    Thurman-Porter and Garcia-Guerrero in the works?

    Let's take a spin around the rumor mill once again, because, well, why not? Talks has been heating up that Thurman-Porter and Garcia-Guerrero are both in the works for later this fall. Although the Twittersphere is catching fire about these potential fights, FightHype is also citing sources who are substantiating that these match-ups are really being negotiated.

    According to their sources, Thurman-Porter is being considered to go on a Oct. 3 PBC card featuring Adrien Broner vs. Khabib Allakhverdiev, and Garcia-Guerrero is being considered for a late October date. With all that speculation out of the way, let's just consider the match-ups themselves at face-value.

      I think the Khabib/Broner fight can headline without Porter and Thurman. All three fights are huge, Garcia vs Guerrero especially.winners meet, would be something else.

      Porter may very well beat Thurman, that's a cracking fight right there. Haymon will win a lot of fans over signing these fights off.

        Best part about the Garcia-Guerrero fight is watching Angel and Ruben go at it during the build up. I can see Angel snatching that Heisenberg hat off of Ruben's head during the press conference and Ruben losing his **** on stage.

          I don't like Garcia-Guerrero. Guerrero looks shot and it could get ugly. He is a good guy, don't want to see him turn into the new Castillo. At least he is getting paid though.

            When is Danny Garcia going to fight a "somebody." And by that I mean a fighter in their prime. The last one was matthysse and it's been soft touch after soft touch. Guerrero looks like he gets hit and hurt easier now. Just in time to serve him up to Danny. I hope Guerrero has his best camp and beats this dude.

              seems like porter and thurman are the only PBC fighters willing to fight the best available. the rest are all happy with their constant mismatches.

                When the best part about a fight isn't actually the fight.
                I think guerrero is about done. I see garcia stopping him given the styles.

                  I think haymon will serve up better stuff once mayweather has finished up.

                    Porter vs Thurman sounds good, but no thanks on Garcia vs Guerrero, Robert needs a soft touch, Thurman almost stopped him, came back 3 months after that fight and almost lost to a 30 to 1 dog (he probably lost).
                    How about Garcia vs Khan? Garcia has fought soft lately, so has Khan. All 4 want to be a star, these are the type of match ups we should be seeing, not Algeri or Paulie.
                    Too much talent at 140-147 to not make some great fights.
