    let's shift the topic from floyd-marcos for a second

    Anyone else notice how huge Porter looked next to Thurman. I always considered Thurman a big welterweight but Porter looked massive next to him

    I thought I heard them say he started as a middleweight fighter, so I really wouldn't be surprised.

      I think you are correct
      Still the size difference was crazy

          Thurman doesn't look like a big fighter, but he seems to pack a big punch.

          Good fight, but I don't think this fight has the buzz it deserves right now, I can see GBP saving this fight till next year.

              He may have looked bigger but he can't actually be much bigger. A welterweight can only be so big and then they have to move to 154. Thurman and Porter both have to weigh in at 147 or less in a title fight and neither of them carry any extra fat so they are about the same size give or take a pound. Porter has wide shoulders and a big chest but he is short.

                Hard to change to topic of such a great and controversial fight.


                The rematch will be huge.
