Keith Thurman continues to pursue a possible fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., though the thought alone seems remotely happening. So remote that he is willing to do anything to make it happen, including a tiff with Errol Spence if it would be the only way to fight the undefeated Mayweather.
Thurman hardly turned heads with his win over Luis Collazo and from the looks of it, that will continue. Though he believes he is a notch over Spence, the belief is solely limited to him.
Mayweather is unofficially set to face Andre Berto on September 12 though Thurman shares the same sentiment as everyone else that Mayweather is not likely to retire.
And on that note, Thurman hopes that there is still ample time for him to try and fix a match against the flamboyant one though he joins a list of other boxers wanting a crack at Mayweather Jr.
For his part, Thurman is willing to face Spence only if the winner gets to fight Mayweather next. Fair enough?
Mayweather is not the type who would give in to a compromise, known to be someone who calls the shots. So with that in mind, could Mayweather even consider it?
Per Thurman, it seems that a fight with Mayweather is the only benefit though such is unlikely to happen.
Thurman believes he is ready to face Mayweather but the thing is he may have to work out on his consistency and credibility as singled out by Amir Khan in an interview with Sport360.
Ironically, Thurman is also calling out Khan though the British southpaw is taking his time. He did say that he could consider Thurman next year but as his case with Mayweather, he may have to get in line as well against Khan.
