    Porter and Thurman both have been called out by Roberto Garcia and since Thurman has trouble fnding opponents why not fight Garcia ? Should be an action packed fight both guys can crack !

      I got Thurman. That's my boy right there. He can **** but he can box a lil bit too if he has to adjust.

        Thurmon has more potential to be in the P4P list. I wish they were fighting each other.

          I think both are far off having what I'd class as a p4p level skill set. I feel Thurman has the higher ceiling of the two but he is a K.O waiting to happen.

          I think he has more potential in terms of ability but Porter could potentially go further based on chin (which isn't proven by any stretch but I've seen nothing to indicate he can't take a good shot) and sheer strength. He is a big, strong physical guy.
          Thurman more skilled but the more frail of the two I feel.

            How would you rate Mayfield compared to them? I think Thurman is just the second coming of Randall Bailey to be honest.

              I haven't seen enough of Karim to have an opinion really. I think I've only caught one maybe two of his fights & caught a decent sparring session between him & Manny the other day actually.

              I will get round to checking him out eventually lol

              I was thinking more a raw & unpolished little David Haye with a slightly more questionable chin.

                Thurman has the potential to be better. He can **** with both hands, shows decent lateral movement from time to time and has decent ring IQ.
                As it stands Porter is better because he along with Floyd, Chino & Bradley are champions of the world (sanctioning bodies need to sort that mess out, 4 f****** champs??????). Porter seems to be sound with the fundamentals although he does tender to smother his own work with that annoying clinch he has a habit of doing.

                  Both are stand up, classy gentlemen. But I have to ride with 1 time.

                    Neither really...

                    Good fighters, but p4p is only for the super elite, not just guys that are good in their division

                      I think a good spoiler-style fighter could beat Porter.

                      I don't see too many fighters beating Thurman right now.
