    A lot of support for Thurman. I honestly don't see his chin holding up.

      Why? Because of the shot Soto Karass caught him with? That was a shot he didn't see coming and it didn't badly hurt him, he put his hands down straight after and invited more pressure.

      He took some vicious shots from Chaves who's a monster puncher.

        i honestly don't know cause while thurman passes the eye test, he hasn;t fought anyone and there were a lot of moments where he looks shaky against weak opposition.

            Not only the Soto Karass fight, it seems that every time he is caught flush he's hurt. I won't say his chin is on the level of Khan's but i don't think it will withstand porter's explosive offense.

              I'm gonna go Porter, once Porter catches him, Thurman will loose the will to live and be all booty dew. . . I like both fighters, would love to see this happen.

                    Porter is cruder but tougher. I think Porter wins by KO.

                      Porter essentially ran away from Julio Diaz when he got caught, and his stamina is vastly overrated on this board. He doesn't hold up over an entire 12 round fight. Judging from the eye test of course. Thurman has passed the eye test on numerous occasions when it comes to holding up over a 12 round fight. Meaning, I don't see him fading, and gassing like Porter does.

                      Don't forget, Thurman's gonna be the first guy that's gonna really test that gas tank of his, and actually have the ability to do so.
