...cough cough...he'll take a gradual step up and shine and make a statement, if not he'll go the way of someone else previously sharing the "Floyd has to fight HIM" mantra...Shawn Porter

Thurman is one fight...1...from being continually caught with right hands and having his legs buckle in the 1st round with Soto Karass. His answer was to stumble into the ropes with his hands down. Soto Karass at the start of a fight has the speed of a horse drawn carriage, and one going downhill when he warms up. Thurman has potential, charisma and the gift for gab and a willingness to engage. He needs work and to get off this tag line of "one shot-one time" blah and power beats all. Floyds a giant size arsehole with a little man complex, but right now he would time and tame Thurman like he does one of his Snufalufagus looking body guards.
