Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman: Shawn Porter is The Number One Option!

[QUOTE=TLC8;14475579]

Brook isn't beating Porter later this year, just etch that in stone. There will be no time yet this year for Thurman and Porter to get together so Thurman needs a fight this Fall and that makes Bradley the right opponent. Thurman - Porter next Spring at the earliest. If Thurman beats Bradley he can fight anybody.

Brook doesn't have to fight Porter if he gets Floyd deal. It sounds far fetched but again from a business standpoint it would be a good look. Showtime would split Floyd's fee with British PPV company, you'd get a huge live gate with a good undercard. It makes sense businesswise. From purely a boxing standpoint it's ridiculous. Floyd can get a gimme fight like Pac got against Rios..lol

Thurman-Brook/Porter winner later this year.

Winner get's Floyd.

Makes sense.

Agree, Iron. Agree.

First and foremost. Thurman will KO Porter by the 9th round. Secondly Porter will beat Brook easy and either way it goes when Thurman KO's Porter Fraud won't give him a shot cause he don't want to get ktfo which is what would've happened so he will take the Khan Collazo winner which is the clear easy way out which was strategically planned to be promoted by having them exposed on the ppv undercard which is the same being done by weight drained Canelo. Y'all keep forgetting Fraud is safety first and makes his own rules so why would he take a fight that's risky and he will get ktfo from when dumb fans are going to buy his hand picked easy fights ? Lol. Thurman will never get his shot. Fraud will say he's not going to fight him he wants him to take over the sport when he leaves lol.

It's as ridiculous as Amir Khan. Boxing would not let that happen. Brook is mandatory next for Porter, and that's the end of Brook. These guys that inflate these records not fighting anyone credible always get train wrecked. Plus Showtime committing $200M to Floyd with 3 fights left are not going to let him have a gimme. Floyd can't get away fighting the Khan-Collazo winner; neither of those two stiffs are credible. Manny is back as the number 1 contender and Floyd avoids him. Floyd won't fight Porter, Floyd won't fight Thurman. He won't fight Manny. Floyd is kind of stuck. He either needs to fight one of those three who are the divisions best, or go fight Gennady, and he doesn't have the ballz to do that.

Floyd won't fight:

Pacquiao
Porter
Thurman
Provo
Gennady

Who's left?

Bradley who's been beaten up 4 straight fights?
Khan-job/Collazo winner? Lol!
Paulie Mags? LOL!
Alvarado if he beats a drug free 40 yr old counter puncher?

You can dream up your scenarios but the truth is Floyd won't fight those guys, and that leaves guys that don't deserve a title shot, and would make for horrible fights. Mayweather fights aren't exciting to start with.

PS: if you measure Diaz as a common opponent for predicting Thurman stopping Porter in 9, you should be drug tested. Porter is not the same guy who fought Diaz 2 years ago. Thurman doesn't beat Porter today.

Thurman and Porter shouldn't fight each other any time soon. That fight needs to marinate for a few years to become a mega-fight. The so called top A class fighters need to give these young up and coming lions like Thurman, Porter, and the like a shot. This is the way boxing use to be, everybody fought each other.

I disagree. Do you know how many top matchups have fallen apart because one of the two guys lost? Both are top fighters and top fighters should be fighting each other. If they had just turned pro then yes, it should wait but both are top welterweights.

Porter fought Diaz less than a year ago. The draw was 2 years ago, but Porter didn't outclass Diaz like Thurman did in the Porter v Diaz rematch.
