    My Top 3 on who's gonna beat Keith Thurman

    It seems nobody wants to fight the most avoided 147 pounder for now, Keith Thurman, but if ever these 3 choices of mine step into the ring with him, who among them is gonna deal Thurman his first loss. I scrap out Mayweather and Pacquiao as there's really no way or unimaginative for Thurman to be paired against these two HOF-bound.

    My Top 3 in order who has the best chance:

    1.Shawn Porter - We have'nt seen the best of Porter yet, but if he beats Paulie and Kell Brook, then Porter could be the man.

    2.Marcos Maidana - If only Maidana believes in himself that he could beat Thurman, if the Mayweather fight wasn't made, Maidana fights somebody else other than Thurman.

    3.Danny Garcia - The perfect fight plan he did against Matthysse can work against Thurman, Danny could outbox him.

    I'd favor Thurman to beat Bradley, Alexander and Matthysse in an entertaining fight, Khan and Broner gets destroyed.

    He will probably fight everyone's favourite journeyman Super Zab first. Another must see fight courtesy of Richard 'I don't know what I'm doing' Schaffer.

        Porter and Maidana already ducked Thurman. He'd KO both of them.

        Danny Gift Garcia is an awful suggestion, he wouldn't beat many of the top guys at 147.

            LMAO!

            I don't even care what people have got to say but hell no does he lose to either of those three!

            Marcos Maidana is a small man at 147lbs and he is the same old fighter that Amir Khan beat, Keith Thurman with the same game plan that took Soto Karass to school beats and arguably could even drop and maybe stop Maidana.
            Maidana is a gunho type of fighter and he will come across someone sooner or later who will outgun him and that man is Thurman.

            Danny Garcia... Mr one dimensional?
            The Diego Chaves victory is a bigger win than Thurman beating Danny Garcia and do you really think the referee will allow Danny to clinch and nut punch another star name fighter again to victory... Danny went life and death with a fighter who only had one eye and even with Lucas fighting with just one eye Danny still seem to think it being necessary had to clinch and punch the poor guy on the nuts, NO WAY DOES HE BEAT Thurman!!

            Porter... Perhaps but If you want to look at the time he fought Julio Diaz who in my opinion is the first man to beat Porter, he has layed out the fight plan plus Porter doesn't have enough power to phase him atleast with Maidana and Danny they actually have the off chance of hurting the opponent, Porter could be walked down.

            If anything the suggestion of names you see him beating could likely be the ones to beat him...
            Could definitely see Timmeh beating Thurman.

              Thurman will KO Porter in less than 5 rounds.Porter will lose to Paulie.

              We'll have to see if Swift brings power up to WW.

              Maidanna vs Thurman has me salivating.Great fight.

                Porter is a very solid fighter, I'd only pick Pac, Floyd and Thurman to beat him at WW.

                Danny would get battered by most WWs, the guy is so overrated it's unreal. He's a limited, basic fighter with decent power and a good chin. That's it.

                  Nobodies ducking Thurman. He just can't get the type of fights he wants right now because Showtime isn't ready to back him fully in terms of dollars. They are still trying to build him up on the cheap. And when he's ready his opponents will start getting offers too good to turn down. You throw contenders some cheesy offer of course it's gonna get turned down.

                    I'd pick Thurman to beat all three.
