    I've like Thurman before he ever appeared on HBO. But dude needs to move up or shut up.

    Fighting him makes zero sense for any of the top welterweights right now. THat's not PBP the fan speaking that's just dealing with the realities of boxing.


    Thurman vs. Lara. Let's get it done.

      A smaller guy? Porter is one of the bigger WWs, he's fought at 154.

          He should have said "the whole Golden Boy stable is ducking me"


          Pac, Bradley, and Provodnikov would fight him if he was with Top Rank.

            He shouldn't be forced to move up in weight to get fights at this stage in his career.

            They can't duck him forever, his time will come.

              Why would anyone duck Thurman?

              He hits like a mule,has a good chin, and boxing skills.

              After all, you only have to fight him..."One Time"

                Keith Thurman's sht talking game is cold. He sent big time shots at Pac and Bradley too.

                  Thurman said he'd sign to fight Canelo. Thurman v Lara is interesting, but I'm not sure he'd be the same killer at '54.

                    They can and will. Floyd will be unified champ. WBA and WBC

                    Porter has the IBF and the winner of Porter/Paulie has to fight Brook at the end of the year.

                    Unless they elevate Floyd to "Super Champion" and give Thurman a shot at the "Regular" WBA title.

                      Probably will. If Collazo beats Khan, that fight might be for the regular title - assuming Collazo is still game.
