    The Collazo fight let him know that he isn't all that he talked himself up to be and Porter is the wrong style for him. A guy that can get inside, out muscle you, out hustle you, take away your strengths.

    Thurman wants some more soft touches, Porter isn't exactly a soft touch.

        With Porter, he's always openly said he would love that fight.

        So whatever the delay is, it's got nothing to do with him not wanting the fight. I'm 99% sure they're just waiting for the right date/network.
        Ken and Shawn said Keith is the hold up.

          They said they don't know what's going on, they're assuming it's Keith because he's said nothing. Recently Kenny said he was told the Thurman fight was on and he was told that from the top, so I think he's just getting sick of waiting, but there's nothing Thurman can do about that, he doesn't pick the date or the venue.

              I saw it a couple of times, even Porter's side said it, that Thurman agreed and neither fighter is holding it up. They keep pushing the date back and we don't know why. Last I heard it was supposed to be the debut of PBC on Fox, but that was never confirmed.

                What indeed?

                Not like him not to at least talk some smak.

                Hope nothing unfortunate has happened.

                  Al Haymon happened. He moves when Al let's him know too. Porter too tbh.

                    That would be consistent. He will try to beat Algeiri worse than Pac or Khan.

                      Not my fault you got butthurt.
                      He was telling you that Thurman doesn't talk as much as you seem to think. Even after he replied to that, you still said the same thing about Thurman talking a lot. It's pretty obvious where you were going with this.
