WBA welterweight champion Keith "One Time" Thurman (26-0, 22KOs) is looking to clean out the welterweight division in style.

On March 12th, he faces former IBF champion Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16KOs) at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

Should he win, he wants to face newly crowned WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia (32-0, 18KOs) in the fall.

Thurman was ringside on Saturday night as part of the FOX broadcast team, as called the action for Garcia's title winning twelve round decision over Robert Guerrero.

Garcia, in only his second fight at 147, made adjustments to get the victory but had some tough moments with Guerrero. Thurman dropped and dominated Guerrero for most of their twelve round fight last March.

Garcia may have another fight to deal with of his own. The World Boxing Council has ordered him to face mandatory challenger Amir Khan by June. Garcia is not very interested in the fight, but Khan is going to press the issue with the sanctioning body.

"Of course I want that fight [with Danny Garcia] next," Thurman told BoxingScene.com. "First, I have Shawn Porter on March 12th. Once we get through this fight with Shawn Porter, then we can do it.... two young, undefeated champions with power."

"I'm planning on taking over. This fight right here [with Porter] is going to solidify, one step at a time - clean out the welterweight division and prove that I'm the best welterweight in boxing today."

"The road begins on March 12th. Put me at the top if you want to - thank you for all your love and respect. Put me in the middle, put me at the bottom - it doesn't matter. We are just getting started. There are still other welterweights to take care of. Some believe that you're not the best until you fight everybody. Well, Keith 'One Time' Thurman wants to fight everybody."
