Thurman-Porter and Garcia-Guerrero in the works?

[_original_]

Hope So! Time to take the Training Wheels off of a lot of these fighters and for those who don't want to step up, demote them to Bounce TV or Fox Sports 1 and cut their Pay. PBC is a great format but other than Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Arthur Beterbiev, Eroll Spence Jr and a few others, everybody seems to be playing things very safe because they don't want to lose their spot and stop making that good Al Haymon money I guess

I don't think Guerrero being the second opponent for Garcia at 147 is a bad thing at all

I agree with the rest, but Spence has fought absolutely nobody at this point.

guerrero is the zab judah of the 2000's.

worse than Zab Judah bro

Porter will put enough pressure on Thurman to have him on the back foot all night.

Don't forget, Keith gets KOs off his back foot.

Danny Garcia like Paulie that why he did not end him early , but Guerrero team has a big mouth that will win Guerrero a beatdown in this fight..

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.

... Khan doesn't want that fight, and Haymon, as he's done with most of the other fighters that he works with, isn't going to force anyone of his guys into fights that they don't want. Brook, Garcia, Maidana, and Thurman, among others, are ready to fight Amir Khan whenever he wants to fight.

Guerrero has had a long run and, frankly, I'm not sure how many fights he has left; he's 32 now, has been fighting professionally since he was 18 years old, has had 37 fights, and is still a relatively marketable name at this point.

A Garcia fight is likely to put a pretty big payday in Guerrero's pocket, and then he can take a break and get matched soft for a few fights (with his next big fight coming against Erroll Spence Jr in 2017); at that point, whether he wants to keep fighting on after that is on him and his team.

Why are all the PBC fighters wasting their primes with bad matchups? Porter and Thurman the only 2 guys that have some balls, the rest is just happy picking cherries, making easy paydays and fooling the fans. Pathetic, these arent real fighters, there are just forgettable nobodies.

They're protecting their records
