    I can't tell if you're being serious right now.

      I see Thurman as I saw Porter, a one trick pony.

      Porter has big strength and little else, Thurman has big power and little else. He will struggle with Kell's boxing and I question his chin against a legit puncher.

      I've got Kell by KO, same as I would have this time last week.

        Thurman would knock Brook out.

          I think Thurman wins. Would be a good fight though.

            I don't agree at all with your assessment of thurman. He can also box going backwards he showed that when he fought vs chaves. He is more than just a wreck less power puncher. I do agree that his chin is shaky though.

              I don't think Thurman is a bad boxer, I just don't think his skill-set is above average. He has decent skill, but I don't think it'll be close to good enough against elite opposition.

                  I'd have to favour Kell, I think it'd be a similar fight to Porter.

                    I don't think so, Thurman isn't a swarmer/pressure fighter like Porter, he's more of a boxer-puncher. He likes to fight on the backfoot and can box far better than Porter.

                    I think Thurman vs Brook would be more of a boxing match, but I can see Thurman landing something vicious late on and stopping Kell

                      Thurman doesn't get frustrated. He's just as focused and patient as Brook. This would be a more technical fight.

                      It's definitely not going to be a similar fight because Thurman doesn't fight like Porter.
