Your choice: Mayweather vs Thurman or Mayweather vs Porter

[IronDanHamza]

both fights are good but that's why i would rather see Thurman first...i feel he's a bit more versatile and more adaptive...Porter, i see him rushing in and getting clinched like a mfr for 12 rounds

Porter doesn't let you hold him though that's the thing.

If there's one thing Alexander can do well it's spoil and hold but Porter was never letting that happen. He knows how to combat it.

Another reason why I believe he'd trouble Floyd.

I think Porter's style poses a lot more problems than Thurman's would.

[IronDanHamza]

Well said. And i'll also add that either fighter are the only 2 welterweight that could probably beat Floyd right now. Which is why he won't fight any of them.

Right, just like he wouldn't fight Shane or Cotto at 154 right?

Or let me guess, you were lying when you said that?

Yep, on top of that Porter isn't as good on the inside as he's made out to be, Diaz showed us that.

Bush, I don't know why you continuously do this to yourself, one or the two will happen and you will again feel ******. It's 2014 bro, give it up

Pretty clear he's improved since Diaz though isn't it?

It's really hard to say. Last time he fought a fighter who can fight decently on the inside with respectable power was...Diaz.

Well he rocked Alexander and knocked out Pauli two guys with proven chins so he must have some power there.

Alexander wasn't as cautious as he usually is against Porter and Pauli is finished and has never fought somebody as big as Porter. Honestly that win didn't overly impress me, I was saying on these boards for a while that Porter is gonna wipe the floor with Pauli.

I don't know. Matthysse, Maidana and Bailey are big punchers and Devon took their shots pretty well. Porter shook him up a few times. Paulie's chin isn't too bad either.

Again, Alexander was a lot more cautious against those guys than he was against Porter, he fought differently.

Porter's got good power, nothing more imo.

Mayweather-Porter. He has a title at 147, and he has a inside bully/wrestling type of fighting style that casual fans and Floyd's haters/critics would love. Porter has a bland personality and needs to be more interesting outside the ring in order to make the fight sellable. Thurman has the charisma to sell the fight, but he needs to have more quality wins on his resume.

He looked improved in the second fight let alone his last two fights.

He's definitely improved his game since then.

Please find where I said Floyd won't fight Cotto at 154.

I also said Floyd won't fight the Punisher, but you don't yap about that.

You alluded to it in your thread "Why doesn't Floyd fight Cotto at 154?"

Or were you lying when you made that thread?

You said Floyd wouldn't fight Shane, then you said he'd get KO'd by Shane. Fast forward 4 years and you said "I was lying"

What's the odd's you'd be lying about either of these fights if they get made? Pretty high I'd imagine.
