Thurman would be my choice. It would be a terrific test for both.
A short personal story: I was a USA Boxing judge in Akron, Ohio. As such, I was a judge for Shawn's very first amateur fight (circa 2000?), and many subsequent ones in the Cleveland/Akron area for a few years. It was fun to watch him grow as a boxer, and really fun to see him succeed.
Brook really has fought nobody that I feel that strongly about him getting a shot..Although I would not watching the fight..
He's the mandatory...who had Porter fought better than Brook?
Brook deserves the rightful shot but I just feel Hearn has left him to fend for himself as he busies himself with multimillion pound Froch/Groves/Kessler clashes and his new golden boy in joshua.
I'm asking who he fought to "deserve" a shot at Alexander. Answer - no one. So why do people need to "deserve" a shot at him?
You must be under the impression that I approve of the porter Alexander fight..I was not, and felt the same about that fight tbh..I'd like to see these guys earn a belt..I also said if this fight did get made I would not mind, cause it's a good fight..
I'm acting like ,shut the fuuck up homie..I'm acting like a fight fan who likes when fighters fight someone of note to get a shot..Porter was unbeaten,and beat at least a known name in Diaz..The same guy who last fought Khan who is talked up to fight Mayweather..No??Ok then,he also beat Alexander a unified Champion..Who has Brook been in with again??Once again shut the fucck up..:doh:

It will be one of Thurman, Paulie or Callazo and the other two will fight each other on the same card. Thurman wanted Maidana but Chino has Broner or potentially Floyd next.
Thurman would be a beastly first defence, high-risk, low-reward. Collazo is an interesting fight but I think Paulie would offer Porter the most $$.

What exactly did Porter do to deserve a shot? You're acting like Porter is some long reigning champion with multiple defences. It's Shawn fuking Porter. The kid was a staple of ESPN until his last fight.
Brook is the mandatory challenger, that's all he needs to "deserve" a shot.

At Porters belt ,I would say yes..Maidana Broner Thurman all should be ahead of Brook at the chance to fight Porter..So you believe anybody even some bum off the streets should be getting a chance at a belt??Then again you most likely see Khan as a fighter who should be in the ring with Mayweather..:pat:

Oh ok,like I said I really would not mind watching this Porter vs Brook..I just feel he is not really deserving of the shot..It would be a good fight tho,so can complain to much..

I think he's the mandatory so I think it's likely to happen soon.
