People are on Thurman's jock after he stopped Karass, calling it a decent win, well Maidana stopped him too, it was a decent win. Lopez had just stopped Ortiz, who was 1 fight removed from fighting Mayweather. Maidana stopped him. Yeah Broner was severely overrated, but many many many picked him to beat Maidana's ass and/or out class him.
Point is, right now, the two possible fights at 147 that deserve it are Danny Garcia, who doesn't seem to want it next, and Marcos Maidana.
Maidana is what he is, they should strike when the iron is hot. Porter could eventually throw himself into the mix and grow into a bigger fight. Besides, Porter has a mandatory with Brook, if I'm not mistaken.
