    Maybe if Porter goes to the body where Maidana has shown in the past to be a bit soft and if he can handle Maidana's punch because he will land as I expect Porter not to run.

        Maidana with the IBF and WBA straps would be pretty appetizing for Mayweather. A bout with Porter is very risky though and could very well hurt his chances of a big payday with Money May..Then again isn't Thurman now the mandatory for Maidana?

          Who's going to get him?
          There's always 1 in every division ,although I see GB using him to build up Thurman then maybe unify.

            Nice lil fight. But honestly, I'd rather see Thurman get a shot at one of these guys before they take on each other. I think this kid has proven himself at the fringe level of the division and I wanna see him get a shot at a contender. He's Chino's mandatory and I'd like to see that honored. And if Chino gets a shot at Floyd, which I doubt, I'd like to see Porter give him a shot. Because honestly, guys like Guerrero and Malignaggi, who have already turned down fights with Thurman. Likely have no interest in fighting him now. Someone needs to give this kid a shot at proving himself. And if they don't, I think it might be wise for Thurman to try his luck at getting some of the top guys at 54 in the ring. I think he can fight in that division. He and Lara seem to have trouble getting guys in the ring. A match-up between them would annoint the winner with the "most feared fight in boxing" label that some welterweight or jr middleweight always seems to carry.

              Not gonna happen, as much as I'd like to see it Maidana already said he's only looking for big money fights.

                Do it. It's good recognition for Maidana if he unifies and Porter comes in and brings it for almost the whole fight.
