    Let's pump the breaks on both of these two.

    This isn't even Vernon Forrest-Shane Mosley yet.

            Okay..so I was very wrong about Porter. He is much better than I thought that he was.

            I would welcome this fight now,big time.

            Someone's "o" would have to go and most likely by KO.

              i like Porter and think pretty highly of how he learns quickly, but i think Thurman would get the ko, if there is one. Otherwise Thurman s/d or u/d.

                Hearns and Hagler were proven top champions when they fought....

                  Porter vs. Thurman is Hagler/Hearns if Hagler and Hearns were unproven f*ggots. By comparison, of course.
                  Nothing needs adding to this.

                      I understand Hearns and Hagler were more proven but I did say Modern Day. As much as we would love another Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler, most athletic boxers nowadays prefer the safe road to a UD. I think just like Hagler vs Hearns, Porter and Thurman fight each other with bad intentions. As a matter of fact, Bad Intentions would be a great name for their event.
