Marquez vs Porter. Who wins?

[John Locke]

I find him to be one, especially his counter left hook or right uppercut. The fight will prove how defensively responsible Porter can be when moving forward, against Alexander and Malignaggi he had nothing to worry about. Even then Alexander still managed to tag him but simply lacked the fire power which Thurman doesn't.

I think Porter could struggle against a skilled puncher like Thurman, stylistically it's not a good match-up for him. He could walk into something big.

If the tried to fight Thurman with more caution and tried boxing him instead of swarming, I think he'd get out-boxed.

Porter is solid all-round though, I think only 3 or 4 fighters can beat him at 147. Pac, Floyd and Thurman are 3 I'd pick to beat him with confidence.

Marquez may prove to still be too good a counter puncher for Porter's aggressive style, I don't know right now. This is why I want to see Porter face someone like Thurman because it'll answer these questions, the way people quickly get behind fighters can be really annoying sometimes....

True, He's still a very good counter puncher... but I wonder if he can take that much damage at this stage of his career going on 40

I added a poll because I think the result might be close and it'd be interesting.
