He's calling Floyd out: http://m.ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/182011-keith-thurman-soto-karass-a-stepping-stone-to-mayweather

If he is able to upset marquez, alexander, bradley, or pacquiao. Then I see Floyd mayweather fighting him. Keith thurman need a house hold name. He need to step up his compeition to earn Floyd mayweather respect. Floyd only fight someone coming off the biggest victory of there careers.

Like Floyd's past opponents (all the way to 2007), he needs to have won a belt and have headlined fights on either Sho or HBO to have name recognition and PPV marketability

I hope he does fight Floyd, I think he'll be more competitive against Floyd than Adrien Broner or Danny Garcia not to say he will win, but when I pay 70$ for a fight I'd like to see a competitive one. Broner and Danny are stiff-legged but still are world class fighters who'd have a PPV fight against each other that I'll gladly pay for

He's pretty hyped up for beating an unknown Argentine. But he simply doesn't have a big fan base at all and those take years to grow. The only way I see him getting one if he beats the winner of Maidana vs Broner which guerrero will get the winner next. If he beats guerrero vs whoever wins then I see him getting a shot. But everyone wants a piece of Floyd. And he only has 4 fights left.

A big victory over a name a such a Pacquaio, Marquez or Bradley will get him there. Too bad they all work with Top Rank.

I totally agree with the guy above me he needs a big win which I don't think he is going to get any time soon.Anyone can call out anyone means nothing.
