    Thurman vs Porter, Maidana or Alexander?

    Imo Thurman will fight one of these 3 next. I'd most like to see him fight Porter as I think he's the best out of the 3, but I think the other two are more likely.

    Maidana has made it clear he wants D.Garcia next, but I doubt D.Garcia would be thrown in with such a dangerous opponent in his first fight at the full 147 limit. I'm not even sure he beats Peterson, but if he does, he'd likely be matched up with an opponent like Berto to help him settle at 147.

    An Alexander fight would be trickier than people think, Thurman won't look good against him and it would be a step sideways rather than a step up from Guerrero.

    Who do you guys wanna see Keith fight next?

    Maidana.

    But I'd be good with Porter aswell.

    Don't want to see Alexander.

    If he beats one of those two in impressive fashion he's in the mix big time. Should then get an IBF title shot.

      Maidana or Brook would be my first choice, i think they are the hardest fights out there for One time, while i make him fav to beat both of those, a loss wouldn't surprise me. I have had him huge fav vs every other opponent thus far.

      Thurman vs Porter is my second choice. Got a bad feeling we will get Keith vs Bertoe though ha.

        As a boxing fan I wanna see Thurman vs Brook, as a Thurman fan though, that fight scares me. I don't see it happening anytime soon anyway, I think politics will stop it.

        Thurman vs Maidana is most likely to happen I think, I don't think Danny will fight Chino yet and what other options are there for him?

        Thurman vs Berto definitely won't happen, they are close friends and Berto would be a massive step back for Thurman, he's probably not even a top 20 welterweight.

          Thurman beats all of them. Probably KO's Maidana and Porter.

            i'd like to see him challenge for a real welterweight title against brook. if that's not possible, then maidana. if that's not possible, then khan. then alexander. that's my list in order of priority. i have a feeling it will be berto, though; he is now ranked #6 by the wba...

              Thurman has already said he would happily fight Brook and even travel to the UK for it. Hearn doesn't seem too interested though, he came up with the old 'it doesn't make business sense' bull****.

              It's a super fight, 50-50 imo.

                I like Thurman and I hope he fights Maidana next, for many reasons:

                1) Thurman would get little to no credit fo beating Porter or Alexander:

                a. Porter is now a bum apparently
                b. Nobody rates Alexander

                2) It should be an entertaining fight

                3) I can't stand Maidana so I want Thurman to beat him up

                    Hopefully its Maidana, but i can see Maidana ducking Thurman again. Already did it once and Maidana is acting like a diva recently.

                    For the love of god i hope its not Alexander. Guerrero and Alexander are essentially the same fighter.
