    I think Thurman beats Porter, but Porter would stylistically be a harder match-up for Floyd.

    Porter will swarm Floyd non-stop for 12 rounds, he's a very skilled pressure fighter with a good jab, footwork etc. He's very good physically and athletically as well.

    Thurman might try fighting at Floyd's pace and get outboxed imo. If he fights on the front foot and pressures Floyd though, he could give Floyd a very hard time as well.
    I agree with this 100%. I think Thurman handles Porters pressure well and I'd favor him vs Porter. But I think his boxer-puncher style is more suited for Floyd. Porter's constant pressure would be more troubling for Mayweather

          neither.. thurman and porter both need more impressive wins in order for me to have any interest in them fighting floyd. they shoud fight each other and the winner would be an acceptable foe for mayweather.

            porter presents more of an interesting fight.

              Too soon for either I think. Another impressive win and people would be really looking to see them in with Floyd.

                  I think those two are pretty much the same level opponent but I'd prefer Porter just because it will be a unification bout.
