    Realistically he's not going to fight any of those guys.

    Porter, Maidana, Alexander, Guerrero are realistic targets.

    I think he will fight Maidana

        I feel he'll walk through guys.

        He's just a hell of a fistfighter.

          Definitely. Considering he has the most influential man in boxing handling his career, as well as most of his possible opponents, fighters not wanting to fight him needs to stop being an excuse.

            too small for 154 but yeah, he could step up, he has a fair chance against these guys but the issue is, does he want to step up and/or will his handlers allow it?

              There's absolutely no reason for him to move up.

              He's hasn't achieved anything at welterweight yet and isn't big enough for 154 anyway.

                    He's never weighed in above 152, a lot of young fighters fight at a higher weight when they first turn pro then slowly start moving down as the competition gets better.

                    Thurman walks around at around 160-165, makes weight very easily and is usually between 154-157 on fight night. He was only 153 on fight night against Bundu.
